All I can say is if what we are witnessing in Columbus and at whOregon, Auburn and Tennessee isn't "lack of institutional control", I don't know how that charge could ever be leveled against anyone. It's appalling, and really, nobody cares or thinks its all that bad apparently.
Mafia, I bet Phil Knight could walk up to you and write you a check so large you would denounce Marshall and wear wvu gear for a week. To say otherwise would denote your real name is William Wallace or require an MRI, which he'd pay for.
However...I do think you'll see some MAJOR objectioning from the PAC-12. USC is looking at this issue very seriously and carefully.
The evidence is all there folks. There is no denying Tressel ran a real bad program. No denying it lasted for over 8 years and even 2 schools. No denying the comments made from ohio state that they supported that type of behavior.
USC had 1 player and 4 years with less convincing evidence...the only reason why USC got hit hard was because they didn't actually get a chance to fire Pete Carroll vs his very sudden departure.
Oregon's coach is responsible for what happened there. The smart thing is to simply tell the truth. The school won't get hammered as much and if they do...well, thank you all for buying the new Nike Marshall apparrel helpin out Oregon...and if you're buying Under Armour...alright then. Your fincances wouldn't even make a dent in Nike's revenue.
I don't know the situation at Tennessee unless it's strictly Bruce Pearl's whole fiasco.
If Meyer went to ohio state then he'd be deemed a liar since his health would "miraculously improve" and "not have any more issues." Which would be a nice fit, since their coaches and staff are all liars.
Seriously, I think he's going to be like Jon Gruden who's shaping his carer like Mike Huckabee,
"I'm thinking about coming back. I have a huge announcement to make! CANNON BALL! Oh yeah, I'm not coming back to coach, or run for president, whatever."
I must admit, this whole thing has shocked me. It's shocked me because I truly thought the NCAA was ultimately going to side with the best overall winner in college football. That would be the SEC. They win on the field and make a ton of money. They don't make the most right now, but if the NCAA ultimately chose to abandon the Big Ten for the love of the SEC then surely, the NCAA would've certainly endorsed that conference so much it'd eventually hog the national spotlight and be the most of everything and honesrly, what could the Big Ten do!? Their brand of football is boring and.when compared to the SEC and even PAC 12, they look like dog$hit.
The NCAA is really making enemies here...the supposed strongest group is not goin to disband if the NCAA doesn't hit them, the Big Ten, but everyone else might split. The most exciting brands of football will leave the love affiar of the NCAA and Big Ten.
Finally, mafia, you're treating this like a new invested set of stocks. Stop watching the ticker seemingly religiously...it'll freak you out with every little change possible.
While is is a forecast for bad weather ahead, bad meaning BS nothing happening, it certainly isn't set in stone. The NCAA has ample time to hear the backlash from the preview of what we COULD see and thus, change up entirely, what we WILL see.
Keep your head up and hope the NCAA comes to their senses!
PS
Read an interesting tidbit,
Stanford and Penn State, only two BCS programs to never be charged with a major violation.
