OT: Ohio State Football self reports violations, will vacate games.

[pkongsh]

AP Friday Dec. 22 - The Ohio State university, after narrowly missing the College Football Playoff, has self-reported "numerous" undisclosed recruiting violations that occurred during the 2017 season. Sources say that the nature of the violations will affect the official results of all games played during the specified period. The university is hoping to avoid further investigation and sanctions by self-reporting and voluntarily vacating results of games played during the period in which the violations occurred.

As the result of the petition submitted to the NCAA on Friday, all games played between Nov. 3, 2017 and Nov. 5, 2017 will be expunged from the permanent records of both the NCAA and The Ohio State University. The program will also be placed on probation for 12 months as part of a settlement reached with the governing board of the Big Ten earlier this week.

Funny. The Iowa game was on the 4th. Is it April fools already?

I cannot believe Ohio St (or any program) would actually self report a violation. It's dumber than disco. Deny, lawyer up and threaten to sue their asses.

I missed the part where Alabama self reported their violation when they offered Nixon, a player with a valid, signed letter of intent to Iowa. Let me know when that story hits the news media.
Dealing with the NCAA is like dealing with the DA. A plea deal will get you 3X the amount of jail time that fighting the charge will. I wouldn't even answer the phone to talk to them. Ship them straight to University legal and let the games begin.

Clever joke. Yeah, I'm pretty sure they want that game vacated from all records and all memories, lol.

Well if the NCAA gets involved, the OSU swim team will lose scholarships. They wouldn’t dare punish the football team for breaking the rules. Similar to UNC basketball.

Yeah, every team in the country self reports violations, including Iowa. Report it, take the slap on the wrist and move on.

No they don't. And they get away with it.

Yes, they do. Pay attention.

 

[ScoutRefugee]

Yes, they do. Pay attention.

You don't know what you're talking about.

 

[bojihawk44]

You don't know what you're talking about.

Every school does it, and why wouldn't they? Take the slap on the wrist and not risk a major violation. Incredibly simple.

Dumber than disco? That is REALLY frickiin’ stupid.

If you mean that they don't report all violations, or don't self-report the most serious ones....that may be true, but nearly every school self reports minor crap on a regular basis. I know Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota for sure have over the last 5 years. Nebraska, for example, was for providing extra textbooks or something like that.

That is pretty clever, I wonder if Notre Dame would use he Manti Te'o situation to vacate that @$!#: Alabama laid on them and Te'o.

I bet his uh.......girlfriend didn't appreciate the limp he had after the game.

Can we vacate the 2016 rose bowl stomping?

 

[Stewhawk]

I find it amusing and interesting that so many bit on the joke post about Ohio State self reporting so that the only game vacated was their loss to Iowa.
