NCAA accuses Ohio State Buckeyes coach Jim Tressel of lying to hide violations - College Football News | FOX Sports on MSN

I'm shocked!
I will be more shocked if the NCAA actually drops the hammer on a school like OSU.
Me too, but hopefully it gets to the point they can't help but do so.Quote:

The NCAA dropped the hammer on USC...they can do it with Ohio State
Iowa fans everywhere are rejoicing. Their era of being Ohio St's ***** may finally be over. That being said, if the NCAA does drop the banhammer on OSU, Iowa beating OSU may not really mean much anymore, outside of kicking someone while they're down, which is something the Hawkeyes do very well in the first place...
The so-called "hammer" that was dropped on USC:Quote:

No cases in which a major violation has been negotiated back to a minor. These are all majors and there will likely be s how-cause for Tressle. My guess? Urban Meyer will be coaching the Buckeyes when this is all said and done. If you're OSU and you can most certainly get Urban Meyer right now, you save face, fire Tressel, and hire him.Quote:

NCAA dropped the hammer on SMU, USC got a slap to the face.Quote:

Do you mean a preemptive strike? Cut Tressel loose before the NCAA forces OSU to fire him?Quote:

The NCAA could accept Ohio State's suggestion of sanctions - the five-game suspension and the fine - or could levy much more severe penalties. Since the NCAA says that Tressel knowingly used ineligible players, it would seem probable that the 2010 regular season would be vacated - ending the Buckeyes' run of Big Ten titles at six in a row. The NCAA could also come down hard on Tressel, compelling Ohio State to add to Tressel's suspension or issue sanctions leading to the school firing him.
Actually, here's the reason why he won't be canned:Quote:
