UPDATE TSIO: Herron & Posey Out Indefinitely
Well, it appears that Posey and Herron were taking other benefits than just tattoos. Looks like they may have been receiving some money for summer jobs in Cleveland. Read for yourself and let me know what you think:
Herron and Posey Out Indefinitely
EDIT: Lawyer for OSU has stated that the eligibility of one of the Tat 5 is now being called into question by the NCAA. This being reported by 97.1 The Fan in Columbus. They have not said if it's Adams, Posey, Herron, or Solomon Thomas.

Yep. Stupid TouchPad.

I think Hoke has changed the tide on the rivalry. Hell people in Ohio are starting to believe him. Never in a million years I would have thought that. Selling Michigan jerseys is a good start.

Do you have this comment saved and just keep reusing it? I swear this is like the 10th time I've read that same thing, word for word.

A quadruple-post and I've obviously missed something. That's it. I'm done for the day.

Hoke Tide Rivalry

Additional allegations:
Violation is excessive compensation re: hours work/dollars paid. Violation will be considered with the other violations, not a separate issue.
Players:
*Posey, Hall and Herron out for this weekend.
*Fellows (med hardship) and Sabino (already reinstated)
Questions:
Q: Why do you think that LOIC will not be applied:
A: Failures are individuals (athletes, coach, and a booster). These are infractions that individuals committed.
Q: If you keep having a bunch of cases isn't that indication that there is some kind of a problem (LOIC)
A: Derp derp -- Individual descisions by individual people -- Derp derp
Q: What is the status of the Booster DiGeronimo?
A: He has been disassociated from OSU.
Q: Re: Gene being accountable.
A: I am accountable, that's why I'm here.
My take:
Derpa derp derp

I was literally laughing at my computer when he continued to talk about indivuduals...isn't everything an individual's decision. It's a lack of compliance education. As The Common Man and Torg are saying, if the fans in Columbus know who these boosters are, why doesn't the Compliance Office???

Also from O-zone:
Yes I do. Fellows and Marcus Hall were all 2011. Sabino was 2010. Herron/Posey were 09-11
So at least some of this stuff was post-tatgate
I would love to thank these guys for this overly generous stupidity

I don't see the difference between getting paid straight up and getting paid for not showing up for a job you didn't do. Lets call it for what it is - OSU pays its players.

"Anybody watch that Gene Smith presser? I did and I've gone from little confidence to almost no confidence in his ability to right the ship. At this point I would consider it an act of God, Tom Cruise, Allah or whoever you do or don't pray to if we avoid FTM or LOIC from NCAA. At some point an isolated incident becomes a pattern of behavior and we have crossed that bridge Bucks fans."
