NCAA Football '11-'12

Damn.  They have to hit OSU harder than they hit USC if even half of that article is true.  Too bad they can't SMU 'em.

If they did that would be hilarious.

The NCAA is never going to give a team the death penalty again.  I'm not sure they're ever even going to give a team a no-TV penalty again.  The worst that Ohio State can expect is 5 years with no bowls and major, major scholarship reductions.  Not that that wouldn't be very bad for them.  And yeah, all things considered, I'd say that Ohio State should get at least as hit as hard as USC.  The violations by players that have been confirmed (not counting the unconfirmed allegations) aren't nearly as bad as the extra benefits that Reggie Bush got, but the falure to report by Tressel when he was told about it and especially his lying about it later are bad.

I think this episode just shows the lengths one has to go to to be successful at a cold weather school these days.

Chip Kelly, when hearing that one of his players had been picked up by the police, said that he was deeply concerned and would demand serious consequences that could include a possible scolding or even loss of game time in "some future game, probably in the 4th quarter". When told it was a third string freshman linebacker, Coach Kelly kicked him off the team.

I guess. Still going to be 5 years in the wilderness though.

edit: Corrected HIDEOUS grammar. Tim-like grammar.

I'm going to keep that comment in mind as the next few years pass.  It is either brilliant or looney, and I don't know which.

Jealousy is such an ugly emotion.

Yep.  If the NCAA had suspected at the time that SMU was going to be completely destroyed as a football program they never would have done it.  They are staging a bit of a comeback recently though.  It has been really hard for SMU alums to see their hated rival TCU have so much success.

Nothing that can't be found reading Ted Millers Pac-10 blog. Errh, Pac-12 blog I mean.

It's not like you have to go looking for the latest news from Thug-U.

Seems obvious in retrospect what would happen. What did they expect?
