TT: Request for Analysis of Major NCAA Bylaws Violations
On this website you can search cases of NCAA violations using a variety of factors, like which violation or even keywords: https://web1.ncaa.org/LSDBi/exec/miSearch. It's pretty cool.
If there are any MGoBlogers out there with extra time and an interest in seeing how Tresselgate could/should go down, an analysis of similar situations would be awesome. A diary of it would be worth paying for.
[edit] - OSU should be looking at violations for: (1) failure to report knowledge of violations; (2) unethical conduct; (3) failure to monitor; (4) ineligible participation; and (5) failure to withold ineligible student-athletes from competition. They could be looking at: lack of institutional control it those emails were forwarded (which seems to be the case from Tressel's "uh-huh" response to the reporter's question before Smith shut him up).

How does this hypothetical list of violations compare to what Michigan got hit with over the Webber/Traylor affair? I seem to recall we got hit with (3) as well as the ever popular "Lack of Institutional Control". Not sure if the others were applied to us and we still got the hammer brought down pretty hard.
While the Tat5 violation seems pretty small potatoes compared to Webber, Traylor, Bullock, etc. it's the failure to report and ethical conduct that looks so much worse than how Michigan handled their business. I can't believe that the NCAA is going to take OSU's tepid self-imposed sanctions and leave it at that.

Have they said this specifically? I thought a ruling would come out later directly from the NCAA?
That's exactly what the Ed Martin Fiasco looked like before the feds got involved.
