Edit. The NCAA has hit them with the Failure to Monitor.

English, mother fucker! Do you speak it?

"Ohio State officials have insisted that the athletic compliance program directed by Doug Archie is “cutting edge” and among the best in the nation." Hardy-har-har. You can't write better comedy that that.

I haven't taken a journalism class, but perhaps its common to end a collumn with a funny joke?
November 10th, 2011 at 3:57 PM ^
"cutting edge" compliance program... OSU has now become the blueprint for self-policing.
November 10th, 2011 at 8:17 PM ^
"DiGeronimo also brought meals to the football coaching staff once a week." and "Tressel saw DiGeronimo attempting to hide in a locker to listen to Tressel’s pre-game speech."
I/m sorry, this guy is a loser.

I'm still hoping that the NCAA slaps a bowl ban on them, but I will take a scholarship reduction. As long as the Buckeyes face actual penalties I will be pleased.
November 10th, 2011 at 3:39 PM ^
Anyone else wondering that the timing of this announcement is a PR move to have this hidden amongst the PSU infamy?
November 10th, 2011 at 3:40 PM ^
And it's a good one on their part.
November 10th, 2011 at 3:40 PM ^
Is that 5 schlarships/year for 3 years or a total of 5 scholarships during a 3 year period?
November 10th, 2011 at 4:44 PM ^
5 total per the c-bus dispatch
November 10th, 2011 at 3:41 PM ^
In all honesty I just can't muster the same disgust that I used to over this Ohio scandal. Penn State has marginalized all that is wrong with college athletics.
November 10th, 2011 at 3:41 PM ^
typical OSU.
November 10th, 2011 at 3:52 PM ^
this is only about the charity event payoffs, has nothing to do with tattoos, cars or the other stuff.
November 10th, 2011 at 3:56 PM ^
well it is about time.
November 10th, 2011 at 4:09 PM ^
NOA I get.
November 10th, 2011 at 4:19 PM ^
Does everything need an abbreviation?
November 10th, 2011 at 4:36 PM ^
Huh, go figure. Who would have thought that the OSU athletic department might have a monitoring issue? Those folks at the NCAA are always right on top of it!
November 10th, 2011 at 4:50 PM ^
And to think, I was fearing the story was over. Nope.
THE SEQUEL!!!!
Gittin' ta poppin' 'n lets watch th' botchin'!

I'm at work, on IE something.... relatively new, it has tabs. But the thread background is blue, not white, all the comments wont show, and there is a comment with just no content/name/anything
November 10th, 2011 at 5:37 PM ^
Fine on App at home.
<br>
<br>Wish I was kidding about the time thing and checking the site.
November 10th, 2011 at 5:18 PM ^
OSU just trying to facepalm behind the State college news for their FTM policies. Not a great week for the Big Ten. Hopefully we win on Saturday.
November 10th, 2011 at 6:02 PM ^
ohio may not need to reduce their schollies cuz they might not get enough kids to fill a class
November 10th, 2011 at 6:07 PM ^
It's a good start, but I'm still waiting on a two-year bowl ban before I feel satisfied.
November 10th, 2011 at 6:16 PM ^
How nice of us to help them out with their Scholarship reduction by taking Kyle Kalis.
November 11th, 2011 at 2:28 AM ^
Let's take Dunn next.
November 10th, 2011 at 6:18 PM ^
I would love to read those emails the ohio has a death grip on. I hope ESPN wins and spills the beans. "Hey Jim, did you know TP is getting free tattoos and free unlimited miles test drives with new cars?" "Its part of the deal for him coming to ohio but dont tell the NCAA that."
November 10th, 2011 at 6:53 PM ^
And Boom Goes the Dynamite!!!
November 10th, 2011 at 7:28 PM ^
Anyone? Ace?
November 10th, 2011 at 7:41 PM ^
Sucks for the walkons that won't be awarded scholarships the next 3 years. Total BS
November 11th, 2011 at 6:26 AM ^
Hiding in a locker to hear Tressel give a pregame speech? Sounds like a John Hughes movie
<br>
November 11th, 2011 at 11:14 AM ^
DiGeronimo was one of a group of outsiders who had access to Ohio State's locker room on game days, a practice that coach Jim Tressel stopped after taking the job, according to the NCAA report.
After that ban, Tressel caught DiGeronimo trying to hide in a locker to listen to Tressel's pregame speech and ordered him and another individual out of the locker room, the report said.
What a looser.
