I didn't expect anything less.  Typical buffoonery from tsio.  Really can't wait for the hammer to drop.  I have a friend who is (unfortunately) a big OSU booster, and he is convinced the Sandusky issue is going to help OSU, basically now Ohio committed the lesser of two evils and the Big 10 is going to want to hide the OSU situation so the whole conference doesn't look corrupt.  When you think about it, those in other conferences probably consider the BIG 10 as dirty as the SEC now, it's the sad reality.  First the Iowa practice-exhaustion issue, then OSU, then PSU... sorry but the Big 10 is dominating college football controversies right now thanks to OSU and PSU... we can thank them for tarnishing our name along with every other institution in this conference.

them say that when they are staring down a trip to the Pizza Bowl.  They may come down with a sudden case of the not that bowl-s if that situation arises.

A couple bowl projections have 6-6 Ohio in the Gator Bowl (assuming Insight will have their pick over Gator).   They will profit greatly from PSU's downfall.   

6-6 Purdue, 6-6 N'wester, 6-6 Ohio, 9-3 Tainted Lions.     For the Bowl with the highest pick it's a no brainer.

My post was based on bowl projections.   If the projections have merit then OSU will benefit from not banning itself from a high profile Gator Bowl or Meineke Bowl.   If they were like the 6-6 Miami Hurricanes and looking to a "Pizza Pizza" caliber bowl then they would ban itself

Media is all over the theory that PSU will be shoved down the pecking oder given the scandal.

The "downfall" is the scandal (not their on field play).

It would be great to see Ohio reach a tipping point where the media turns on them for their arrogance.  It might affect the NCAA infractions committee and cause them to actually ignore the friendship between Gordon Gee and Mark Emmert, resulting in actual punishment for Ohio.

Maintains they did nothing wrong, that Tressel did not cheat by not reporting ineligible players to be ineligible and then playing them in games, that everybody does it, and on and on and on.  Just a few bad kids sold some stuff they were given that they should not have, it's not major or anything.  Hey look at PSU, at least we don't allow kid molesting......

 

The b.s. continues.  Only one to survive will be Gee, because he is a huge fundraiser for TSIO.....

What a disgrace the OSU administration is.  I'm as fair and objective as you'll find.  I always try to factor my partisanship into any judgment/opinion to question my own objectivity.  But this is just incredible.  The insolence.  The complete and utter lack of contrition or sacrifice by the OSU administration is mind boggling.  Always conceding bare minimum out of entitled defiance.  OSU's administration are "the bad guys" period.

PIcture any villain you've ever seen in a movie where they believed because of their status and personal sense of entitlment they could and would walk all over everyone else around them.  Insert any high school bully here.  That's this administration.  Never admitting wrong until forced to.  Never conceding an inch until forced to.  Always putting themselves and their ability to maximize their position and minimize their penalties first.  Sickening.

Bad enough when it was just about the tattoos, cars, golf course jobs and Tressel lying, and OSU fooling the NCAA "on good faith they'll server their penalties next year" (unprecedented tomfoolery) to let the violators play in the bowl game last year, but now with how this administration has behaved, there is one thing I want more than UM beating OSU this weekend, and that's for the NCAA to make like Marty McFly and knock Biffy Buckeye the fuck out for several years.
