Ohio State vacates wins from 2010 football season

Dorian Bell is the unnamed player that was added to the tattoo gate list in the university response to the NCAA.

He was already suspended for the entire season by OSU, now he'll get a useless and redundant 5 games from the NCAA.

They should be forced to give back the revenue and payoff they received from playing in the sugar bowl for one.

[seofan_via_dublin]

The revenue goes to the conference, and then is split equally, so I guess we'll send a bill to the other 10 schools for over a million each!

Quit crying Peake. You sound like a 5 yr old crying to a teacher because a little girl made googly eyes at you!

Based on your philosophy, your own scUM would also lose money from the proceeds of OSU playing in the Sugar Bowl. And we all know that is probably the only way they are going to cash in from a BCS Bowl appearance.

[Peake]

Riiiight.

I guess Dubs.

The NCAA has outlived it's usefullness. Time to scrap it and create a new major college football entity.

Interesting email I received yesterday... Thought it was interesting to share.

Dear Michigan Fans:

We thank you for being our most loyal fans, spectators, and supporters. As a University of Michigan season ticket holder, a UM alumnus or a member of any booster organization, you are by NCAA definition a representative of UM’s athletics interests. UM is held responsible for anything you do related to UM’s prospects and/or our current student-athletes.

The NCAA has strictly limited the role you, as a Michigan Fan, may take with regard to prospects and student-athletes. The penalties for breaking those rules, whether by accident or intentional, can be severe. Any infraction will jeopardize a prospect or student-athletes opportunity to attend and compete for UM no matter how minor it may seem. In addition, you might expose UM to NCAA sanctions, and you could be disassociated from the program.

University of Michigan’s athletics programs value your continued support. The best message you can take from this information is to ask someone who is knowledgeable about NCAA rules before taking any action with a recruit or a student-athlete. The rules are complicated, and there are far too many to mention in this e-mail. Therefore, if you have any questions do not hesitate to contact the Compliance Services Office at (734)-615-7341 or by e-mail at [email protected].

GO BLUE!!!

Elizabeth Heinrich, Interim Chief of Compliance


The Top 10 Things Fans & Friends of Michigan Athletics Should Know:


1. ALWAYS ASK BEFORE YOU ACT! Breaking NCAA rules can render prospects and student-athletes ineligible for competition at the University of Michigan. The NCAA holds the University of Michigan accountable for the actions of its fans and friends.

2. You MAY NOT make recruiting contacts with prospects, their relatives or legal guardians. A prospective student-athlete is a student who has started classes for the ninth grade (7th grade for Men’s Basketball) or above. This prohibition includes written and telephone communications.

3. You MAY NOT contact a prospect’s coach, principal, or counselor in an attempt to evaluate the prospect.

4. You MAY send newspaper clippings and other information about talented prospects to the Michigan coaching staff. Also, you MAY continue established relationships with friends and neighbors whose children are prospects or current student-athletes, provided the relationship pre-dates reaching prospect status and is not based on their status as an athlete.

5. You MAY attend high school or junior college competitions provided no contact occurs with the prospect or the prospect’s relatives.

6. You MAY NOT entertain any coach from a junior or senior high school, preparatory school, or junior college or provide them with tickets or any other type of benefit.

7. You MAY NOT become involved in arranging for a prospect, a Michigan student-athlete or their family to receive gifts, money or financial benefits of any kind.

8. You MAY NOT provide transportation to a prospect, student-athlete or their friends and family. Also, you MAY NOT spend funds to entertain prospects, student-athletes or their friends and family.

9. You MAY employ a student-athlete provided you are paying them only for the work they actually perform, paying the going rate for similar services, are not paying them or providing perks based on their status as a student-athlete and the employment has been approved by the Compliance Services Office.

10.You MAY NOT use a photo or name of a student-athlete for commercial purposes or sell student-athlete memorabilia.

Thank You For Your Support!

espn keeps comparing it to USC. But I don't think they compare at all. Bush and his family gets set up pretty well to go play at USC by trustee's. A couple idiots trade some things to get tat's. The big screw up was Coach T not reporting right away. I can see the NCAA giving out a few more penelties, but should fall way short of USC. Which then I could see the roof blowing off espn

[seofan_via_dublin]

USC fought, kicking and screaming with the NCAA for nearly 4 years. They were silent, and didn't cooperate at all.

OSU, once they became aware of Tressel's actions, was an oPen book towards the NCAA.

This is what will keep them from getting hit like USC.

[dazed&confused]

I hope you are right dub's. If not, the NCAA has just provided a reason for a University to not cooperate...

EXACTLY! Tread lightly!
