What I got out of the whole thing is that they: 1) self reported to the NCAA, 2) sent Bollman a harsh reprimand, 3) it remains in his file for (apparently) the whole world to see, 4) it wasn't hidden or swept under the rug, 5) it didn't result in NCAA sanctions, 6) it goes to show that Ohio State takes compliance very seriously, and reports even the smallest possible infractions to the NCAA.
People need to understand that the presence of such a file, with evidence that possible infractions were reported is a GOOD thing. It shows that Ohio State doesn't ignore and hide stuff. You would have to be an idiot to think that all colleges don't have the same kinds of issues arise from time to time. The difference is how they DEAL with them. Ohio State is one of the good guys. They do things the right way, even when it's a seemingly small matter, to keep SEC-like corruption from setting in.
