Men's basketball: OSU could face APR sanction
Oden leaving school early may factor into loss of scholarship

Ohio State still faces the possibility of losing a men's basketball scholarship next season, in part because Greg Oden dropped out of school in May to go to the NBA. OSU has turned in its Academic Progress Rate numbers to the NCAA, and the two groups are in the process of determining whether the school will be penalized. OSU expects to know the outcome by February.
"We're in pretty good shape currently with many, many, many teams showing improvement, but basketball still remains a challenge," said John Bruno, a psychology professor who serves as a faculty liaison between academics and athletics. "Still, we have not yet heard from the NCAA that any of our programs are subject to sanctions."

I have mentioned this before about being concerned with all the one and done players we might be getting. I know from reading the article that Matta does not think that we will lose a scholarship but I wish that if we do get more one and done players that they will at least stay through Spring quarter and maintain good academic standing.
Perhaps Thad should stress that when he recruits possible players who might be here the entire four years. I know it is difficult to get guarantees but I think Thad is straight up with the guys so hopefully they would be straight with him.

If OSU loses one next year, when do they get it back again?
For now, OSU has not filled Babbitt's slot, so if OSU is punished, can they get that schollie back for an '09 PF, like Sidney?

I am almost positive that they lose it for only one year.
They will have room for Sydney or someone else if they do lose it for 2008.
What concerns me is if Mullens or Buford decide to go early or even Kosta this year. They just need to finish out in good standing.

Now that could be a huge reason to be more careful when recruiting one and done's.

But, we're all still pretty happy that Oden and friends stopped by for a national championship run right? I mean, it was worth it just to break all those heart over on the Wake Forest site, wasn't it?

I will not deny that I enjoyed the run as much as anybody but my point was that if Oden would have finished up Spring quarter in academic good standing we might be a little better off and I am not saying we are going to take a hit because of him. If we do so be it but he certainly wouldn't be the only cause.
I have nothing against Greg. I think the one-year rule is stupid and we can thank the NBA Players Association for that.
