I know, someone's going to tell me I'm "absurd" again. I don't care. I think you CAN judge a person's guilt/motives by what they say in their own defense.
I also believe that OSU is now doing EXACTLY what you're supposed to do when you discover an NCAA violation. You self-report, and you self-impose penalties that you think are acceptable. The damn shame about this thing is that it makes people think they are guilty, when they could have avoided the whole mess by sweeping it under the rug. Again, they didn't do that. They self-reported, and self-penalized. That says to me that they are doing the right thing, not the wrong thing. Covering it up WOULD be an NCAA violation for Ohio State. Does anyone understand the difference? |
During an NCAA investigation, there is a gag order placed on the University. Tressel or Geiger can't say it has connections to the NCAA investigation regardless. They can choose to say no comment or they can say it is not related. What they said today has no effect on what I am thinking right now.
You are correct saying that self imposing this is the right thing to do, but they had no choice in the matter. Had they swept this under the rug, the NCAA would most definetely find out anyways.
