The program has a black eye. The "O How I Hate Ohio State" crowd has more ammo.<br /><br />The program needs to take what the hapless NCAA dishes out, be openly and honestly contrite, show butt-loads of class, and proceed to decimate the opposition on the gridiron, out of a sense of "us vs. them."<br /><br />The players on the field, the first (5) games of the season, will have a historic opportunity to "save the program."<br /><br />That is what I believe.kilt1ironnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5098065405028893513.post-17963405098140604162011-03-10T05:20:21.358-05:002011-03-10T05:20:21.358-05:00USC didn't lie to the NCAA?

...USC didn't lie to the NCAA? Are you on crack?<br /><br />They set up Reggie Bush and his family with a PHat house and cash, then denied it.<br /><br />That = lying<br /><br />Duh!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5098065405028893513.post-69297590350829831292011-03-09T14:39:05.764-05:002011-03-09T14:39:05.764-05:00STOP TALKING ABOUT INELIGIBLE PLAYERS.

He allowed players to play who MIGHT have been ruled ineligible had he revealed what he knew and had he been able to accurately divine how the NCAA would rule on said players.<br /><br />That's stretching credulity too far. He did not allow ineligible players to play. he withheld information about a potential violation involving his players. Hardly okay, but let's not muddy the waters here, the situation is messy enough as it is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5098065405028893513.post-47657878391238516122011-03-09T11:25:57.105-05:002011-03-09T11:25:57.105-05:00I am not so sure I agree with the less than what U...I am not so sure I agree with the less than what USC did. In the case of USC, there was never any allegations of coverup or lying to the NCAA. Here, Coach intentionally covered up this mess until the end of the season. Basically, he knowingly let ineligible players play. He can say that it was a grey area, but he knew what happened to Dez Bryant and A.J. Green. Coach cheated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
