They'll get hit hard just like Auburn ... oh, wait. Nevermind.

Read this on another site, and I agree:

"The biggest thing they found was that Ohio State's insistence that this was a small issue is simply untrue and that there has been a systematic breakdown of supervision for a decade, as it relates to this tattoo/party place of interest.

It's one sweep up after another and the fact that the number of players involved is roughly five times more than first reported is going to be a problem."

tOSU is going to get hammered by the NCAA. There will never be another death penalty, but the Buckeyes are going to get hit hard. Just watch.

I think they will get at least as hard, but more likely harder then USC. The NCAA occasionally hits a big boy school pretty hard and I think they will do it this time.

I'm in, baby!!!!

Uh, maybe we should determine the definition of "hammered?"

Here's what USC received in football (not counting Bush-specific stuff):

• A postseason ban in football following the 2010 and 2011 seasons.

• A loss of 30 total football scholarships over the 2011, 2012 and 2013 seasons.

• Four years of probation.

I predict tOSU will get hit with at least 3 years/no bowl, and at least 30 schollies over 3 years. Probably more. They will probably also get at least 4 years probation. Anything =/> the above constitute a "hammering?"

See, but I think the OSU situation is way worse than USC. How bout we say:

- a postseason ban in football following the 2010, 2011, and 2012 seasons.

- a loss of 40 ships over the next four years

- five years probation.

I really think it should be worse than this.

Let's say 3 year bowl ban. 40 ships, and 4 years. Don't think they'll do 5.

Not to interrupt your friendly wager....but I have a question.

How does the 30 scholarships in 3 years penalty actually work? Does this just mean that the team can only have 75 players on scholarship (instead of 85--if that's the number?) each of those 3 years? Or is it cumulative....? Such that they'd be down to 55 scholarship players by the 3rd year?

If it's just 10 players under the max, per year, that seems WAY too soft a penalty when you consider that the penalties that the NCAA hands out for low APR scores routinely hit 5 scholarships/year for the "little sisters of the poor".

Also, probation is a BS penalty to hand out. What does that even accomplish?

Your on.

I have a feeling that neither of us will have to pay this bet until after bowl season this year.

Oh, and I obviously meant bowl bans after the 2011, 2012, and 2013 seasons. I'm sure you knew what I meant, but I just feel the need to clarify the fine print.

And, if punishment doesn't come until after the 2011 bowl season, we just bump the 3 year ban back a year.

      Sonny Dykes predicts future split among P4, G5 schools: 'Alabama and La Tech aren't playing the same sport'

      Plus, more financial differentiation might only accelerate the rate at which top G5 players transfer up to play at P4 institutions. “These jobs are even harder now because if one of your players has a great season, he’s probably getting plucked away,” Dykes said. “Your only chance is to build a great culture and hope that keeps most of your roster intact.” And for Morris, the question then becomes about keeping the G5 teams relevant and thriving if they’re more formally in the second class of college football nationwide. link: https://www.on3.com/news/sonny-dykes-predicts-future-split-among-p4-g5-schools-alabama-and-la-tech-arent-playing-the-same-sport/

      Morris signals it is over

      I can see how it looks similar, but I would say that with today's landscape, it's a different world. It's one thing playing against schools with larger budgets, but when you start having your best players picked off year after year when they can get paid, it adds a variable that Dickey or other coaches in the past never had to deal with. He did not have to deal with the fact that schools could pay players to be practice squad members more than most G5s can afford to pay players.

      Because you aren’t saying it is difficult to compete, you are saying you have zero chance. It is the same as Dickey saying “I hope President Bataille remembers how much we are getting paid for this game when she looks up at the scoreboard tomorrow.”

      You've heard of Hook 'em, Gig 'em, Wreck 'em, Sic'em, what about...

      I remember that! I still say “Scrap ‘Em”. I thought it has always been a thing.

      Morris signals it is over

      You know it’s not just the Portal and NIL. I have never seen the traffic on gmg so anemic and I’ve been coming here since the 1990’s. Now, not to say the Portal and NIL haven’t had a huge negative impact but when you add the turmoil and uncertainty with what’s happening in our nation and around the world it’s forcing many to adjust their priorities. With that being said, maybe, just maybe people will turn out in masses on Saturdays if for no other reason than to just seek some kind of normalcy, an attempt to try and convince oneself that all is ok, nothing’s changed…..see the band is playing, the fans are cheering as the players take the field.
