    So "he only lied to the media" is going to be the new "they were only selling trinkets".  Cool.

    Oh that was that stupid puny little minor bullsh*t crime of the century, the:

    "Tats for brats and trinkets for cash" almost as bad as Watergate or Iran contra. Yes guys were getting cheap tattoos for autographs and selling gold pants pins for a few hundred bucks (how ironic, bucks).

    It's always the storytelling and cover ups that get you! But the BUCKEYES made out alright with The Urban Renewal Project......so far.

    GO BUCKEYES, #1 baby!

    Well..............who is it:  was it the North Carolina basketball team, or the football team where a bunch of them sold the Nike Jordan's they were all given.

    I guess that is the thing about the NCAA rules.   You are given something...it is yours to keep, but it is not yours to sell?

    EXCEPT.....and I heard this on the radio.....Scholarship athletes, as part of their scholarships  are give FREE textbooks for their classes....but you know what the are allowed to do?  They are, apparently, allowed to sell those textbooks back to the SCHOOL bookstore for cash that they can pocket at the end of the semester.

    And I think anyone here can tell you that the cost of all new textbooks is a lot more than even Jordan Nike's or a few trinkets.  But yet, they seem to be allowed to do that  (or else the school/NCAA the entire college world turns a blind eye to that)

    Almost flies in the face of all common sense, logic, normal behavior even on the edge of basic laws, definitions  and rules of gift giving itself. Sort of when is a gift not really a gift.

    gift

    n. the voluntary transfer of property (including money) to another person completely free of payment or strings while both the giver and the recipient are still alive. Large gifts are subject to the federal gift tax, and in somestates, to a state gift tax while both the giver and the recipient are still alive. Large gifts are subject to the federal gift tax, and in somestates, to a state gift tax. .

    But when you have the NCAA involved.....

  • Busy day

  • Urban Meyer to miss three games without pay. OK circus is over.....I hope.

  • Circus is not over. A half measure punishment was the worst thing they could have done.

    And people are already tearing apart the committees report.

    I’ll repeat this for the snowflakes that might read this,  this is not like anything that has happened to date. The incidents did not involve Meyer,  meyer didn’t do anything illegal,  it did not happen on Ohio state property.  Where he knew or not does not matter. 

    Let's also point out this is objectively wrong too. Title IX in this case would have required Urban to report abuse, and new reporting also dictates his contract stated as much too. Unless you think Meyer is above federal law, you're just plain incorrect.

    If Urban knew and didn't report, he should and will be fired. Period.

    Your just wrong title 9 only applies to employees.  Also what was there to know he knew about the incidents told gene, gene went to the Powell pd no charges filed nothing to report unless it’s crimenal there is nothing here it’s none of anyone’s business

    Right....they should have given out NO punishment.  Report said he did nothing wrong....except lie to the media.  Like I have always said, it was just a PR gaffe.    College HCs lie to the media just about every time they open their mouths.   I guess the only question is: what do they lie about.  Nick Saban says that he does not know who his starting QB is going to be in their opening game. Everyone knows that is a lie.  Of course he knows.  So, like I said, is it just a matter of which subject the lie is being told about.

    Actually.....in re Title IX.....the report says that it was the Title IX officer (who got the info from the Campus police....who got the info from the Columbus police)  who told  AD Smith about the allegations...and AD Smith told Meyer.

    Now...what was Meyer to do to comply?  Turn around and tell the AD and the Title IX officer the same stuff that he was just told by them? 

  • it should have been all or nothing at all it's a really bad look for the bucks,of course something worse will come along and it will be forgotten about

  • I like their title odds now. Angry team. RIP Big 10.

    TCU isn't that bad and before they play PSU. 

    The distraction and media blah-blah-blah is always the worst part.

    I'm guessing you're not familiar with the term "I like their odds"....

    Also not sure what the second part had to do w my comment.

    TCU, I don't think, is a patsy by any means.  They have been one of the best teams in the Big 12 the last decade.  

    In the last decade they have ended up ranked in the Top Ten   6 times!!:

    2008  7th

    2009 6th

    2010 2d

    2014 3rd

    2015 7th

    2017 9th 

    This is in the entire nation.

    And the game is in the AT&T Dome in Arlington TX....a home game for them.

    If Ohio State is not on their game they could get whipped.

    " I like their odd's" I am familiar with the phrase I was just saying their odd's have not changed so I guess I have no idea what you meant to gip  I believe The BUCKS D will destroy tcu and their pass happy O  from a weak butt big 12 

  • He shouldn't have received any punishment.  But they will still kick University of Michigans butt.

    Lol no, if you're too ignorant to understand then dont write for god's sake. He absolutely had to report if it wasnt already reported. As it turns out the title IX coordinator informed them of the report and as such he didn't have to. If that was not the case and he didn't report, he would have been fired. 

    But what do I know, I'm just graduated educated working directly in his field. Shmuck me right?

    The report gave a good number of reasons they could have fired Meyer. They took 11 hours to come up with "the meds made him forget". Hell, the report basically says Meyer destroyed evidence. 

    OSU was dragged through the mud with this and it might not be over

  • The worst part about the whole punishment was the presser.  Meyer seemed like a 12 year old who's parents told him to read an apology before his 6th grade class.  It came off as being a nuisance more than anything, which isn't surprising considering he's a successful college football coach.  Again what is most disheartening are the number of OSU fans already rationalizing his behavior.  #MOSUGA
