You're Not Helping: Cooper Claims Compliance Was Aware of Violations

In something straight out of the Bizarro episode of Sealab 2021 (yeah, what other blog are you going to get that reference?), former coach John Cooper claims Ohio State's Compliance Department must have been aware of violations and did nothing about it:

“Compliance is not doing their job when this kind of stuff happens and they act like they don’t know about it. When I was coaching over there, compliance was around everywhere. It’s almost like they were trying to find us violating a rule."

Dear Ohio State: You're doing it wrong.

Edit: Come to think of it, this kind of looks like John Cooper

Because he and his compliance staff were so good at facilitating cheating while at the same time self reporting thousands of minor violations that nothing came up.  It would have come out with Geiger at the helm, of course, had Clarett answered the NCAA.

With his whole record against Michigan and now this, I am starting to think that Coop was a Michigan plant. 

This whole saga is insane.  I am proud to say that in my life, I NEVER derived happiness from the suffering of others.  I am even more proud to say that that whole philosophy changed when this story started to break.  I can't remember anything sports-related bringing me as much happiness as this.
