  • If this is a major violation you can bet that there will be a smoking crater in Columbus.

    Isn't this old news, being attributed to only secondary violations earlier in the day?

    I hope they never get rid of Meyer. He and his staff are the real golden geese, and will bring more sanctions.

  • I doubt there are any major violations. But at what point will the NCAA do a double take on secondary violations? Do they need a 100 before they start worrying about it?

    Yes, Smith and OSU released this earlier today.....(also includes comments from B10 on this situation)

    There are 12 secondary NCAA issues being processed by the athletics compliance office. These are similar to those released last week. All are secondary in nature and consistent with the department’s culture of self-reporting all issues.

    Football – The compliance office approved the use of mini basketballs during a football winter conditioning workout.

    Men’s Gymnastics – The practice activities of a gymnastics alum were publicized.

    Institutional – Two baseball prospective student-athletes arrived on campus for official visits before being placed on the request list.

    Institutional – Athletics financial aid agreements were issued to three prospective student-athletes without being signed by the financial aid director.

    Football – A former assistant football coach had an inadvertent contact or “bump” with a prospective student-athlete.

    Field Hockey – A former assistant coach sent an email to a prospective student-athlete believing that she was a 2013 high school graduate.

    Men’s Tennis – A high school football coach and friend of the tennis program’s head coach stopped by the tennis training facility unannounced with an assistant coach and four prospective student-athletes during a dead period.

    Baseball – A prospective student-athlete in grade 12 registered and showed up for an Ohio State camp for participants in grades 9-11 even though he was told he was not eligible to compete at the camp. A t-shirt was given to the individual to defuse the situation when he got upset that he couldn’t compete.

    Baseball – A prospective student-athlete received a complimentary admission to a home baseball game during a dead period.

    Women’s Hockey – A former assistant coach inadvertently sent an email to a 2014 prospective student-athlete when the prospect was mistakenly entered into the recruiting data base by the previous coaching staff as a 2013 graduate.

    Football – The program understood the aunt of a prospective student-athlete was his legal guardian and provided food and lodging expenses to her for the official visit.

    Football – An assistant coach inadvertently posted on the Facebook wall of a 2013 prospective student-athlete, believing at the time he was using the email inbox function of Facebook.

    In an effort to administer an athletics program consistent with the values of the NCAA and the university, we have consistently led the Big Ten Conference in self-reports as we have the largest number of sports and student-athletes. Ohio State has 36 varsity sports, while the average number of sports offered by the remaining 11 Big Ten institutions is 22. In addition, athletics staff and coaches at Ohio State have embraced the culture of identifying (as required under NCAA rules) even the smallest violation, investigating the matter and educating those involved.

    Comment from Big Ten Conference Associate Commissioner, Compliance, Chad Hawley to Ohio State’s compliance office: “We are not concerned about the quantity of violations. Division I athletics is a highly regulated environment with a self-reporting requirement. When it is clear that a violation has occurred, we expect our institutions to report the violation. Ohio State has a well-established practice of operating in this way.”

    I understand that they're secondary violations but at some point the sheer number of violations should be concerning, no? These are the types that coaches know about but do anyway.

    I think Smith said we are in the 40 range most years, so this year might be a little high as I believe we are closer to 60. I agree that some of these secondary violations coaches know about and just don't care. Honestly I think most coaches feel the extra contact with a recruit is worth the secondary violation. Add this to the fact that the B10 isn't concerned, and almost praises OSU for these self-reported violations, makes you wonder if there is really a reason to stop. twocents

    Good point the positive seems to outweigh the negative. This isn't going to stop anytime soon unless the NCAA enforces tougher penalties. I'm really beginning to favor a 0 tolerance on these shenanigans. If a staff has a violation with a recruit the said recruit should not be allowed to commit to said school. Bet that would put an end to this. First things first the rule book needs to be updated and some of these stupid ruled need to be tossed, IMO.
