Please... learn about what you are talking about before you speak about it... these have NOTHING to do with the 5 involved in the tattoos or Tressel, not a dang thing. You and wjb need to stop saying "I don't follow things" and then come in with remarks that show you haven't even taken the time to learn what is going on.

These 3 players took $200 dollars earlier this year and are given 2 games. Miami players took stuff over the past 2-4 years and part of that was recruiting violations. Though I think we can agree Miami has it's turn coming... this particular nonsense seems ironic given the cash amounts were the same as well as the transgressions. Same thing with the one player of the 6 that only got a one game suspension because of the $$$ value.

Already noted and acknowledged that it might be that there is more too it as they stated.

OSU to answer more questions of the NCAA from latest transgressions.:

Did you notice the ? I was asking. And Tressel was still the coach earlier this year. His wrongs aren't limited to Pryor and the other 4. The 1 game suspension's were at different schools, and as soon as the news broke they fessed up. It could be as simple as because OSU is under strict scrutiny due to the other offenses, that the same offenses are going to bring stronger penalties at OSU.

OSU fessed up as soon as this came to light as well. Again, with the information given their is either something more that we don't know or this is BS. Miami is going to hit hard, so I am not worried about them. But the standard given for that "crime" has been on game. I'll be interested in hearing why this was different. Just because Tressel was the coach is totally a BS remark. That means squat and implies something that is not the truth.

so being repeat offenders or committing violations during an investigation wouldn't bring stricter penalties? How is that not hard to understand?

No, it wouldn't, not to the personal players. The school takes the blunt of any "repeat offender" issues, not the individual players.

The Buckeyes better start taking these Rockets seriously, they beat UofM a couple of years ago and it was pretty much down hill for the Wolves after that.

These Rockets are tough... hard to figure out who to root for for me... OSU fan , Toledo grad... Hafta go with OSU clearly but if anyone is going to do it might as well be Toledo. Speaking to a graduate class at U of Minn and all I could remember is when we upset them while I was in college.

Bauserman looked good against Akron because... well they are the worst team in the NCAA. Once he gets any pressure he's not looking so hot. We also lost 3 starters to injury in this game. That on top of the suspensions... not looking so good.

This Page kid is SICK...

That was close.

Heaven forbid this little devils take $200 dollars...

yeah those poor guys..heaven forbid they have to be like everyone else and PAY for college......

You're right, because others have to pay we should limit what they can actual personally benefit from their efforts. We should make it fair and make sure they can't benefit too much from their talents we so eagerly generate one of the largest markets in the world. Share the $$$ they worked to generate... Stalin would be pleased!

They are amatuer athletes who get a free college education and you compare that to Stalin - wow.
