OSU Investigation...
Just from my read, it appears the athletics dept. is pushing the investigation. Could simply be an attempt to prevent a later scoop and well - deserved paranoia results. On the flip, if the AD or Coach is pissed due to a lack of coordination/communication, Troy may very well sit out Sept. 10. I trust he has been told mucho to call at any time.... I also believe that Coach T. has a vested interest in these kids & will deliver a lesson should one be needed. If this is the case, We still have a hell of a game & opportunity to set the stage for a TBDBITL Rose Parade! Plus, Troy will have learned to dot i's and cross t's, I HOPE! Given the nat. coverage, a display that the athletic dept. will not face a label such as "Lack of institutional control" in the near future...

I don't understand why the reason he skipped class in this case is a big deal. Did he receive any improper benefits? I don't think so. So in the NCAA's mind if I'm an athlete and skip class to go to the strip club, play X-box, go golfing, etc. that's ok. But I go help out in a charitable sort of way (even though professional athletes are involved), I do not receive any improper benefits, and that is not OK!!! I just don't understand! Skipping class is still skipping class whatever the reason. The NCAA has their collective heads up their butts!
Did he miss one class, a day of classes, or a series of classes throughout the week. Again what grade did he earn!!! Many times I didn't go to a class but a couple of times and received an "A" because I studied my a$$ off. I know the rule is in place to insure that athlete's earn their grades by going to class, but their has to be a voice of common sense here. Oh, I forgot we are dealing with the NCAA...guess that is a lost cause.

I'm not saying the NCAA is right, I'm just saying that the NCAA is involved because he missed class for the camp. If JT found out that he had skipped class for golf or video games it would be an internal team matter that we would never hear about.

Agreed...Probably should have been an internal matter from the get go, but with the NCAA and ESPN sniffing around all the time at OSU, I don't blame them for being upfront with all this stuff.

I skipped class today in protest of the NCAA's petty nature, bloated rulebook, and cold hypocrisy.
Sorry to hear about TS's situation. The NCAA can be really punitive and petty over things. Hopefully they remember their BS commercials about developing well-rounded citizens when they handle this case.
It's about a 6 hour drive from Columbus to Nashville, right?

Listening to 1460 The Fan and they are saying that 'OSU officals are very confident he will not miss the Texas game.'
Herbie was on and talked up Smith over and over saying that he has heard from the players that he is the far better 'leader.' Says all the team still loves him, which is a special quility.
Herbie and the other guy is talking up his charactor too saying they have honor of knowing him personally, and are vouching he is a great guy.
