    If I remember correctly, OSU could have self imposed the bowl ban the year before when they went 6-6, but Gene Smith chose not to. I think he thought they were bullet proof.

    It is also hard to praise the transparency of the athletic department when the issue surrounded a coach lying to the NCAA.

    OSU offered to self impose the bowl ban but the NCAA kind went "meh" until they threw down their own little gauntlet.

    One coach lying to the NCAA hardly befits the narrative that the athletic department wasn't "transparent". I'll also give Tressel this credit, once the emails were out there - he fully cooperated. Again, this in stark contrast to what you see/saw at USC and Miami with allegations that make what happened at tOSU look like nothing.

    He fully cooperated after he got caught lying? Hard to give Tressel any benefit of the doubt with the track record he had before that.

    Gipper, the punishment for the players caught selling stuff was their suspensions. Which got waived for the Biwl Game and some just left without having to sit out.

    I agree though, the SEC does much worse stuff on a daily basis.

    Well, they would have probably had like a one game suspension for that.....which could have been served at some point in the season.

    There would have been no bowl ban for that. Tressel not being forthcoming got the bowl ban.

    I understand the bowl ban resulted from Tressel lying.

    I thought the players suspensions were 4 games starting the next season?

    I don't recall what they were....but 4 games would have been absurd. For selling or trading your own property for very little?

    The rule is dumb, but rules are rules. I agree with you, they should be able too. But there is no grey area there. And they got to play in the bowl game, so they probably extended it to make up for it

    Didn't Dez Bryant lose an entire season for something even dumber?
