Someone please contact Pete Thamel and ESPN

Well for this I have no doubt B1G and NCAA will find a way to blame Harbaugh and suspend him an extra year.
December 9th, 2023 at 5:24 AM ^
Harbaugh made them do it by beating them 3 years in a row. It's not fair!
December 8th, 2023 at 10:28 PM ^
*3 game suspension imposed before the three most important games of the season.
December 9th, 2023 at 8:27 AM ^
Except suspending Day might be helpful for at least one of those games.
December 8th, 2023 at 10:29 PM ^
This is not their first time violating the tampering rule (see Micah Parsons recruitment during the Urban years). Peetitties should act swiftly and irrationally. Worst scandal in sports history.
December 8th, 2023 at 10:30 PM ^
Worst scandal in the history of the sport. Taints the rivalry forever. Also explains how they beat us the last three…oh wait.
December 8th, 2023 at 10:30 PM ^
Fucking cheaters
December 9th, 2023 at 8:49 AM ^
Don't you mean TCDS?
December 9th, 2023 at 11:15 AM ^
The C doesn't mean "cheaters" either.
December 8th, 2023 at 10:31 PM ^
oh won't someone please think about the players safety...
December 8th, 2023 at 10:31 PM ^
I haven't opened the link yet, but I'm pretty sure this is the biggest scandal in B1G history.
December 8th, 2023 at 10:31 PM ^
Brian Hartline gives it to you straight! He comes at you once! He’s there again twice! He’s not going to sneak away in the middle of the night in his stocking feet! In fact he’ll be there the next morning to make you breakfast and give it to you bro style — straight! He’s tough like the man he works for but he’ll have your back and he’ll be up in your grill all week don’t worry! Giving you the straight up TALK all week!
December 8th, 2023 at 10:31 PM ^
Death penalty. The players aren't safe.
December 8th, 2023 at 10:32 PM ^
So maybe OSU is going to start reaping their just rewards for hiring PIs to watch other schools and play the leak it to the press game....hate to see it happen to them, really heartbreaking.
NIL is fine, enticing players to go into the portal is fine, paying for hookers for visits, $800k for a recruiting visit, basically making up classes and grades, etc
* but an extra visit by a coach, a cheeseburger during a drop by visit during covid, these are hard lines in the sand that will create NCAA sanctions....FFS
December 8th, 2023 at 10:34 PM ^
Ryan Day had to know this was going on. The only sensible punishment is to require OSU to give him a guaranteed 10-year contract.
December 8th, 2023 at 10:38 PM ^
Yes, please! Give him a lifetime contract.
December 8th, 2023 at 11:08 PM ^
All your players are belong to us - definitely loss of institutional control.
December 9th, 2023 at 2:56 AM ^
Vicious.

Surely this is the biggest scandal in the history of college football.
December 8th, 2023 at 10:37 PM ^
That’s unsportsmanlike right?
Tony P will suspend Day right?
Is the Mizzou coach going to talk about this?
Can’t wait to see what SEC Shorts does with this news
December 8th, 2023 at 11:09 PM ^
They should not suspend Day without a thorough investigation…wait,,,,never mind.
December 8th, 2023 at 10:38 PM ^
Death penalty.
Thanks Day and OSU. Hiring PIs and “your coach cheated on a test in the 3rd grade!” will become the norm. We’re in an arms race to the gutter.
December 8th, 2023 at 10:39 PM ^
He was obviously visiting a different player at that title game. Duh
December 8th, 2023 at 10:39 PM ^
Hmmm, an OC committing a recruiting violation to keep the #1 player in the country in your class sure seems like a competitive advantage. I think the only logical decision is to suspend Ryan Day for 3 games
December 8th, 2023 at 10:59 PM ^
December 8th, 2023 at 11:59 PM ^
What does logic have to do with anything?
December 9th, 2023 at 12:34 AM ^
The conference needs to warn every single opponent as well. They also have to leak info to the media, make sure everyone talks behind their back on a conference call, and then make sure they suspend Ryan while they're flying but without actually telling them and just waiting until they see it on twitter or ESPN.
Then we can talk about vacating wins, but due process first, right?
December 8th, 2023 at 10:39 PM ^
Think about the player safety when he would get trampled by the dancing penguin, I mean Ryan Day.
December 8th, 2023 at 10:40 PM ^
Wait, other coaches do things to gain competitive advantage and do what it takes to win?!?!
December 8th, 2023 at 10:48 PM ^
They should penalize Cleveland State University so this doesn’t happen again.
December 8th, 2023 at 10:51 PM ^
When will this earth-shaking news make it onto ESPN?
December 8th, 2023 at 10:52 PM ^
Please please do not suspend Day for The Game next year - we need him on the sidelines…
December 8th, 2023 at 10:54 PM ^
BWHAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!! By Buckeye math the final score should have been more like 44-17? Since those types of violations are worth 21 points minimum.
December 8th, 2023 at 10:54 PM ^
Love Hartline. Here is a great speech he gave before last years game:
December 9th, 2023 at 8:29 AM ^
Off the main topic, I thought Kamryn Babb (yes, another one of these: https://247sports.com/Player/kamryn-babb-87724/high-school-162078/) did a nice public speaking job at the beginning of that video.
December 9th, 2023 at 8:52 AM ^
Well, I'm glad he developed a future in public speaking while at OSU, because he certainly didn't develop one in football.
December 9th, 2023 at 8:53 AM ^
Haha - they need to re-set their counter a third time now! Let's see, if they'd been "quietly working in the dark" for 365 days for that video, then assume another 365 before this year's game, by the time they see us again they'll have had over 1000 days in the dark. We're going to be playing against molemen!
December 8th, 2023 at 10:56 PM ^
Paging Tony Pettiti
December 8th, 2023 at 10:56 PM ^
hartline will not be able to put this tamperpaste back in the tube. this is kind of a big deal.
December 9th, 2023 at 3:03 AM ^
NCAA has moved on already. Nothing to see here folks.
December 8th, 2023 at 10:56 PM ^
I fear for the safety of players !!!!
December 8th, 2023 at 10:56 PM ^
Force OSU to let Ryan Day coach the next 3 UM/OSU games
December 8th, 2023 at 11:03 PM ^
...blindfolded. this is going to get ugly before it gets expunged.
December 8th, 2023 at 10:58 PM ^
I'm shocked there's gambling at Rick's!
December 8th, 2023 at 11:12 PM ^
TCDS....Those Cheaters Down South
December 8th, 2023 at 11:30 PM ^
These kind of competitive advantages must be investigated and summarily judged. Ohio should have to change football to only an intramural sport to prevent a reoccurrence. The horror...
December 8th, 2023 at 11:46 PM ^
Against Michigan, they play football like an intramural sport already.
December 8th, 2023 at 11:33 PM ^
I don’t really care but…
I do care that recruiting is far more important than stealing signs. Even if everyone takes multiple visits, a violation is a violation and the ADs should voice their outrage on a BIG conference call.
December 8th, 2023 at 11:51 PM ^
A conference call.
With all the Big Ten schools represented....except Ohio State.
Where their punishment is debated.....
And then decided by a committee with a majority of members representing Michigan and Penn State.
Amid a pervasive and constant anti-OSU media firestorm lasting weeks.
December 8th, 2023 at 11:41 PM ^
