geez dont get your panties in wad, but you saying the 2002 "Means" rulling is far less than what tOSU will be hit with is laughable and suggest you dont know about the whole scenario that happened in that rulling.

I read the ruling. I know what we got in trouble for. Albert Means was the #1 thing they used to hammer us and allowed the penalties to be stiffened by putting us in the window of a repeat violator.

FWIW I have been saying this for a while now. I am good friends with several ex-buckeyes and 2 that are in the NFL and played under Tressel. Lots of shite went down there, but they will not be caught for it.

The NCAA doesn't need "lots of shite" to impose stiff penalties. They have proven this time after time. All they need is a little bit of substantial evidence as well as an ax to grind.

In the case of OSU, they already have evidence and I'm willing to bet that ax is already being sharpened. And while I am by no means an expert and am not wired in as you claim to be, my gut tells me that OSU is going to get hit bad. Contrary to what I insinuated, I do not believe there will be a TV ban because it does hurt more than just the team being punished. However, I do believe they will get hammered worse than USC.

Jim Tressel, the head coach of a major NCAA institution, lied to the faces of NCAA investigators and actively covered up the facts of the case concerning Terrelle Pryor and the others. My gut tells me that the NCAA is PISSED OFF about that.
