I doubt the NCAA will come down with the death penalty on The Ohio State, but it just seems more and more information is coming out. Now, Terrelle Pryor received 40K from somewhere, Tressel apparently knew a lot more than he already said? The NCAA could say there was a lack of institutional control. What do you all think? It just seems to be getting worse and worse.
they'll get hit hard, but it won't be SMU "Death Penalty" hard. That won't ever happen again, especially not to a team in the Big 10.
For the millionth time, a college program has to be a repeat violator within 5 years of the first violations to be facing the death penalty.
SMU got the death penalty because they had repeat violations after being hit by the NCAA.
And SMU actually had to repeat twice before they got it. OSU will get hit harder than USC though. This wasn't one guy. This was a whole program for about 10 years.Quote:

I could be wrong on that though.Quote:

The NCAA will have to prove that violations from the institution go back to 2002, which will likely be quite hard to do. I don't see the death penalty, but it is certainly going to suck for OSU football and perhaps even a few other sports when the NCAA is done with them.
Like Janny said, no program will ever face the death penalty again. If an "SMU" ever happens again, the involved program(s) will get hit with the most inflicting penalties without actually facing.Quote:

It can be between two different programs within one university. Though I believe if we ever do see the death penalty again, it will be by repeat violations of the same sport in a university.Quote:

I don't see the sanctions being any worse than they were with USC.
I don't think that we will be seeing Ohio State in a bowl game for at least 5 years. there will be a loss of scholarships as well.
they'll lose scholarships and probably will have some form of post season ban. It won't be 5 years though. I'd say 2. They're going to make this very similar to USC, imho.Quote:

They can't force anyone to speak with them or turn over evidence that is not covered by the Freedom of Information Act. This is going to limit the "proof" that they can get. On the other side, they're not bound by legal terms like "reasonable doubt" either, so they can dole out punishment without having that irrefutable proof.
