I'd say don't poke the bear, but that would confer on the denizens there alevel of hirsute masculinity heretofore not on display.
So hows about don't poke the bare-ass naked jackasses.

According to ozone, the university volunteered a reduction of two basketball scholarships for this upcoming year for 2005-2006. I think this is a great move on the university because it not only shows the ncaa that Ohio State is being proactive in nipping this thing in the bud, but also because the basketball team wasn't going to use the full amount of scholarships this year anyways, so it is the best of both worlds. Hopefully the ncaa will see this reduction as enough of a punishment in terms of going forward for the program...

I also heard that OSU was able to prove that Obie was the one who gave Salyers tickets to the basketball game and WAS knowledgable about what was going on. This removes Biancardi from taking total blame. The university is saying that since Obie was knowledgable and a participant in the action, that there was really no way for the university to know what was going on. Pretty much they are asking the NCAA to be lenient with the punishments.. No link just heard this from my pops.

DDN article:

OSU: Biancardi key player in violations
By Kyle Nagel
Dayton Daily News
COLUMBUS | Paul Biancardi, head men's basketball coach at Wright State University, had "knowledge and involvement" in improper housing and payments for a player and "acted contrary to the principles of ethical conduct" while working at Ohio State University, according to a report released Thursday.
In addition, Ohio State said in its response to NCAA allegations that Biancardi and former OSU head coach Jim O'Brien provided a cash payment of $6,700 to a recruit and that "Biancardi knowingly facilitated delivery of the funds as directed by O'Brien."
"The University is deeply troubled to have found that serious violations occurred in the men's basketball program under former head coach O'Brien," OSU wrote in its 225-page response, which was sent to the NCAA on Wednesday night.
O'Brien's attorney, Joseph Murray, disputed the OSU's claims.
"Unlike Ohio State, Jim O'Brien doesn't need 2,000 pages to explain why he didn't do anything wrong," Murray said.
On Thursday, Wright State said it stands behind Biancardi.
"The NCAA has filed allegations. Right now, they're still allegations," said Dan Abrahamowicz, Wright State vice president for student affairs. "As far as we're concerned, we stand by what Paul has said all along. At the same time, we'll be fully cooperative with the NCAA."
Biancardi has continually denied any of the allegations through his attorney, Jim Zeszutek. Zeszutek did not return a phone message.
The report OSU sent to the NCAA was in response to allegations of impropriety in the men's and women's basketball and football programs. OSU agreed with most of the allegations — seven of the nine claims focused on men's basketball — and told the association it has reduced men's basketball scholarships for the coming season as self-punishment.
The allegations against the men's basketball program came to light in a civil lawsuit filed in 2003. Two of the players mentioned in the deposition were Aleksandar Radojevic, a recruit who never played for the Buckeyes, and Slobodan "Boban" Savocic, an OSU guard from 1998-2002. In the OSU report, per federal law that prohibits identifying students' personal information, some names were blacked out.
OSU disputed only that it failed to monitor a player's relationship and improper living arrangements with Kathleen Salyers. Salyers, a Columbus nanny and housekeeper, has said she housed and cared for Savovic during his OSU career as part of a deal with a now-divorced Columbus couple.
"Ohio State firmly believes that it monitored its men's basketball program in a manner where it was reasonable to expect rules compliance," the response says.
The school did agree that Biancardi handled cash from O'Brien meant as a gift for Radojevic.
In the report, OSU told the NCAA that it imposed a "limit of no more than 11 scholarships" for the coming season, two less than the max | | |
