I hope Colt drops to the 2nd Round, then turns into Ryan Leaf 2.0. No reason really, it just seems like the perfect ending to his career.

What a shitty way to end your college career.

If Bradford is still considered a first round pick, I doubt Colt falls to the second round; that's not a career threatening injury, his arm just got lit the fuck up lol

Feds on OSU's case

Quote

Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel was informed that some of his players had sold memorabilia to the owner of a tattoo parlor more than eight months before the school said it was made aware of improper transactions, Yahoo! Sports reports.

The website, citing an unidentified source, reports Tressel received information as early as April 2010 that players were selling items to Edward Rife, who owns Fine Line Ink Tattoos in Columbus, Ohio.

Tressel, university president E. Gordon Gee and athletic director Gene Smith planned to hold a news conference at 7 p.m. ET on Tuesday, the university said.

Smith is the chairman of the NCAA's Division I men's basketball committee which selects, seeds and brackets the teams for the NCAA tournament. He came back from meetings in New York to address the brewing controversy involving Tressel, who is 106-22 in his 10 years as coach of the Buckeyes.

Smith has said the local U.S. Attorney's office alerted the school on Dec. 7 that some of its players were selling items, such as jerseys and championship rings to Rife.

Soon after, the school opened an investigation and informed the NCAA of the possible rules violations.

On Dec. 23, quarterback Terrelle Pryor was among five players suspended by the NCAA for the first five games of the 2011 season. All the players were allowed to play in Ohio State's 31-26 victory against Arkansas in the Allstate Sugar Bowl.

If it is proven that Tressel knew about the possible NCAA violations and did not inform Smith or the compliance office, the coach and the program could face more sanctions.

Tailback Dan "Boom" Herron, wide receiver DeVier Posey and left tackle Mike Adams, along with Sugar Bowl star Solomon Thomas, a backup defensive end who had the game-clinching interception, were also suspended.

Each player was also made to repay to charity the value of what he gained by swapping their memorabilia for cash and tattoos.

Ohio State is appealing to the NCAA to get the suspensions reduced, although the NCAA's decision to allow the players to participate in the Sugar Bowl drew criticism and questions.

Smith was scheduled to meet with television network officials on Tuesday morning, then fly to Indiana for a dinner with the other members of his committee. The 10-person committee will then be sequestered from Wednesday through Sunday afternoon before announcing the tournament brackets.

Might have been the case when it was announced back in September, but it doesn't look bad now. True they play at Wisconsin for the conference opener, but their next game is at home against OSU, who will be without their best players including Pryor. After that outside of Penn St (who'll have a QB with more experience this time, but still won't be back to past greatness) they can cruise through. Maybe Michigan St. gives them some problems, perhaps Iowa. But they should roll over everyone else.

As far as I know the NCAA can impose tougher penalties on Tressel than the ones he has got now, and I bet they will.

But come on, man, HE DIDN'T KNOW WHO TO TURN TO!!!

And as we all know, saying "you didn't know" is the sure solution to getting the NCAA to slap you with a limp wristed penalty. That, and being a major school in a big conference.

Good fucking riddance. The entire program should be put on probation, given how long they've gotten away with breaking rules. But it's good to see a coach finally get punished, instead of the players taking all the punishment.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #328 on:** May 30, 2011, 02:42:01 PM »

That's another thing. A player who makes similar mistakes would have to go pro or head to juno status. These coaches go from program to program breaking the rules and nothing is done. The best example is probably Calipari at Kentucy (basketball). Dude destroyed the Memphis program, had their tournament runs forfeited by the NCAA....and then hops to the premier job in college basketball without a scratch on his hands. Where he is no doubt breaking the very same rules. Pathetic

I knew when Ray Smalls came out last week and was like "Oh yeah, I sold rings, we all did. We all got deals on cars too, everybody knew about it, it was no big deal" that there was no way Tressel could survive. Even the NCAA and OSU higher-ups couldn't brush this aside with their limp, noodley wrists.

It's sounding like probation is a big possibility, we'll see.

A lot of people here are talking about how this will help Michigan and MSU in terms of recruiting, which is true but I feel Nebraska might be the biggest winner. Their staff has a couple guys with deep Ohio ties already. They're in a position to really dominate the conference now. Wisconsin is still very good and PSU will rebound, but that's about it. Michigan is still rebounding, MSU has lost a lot of defensive players, and now OSU is shitcanned.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Terrelle Pryor's career at Ohio State, which started with so much promise and potential, came to an abrupt and scandal-ridden end.

The Ohio State quarterback announced through his attorney Tuesday that he would not play for the Buckeyes this season. He had already been suspended for the first five games for breaking NCAA rules by accepting improper benefits from the owner of a tattoo parlor.

"In the best interests of my teammates, I've made the decision to forgo my senior year of football at The Ohio State University," Pryor said in a statement issued by Columbus lawyer Larry James.

Miami is so fucked (stolen from GAF)

http://sports.yahoo.com/investigations/news?slug=cr-renegade_miami_booster_details_illicit_benefits_081611

Quote

A former University of Miami booster, incarcerated for his role in a $930 million Ponzi scheme, has told Yahoo! Sports he provided thousands of impermissible benefits to at least 72 athletes from 2002 through 2010.

In 100 hours of jailhouse interviews during Yahoo! Sports’ 11-month investigation, former Hurricanes booster Nevin Shapiro described a sustained, eight-year run of rampant NCAA rule-breaking, some of it with the knowledge or direct participation of at least seven coaches from the Miami football and basketball programs. At a cost that Shapiro estimates in the millions of dollars, he said his benefits to athletes included but were not limited to: cash, prostitutes, entertainment in his multimillion-dollar homes and yacht, paid trips to high-end restaurants and nightclubs, jewelry, bounties for on-field play (including bounties for injuring opposing players), travel and on one occasion, an abortion.
