OMG!! HOW is Ohio State going to be able to compete?????

You don't understand the impact of losing three scholarships and not being able to reap the money from bowl games, do ya?

they'll be fine....

Plus they fired a very successful coach, plus they vacated their 2010 season and their payout from the trip to the Sugar Bowl. It's hard to see that as mild punishment.

Compared with Auburn, which paid a Heisman Trophy winner six figures and was punished with...uh...a national championship.

The AlumClub will cover the expenses

I'm pretty much done with college sports until they start treating it for what it is, a pro sports developmental league. The Shoe holds a frickin 102,000 fannies. That's more people than live in the city I live in. And their mascot is a fucking nut.

I hate 'em.

Vacating the wins is meaningless.

I don't see trading Jim Tressel for Urban Meyer as much of a hardship.

They should be forced to rehire Tressel so they can lose to an SEC team in the BCS every year.

didnt i just read that they are also being prohibited from competing in football next season?

At least you're not a bitter small city boy.

.

Which happens first, Meyer yearns to be with his family again? or his health gives out?

"Every year" = twice.

Eh, close enough.

Just gives us a year to break in a new coach and build a team without the pressure of a bowl game. We can still beat Michigan and win the Big Ten. For any first year coach at Ohio State, that's enough.

There. FYP. Well, skewed it actually... nonetheless, for Ohio State - it's a loss of $18m for Sugar Bowl 2010/11 and the loss of $10-18m for the next Bowlstravaganza. And 3 kids. Wow! How'd you like to be 2011 USC - with a very talented team and a great year - paying for Reggie Bush 6 years ago? Ahhhhh, amateur athletics! Such a deal!

Exactly, and the thoughts of every other talking head sportscaster....which is the reason for this thread in the first place....eh Luke?

A mere spank on da wrist....Meyer recruits for a year, hits it hard in 2013, its not like the cupboard is bare.

Maybe this Michigan vs OS game will be competitive again.....

Didn't Urban Meyer cry at a press conference after losing to LSU 21-17 in 2005?
