1 year bowl ban.
Loss of 4 additional scholarships (3-3-3 over 3 years)
Additional year of probation.

5 things...

1. We are the first program in NCAA history to be hit with a bowl ban for a Failure to Monitor charge only. Bowl bans have happened in the past yes, but all of those instances involved a LOIC charge which was not levied against Ohio State.

2. Gene Smith, don't let the door hit your ass on the way out. Seriously, fuck you. You handled this mess poorly P.R. wise, you shifted the blame as you saw fit, and you botched the entire process from start to finish.

3. So, let me get this straight, because we didn't self-impose a bowl ban, now the Tat 5 and the rest of the suspended players all get to play in a bowl game this year? Fuck that.

4. If not for the selfish actions of a stupid booster (DeGerinimo) and a couple of stupid players yet again (Posey, Boom, and Marcus Hall), we wouldn't have gotten a bowl ban.

5. Thanks to tOSU and the NCAA, for taking an issue that was known about during the August 12th hearing and dragging it out until now where we can't even use the bowl ban for this season.

Glad to know that my senior year (3rd year senior here) I won't even have the possibility of buying bowl game tickets.

I read that the NCAA is considering them a "repeat violator" which is why they got the postseason ban.

I thought Gene Smith bringing in Urban Meyer would save his job? It seems to be that if Smith was going to be fired that would have happened already, no?

BTW, if you ask me a 1 year bowl ban really isn't that bad.

The timeline for Smith was that he would be gone as soon as this whole scandal was over.

Well at least OSU brought in a coach with some moral fiber to take care of this mess.

WHO CAREZ HE WINZ GAMEZ AND THE NCAA DOESN'T HAVE JURISDICTION OVER EYE GOUGING

I'm really hoping that Gene Smith is boxing things up in his office right now.

Although that probably won't happen because Gordon Gee is too busy worrying about whether or not Urban Meyer is going to fire him.

So SB, ask yourself, was he worth it?

Bitter much? Without him you'd have 2 less championships.

I'd like to hear why Ohio State's penalty was significantly lighter than USC's.

Once again the NCAA proves it's a crock of shit.
