Does Meyer know, guessing, or lying? What he told Dunn

Urban Meyer is a weasel

I bet that conversation was very similar to the one Kiffin had with Matt Barkley upon his arrival.

I'm starting to hate that school more and more everyday. I didn't think that was possible. Way to go, Urban.

Their pants are gold so they can hold their golden shit..

So go out and spread THIS on the interwebs.

Hopefully Dunn is smart enough to see past those lies...

OSU knows exactly what is going to happen to them (nothing) and I believe Meyer is being truthful when he says it. Two facts to consider:

1. Why would even take the jon unless he KNEW the fix was in?
2. Why would OSU take such a public stance of defiance unless they KNEW there would be no repercussions to their actions?

I defy anyone to find even one instance where OSU has faced anything resembling a consequence yet-and they won't.

I hope both of their coaching staffs suck eggs.

He wants to go to ohio.  He has been looking for a reason to do so all along.  So he chooses to believe whatever (likely cleverly and ambiguously stated) report he got from Meyer on the sanctions.  Let him go.  I don't recall a blue chip RB on the '97 National Champions, but I do recall a dominant defense.  Get us another CB or DL!

Pass the ether.  I need a break from everyday struggle.

Isn't this the same thing Lane Kiffen told Santreal Henderson before he committed to USC? 

How did that work out for him?

I have zero issue with Dunn. He was an Ohio commit to begin with. We didn't "have" him. We never had him. He was keeping his options open until he found out what was going to happen. UM gave him the answer he wanted to hear, and he re-committed. 

That UM knows the outcome is pretty unsettling. Yeah, I know life isn't fair, and all that. But if this is the case - that certain schools have the NCAA in their pocket, that the NCAA doesn't do its best to provide a level playing field, etc and so forth - then it's the NCAA that should be investigated. Or the NCAA needs to present itself to the college world in a more honest way, not as some impartial governing body that preserves sportsmanship and ethics in college sports. 

from the "over practicing" violations are almost on par with whatever OSU is going to be hit with - save for the eradication of 2010 from the record books.

How does this program not get MAJOR penalties? They've been lying and cheating for almost 10 years!!!! They should lose scholarships AND get at least a one-year bowl ban!

Can Meyer go after Michigan recruits from Ohio? Kali, Joe, and others? it's gonna get ugly if Meyer does that.

I may be mistaken, but I thought Dunn was going to be an early enrollee.  If so, Meyer's claims only need to hold up until Dunn starts classes, right?  After that, he's hooked even if it turns out not to be a true statement.

the self imposed penalty was pretty pathetic and I would be very surprised if the NCAA goes with it.  Even for as small as our penalty was they added on one more year of probation vs. 2 scholarships for about 3 years for Ohio.  Heads will roll if they accept OSU's self imposed sanctions.

and Gene Smith's background and influence with the compliance dept., there is essentially zero chance for anything other than a limp slap on the wrist for OSU. Meyer knows it, the players know it, the fans know it, and the media know it. To pretend otherwise is just a kabuki dance to give the impression that the NCAA is honestly examining things. If they can't figure out if anything's wrong down at Auburn, they sure as hell aren't going to take any real meaningful steps in Columbus.

Emmert is going to preside over the final end stages of the NCAA, at least with respect to it having any real influence on major college football. It's the wild, wild west, and anything goes.
