I never thought I would type that.

When discussing the NCAA's decision to suspend 5 Ohio State players for the first five games NEXT year, he started railing on the hypocrisy of the NCAA's suspensions.

If Pryor played in the SEC, NO way he plays in the Sugar Bowl. If DeVar Posey was at Boise State, absolutely no way they allow him to play.
AJ Green didnt get to pick and choose his suspension, Dez Bryant was out half a season for lying to investigators, but the Big 10 is the NCAA's golden child. No way they would even fathom having those kids miss the Sugar Bowl.

Let me ask yall this; if Ryan Mallet did this, would he get to play in the Sugar Bowl?


Apparently, the tOSU kids gave away signed memorabilia for tattoos.

Well, I think they should be suspended for the bowl game. However, Cam Newton does play in the SEC...

ahh i knew that was coming, but since its never been proven yet that Cam took anything at Auburn, he is completely eligible regardless of at what happened at MSU.

but to be honest, if Penn State did it I bet they would have suspended their players for the bowl anyway.

but as we all know, tOSU is the NCAAs golden goose.
Mo Clarett? No way Alabama has a player say that kinda stuff, have receipts, and not get busted hardcore.

[Biggin]

the ACC is in the same boat;
if this happened at VT or FSU, I guarantee those kids are out for the bowl game.

[LBU]

I know nothing has came out about Cam. Just thought I'd throw that in there.

There is no doubt in my mind that O$U is a dirty program and I'm sure if the NCAA dug a little deeper they would find a lot of violations. But we both know that isn't going to happen.

And you're right if something like that happened at PSU they would have been suspended and so far in Coach Paterno's doghouse they probably would never see the light of day again.

Here is the O$U press release.

I agree, tOSU is ran like an SEC program but gets an inordinate amount of love from the NCAA. The cheating scandal, Andy Katzenmoyer, Mo Clarett, and now this.

but the NCAA pays really close attention to the down South schools, especially those with, um.,, torrid pasts haha.

I forgot to add, thats one thing that PSU fans and SEC fans alike can enjoy; sh1tting on tOSU. Penn State has had GREAT success against the SEC historically whereas tOSU has none.

LBU, do you root for tOSU in bowl games? Will you be rooting for them over Arkansas?
