Dude, stop bringing logic to the conversation.

The fact that the NCAA continues to accept the "I didn't know" card is baffling.  Like these OSU kids didn't know they couldn't peddle their #$!@, do these dudes live in a bubble?  They didn't hear about Dez and AJ Green getting suspended.  Yeah *%#!$++ right.

Cam still being eligible after his dad committed that violation is still

.  It's alright Cam didn't know,

"I'm sorry officer NCAA, I didnt know I couldnt do that."

[h1]USC football: NCAA appeal hearing set for Jan. 22, Pat Haden says[/h1]
December 23, 2010 |  2:35pm

USC's hearing before the NCAA's Infractions Appeals Committee will take place Jan. 22 in Indianapolis, Athletic Director Pat Haden said Thursday.

USC is appealing sanctions handed down last summer that included a two-year bowl ban and the reduction of 30 scholarships over three years. The school was penalized, in part, because Reggie Bush and his parents were found to have accepted prohibited extra benefits from agents and would-be sports marketers. Bush's stepfather also helped set up a fledgling sports marketing venture.

Haden; USC President Max Nikias; David Roberts, the school's vice president for athletic compliance; and the university's legal representatives are expected to attend the hearing.

USC's hearing will come approximately four weeks after the second of two controversial NCAA decisions this month.

The NCAA announced Thursday that five of six Ohio State football players who violated preferential-treatment bylaws would be suspended for the first five games of the 2011 season but that all of the players would be allowed to participate in the Jan. 4 Sugar Bowl against Arkansas.

The announcement came three weeks after the NCAA determined that Auburn quarterback Cam Newton was eligible despite the fact that his father broke NCAA rules for his role in a pay-for-play scenario when his son was being recruited from a junior college. Cam Newton later won the Heisman Trophy and will lead Auburn against Oregon in the Bowl Championship Series title game on Jan. 10.

Haden said after the Newton ruling that it was at odds with how USC's beefed-up compliance department was trying to educate athletes and their parents regarding NCAA rules. He also said that school attorneys probably would review the case.

Haden said he did not know enough about the Ohio State situation to comment.

"I'm just worried about us," he said. "It's a just reminder of the constant vigilance you must have."

I'm an OSU fan... smh at NCAA. Those 5 that are suspended should have been suspended immediately. It's all about that Sugar Bowl money though.

Womp womp

 

 
Going off what happened with the steroid ring in fall '07, I thought this wouldn't sit either. I stand corrected

edit- The NCAA reinstated the athletes for the Sugar Bowl on the basis that the athletes "did not receive adequate rules education during the time period the violations occurred," said Kevin Lennon, NCAA vice president of academic and membership affairs, in the release.


Money talks

Pryor got bent because Herbstreit gave an an analysis of the Buckeyes that wasn't to Pryors liking.  They ended up winning the game and Pryor tweeted something along the lines that no one believed in them and specifically called out Herbie, calling him a fake Buckeye.  Mind you he tweeted in backwards bamma english.

So Herbie is now roasting this clown.

NCAA doesn't suspend them for the Bowl game because the Bowl game is a "unique experience for the players" and the players didn't know "it was wrong to sell the items."

If that is true, then why do they punish players by banning a school from Bowl games for violations done by someone in the past? ex. Reggie Bush. Take away his Heisman and take away the bowl game wins, and take away all the stuff from the past. But don't punish the current players and banning them from Bowl games. Bowl games are a unique experience... right?

Also, the excuse that they did not know it was wrong to sell the items because they thought the items belong to them... please... its not like them selling books or their old ipods on ebay. they knew they could get a larger amount of money because what the items represented, especially Pryor. I'm sure in the back of their minds, they knew it could be wrong to do so. if they had any doubts, they should have confirmed it with their coach or the school reps.

Tressell needs to do the right thing and bench his players. If not for the whole Bowl game, at least half of it.

Didn't Dez get a season for eating a salad at Primes house? Lol

Navy finally scored 

Now if they can just get SD off the field without giving up points.

But Pryor calling Herbie a "fake buckeye" is cool? TP needs to zip it as well... he #!@%+% up.

I haven't heard the interview but why shouldn't Herbie go off on TP for messing up the Buckeye's upcoming season? There are two sides to be mad at here. NCAA sucks, no doubt. But these players messed up too, right?

Herbie is just doing his job though. And voicing his opinion. It's a radio interview and he gave a candid response. I applaud Herbie for being one of the few ESPN personalities who isn't completely biased towards their school/alma mater. At least he's objective.

 

[gunna get it]

that was totally biased towards his school

he was completely in alumni/feelings hurt Im gonna lash out now mode.

he wasnt going off on just the selling of items. shoulda listened first.

My only problem with it is that he's jumping to conclusions when he said he doesn't know TP2 personally. I like Herbie like you said, dude doesn't let his Buckeye ties get in the way of doing an analyst job.
