Ohio State Athletic Program Violations

[ShakerBuck]

Technically it is true that OSU leads the big ten in recruiting violations. some of these are truly absurd. and very few are actually football.

example...Ohio State?s men?s basketball appears on the list for failing to get a recruit and family into their hotel room by bedtime

Woo hoo, another Big Ten title!

We're #1!
We're #1!
We're #1!

Ohio State admits 'secondary violations' of NCAA recruiting rules in pursuit of lineman Henderson

The pursuit of Seantrel Henderson, an offensive lineman who eventually chose Southern California -- and then Miami -- over Ohio State has resulted in the Buckeyes admitting some recruiting violations.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The recruitment of offensive tackle Seantrel Henderson created a lot of paperwork for the Ohio State compliance office. The Buckeyes' chase of the highly-rated recruit led to the school reporting four secondary NCAA violations, most of which had nothing to do with the OSU coaching staff.

Henderson signed with USC before getting out of that commitment and landing at Miami.

"When you have a kid that high-profile, the chances of those types of things popping up are much greater," said Chris Rogers, Ohio State's assistant athletic director for compliance. "It's not like it's something that's limited to Ohio State. It happens all the time."

Wow. Secondary to say the least.

Is there a point where an accumulation of secondary violations could result in penalties? If not, what's the point of them being violations? There.is no deterant

Not sneezing in to your elbow pit is a secondary violation anymore.

If you do not self-report, then that is when the trouble happens...

The answer is no. Remember Lane Kiffin racked up like 13 secondary violations in his first 9 months to a year at Tennessee. Like korchiki said, if you do not self report, then some issues may arise.

I thought this part of the article was interesting..

Overall, the OSU athletic department reported 13 secondary violations between Jan. 1 and July 1 of this year, including three of the Henderson incidents. Rogers said a rule of thumb is for a department to average one secondary violation per sport per year. Ohio State has 36 sports.

One violation occurred with the basketball team when an OSU player, while signing autographs, was asked during a basketball camp last year for his shoes by a camper. The player granted the request, which was discovered when the camper's mother offered thanks to the player in a camp survey.
By the rules, that camper was a future prospect, so giving him the shoes was a violation.

You have got to be kidding me.

You have got to be kidding me.

I remember a friend of mine telling me that he wrote to the OSU Football Office / Coach Tressel requesting an autograph picture for one of his nephews. He even provided a self addressed / stamped envelope & his nephew's first name to personalize it so that they wouldn't think he was just trying to sell memorabilia on e-bay.

He went on to explain that his nephew was not only a huge tOSU & Coach Tressel fan (obviously), but that he was also a Freshman QB on his High School JV team with aspirations to play football at tOSU (like so many other young Ohio kids) some day.

He received a letter back from one of the girls working in the Football Office with regrets stating that Coach Tressel often takes time responding to fan mail and autograph requests, but since my friend described his nephew as a current high school football player, sending the autographed pic would be considered a recruiting violation.



My friend wasn't at all upset with Coach T, but pretty irritated at the rules / system getting so nit-picky that his 14 year old nephew got the shaft (by the NCAA) for being the 2nd or 3rd string QB on his JV football team in podunk Ohio.

Oh well, I still remember losing out on what's-his-face in Basketball to the Bearcats because one of our assistant coaches bought him a Wendy's cheese burger.....but it was probably a triple, so you know. :)
