re: Top 5 Most Severe NCAA Football Penalties Handed Out & Ohio State

I don't think there is any question that OSU will be found to lack institutional control. Hell, when your head coach knows of violations and tries to cover them up and keeps knowingly playing ineligible players, that is the very definition of a lack of control by the institution. This was not a rogue booster or running backs coach. This was direct and admitted involvement by the most powerful man on campus. If all the 50+ cars turn out to be violations as well, we could be looking at penalties even greater than Alabama or USC.

After the Cam Newton situation, the NCAA is looking for any way to show it is still credible and hammering OSU will be its solution.
