OHIO STATE: A DIRTY PROGRAM



Ohio State and the NCAA

Not only has Ohio State been guilty of NCAA violations multiple times, but their attitude towards the NCAA is one that a criminal would take with the police: they hide any and all evidence.

In the Clarett case, Clarett is criticized by Ohio State as a liar. If his testimony to the NCAA is a lie, then Ohio State is guilty as sin.

In the Schlichter case, Ohio State decided not to inform the NCAA, using the lame excuse that they didn't think it was worth reporting - despite the F.B.I.'s involvement.

Ohio State is a win at all costs school, and in the end, this means they lose no matter what. Integrity matters.
