Hopefully we don’t. If we are still working hard to adhere to the NCAA rules, then we are suckers.

You can really see why schools cheat. It doesn't matter. The NCAA doesn't do anything unless you roll over and take it (see: Michigan stretchgate). There are no consequences so OF COURSE it keeps happening. Hopefully the world of getting paid for your likeness will level the playing field for us a bit

The NCAA killing the golden goose with their decisions.

As it stands, fans of "ethical" programs (Presumably Michigan, Stanford, Vanderbilt, ND etc.) are stuck watching what amounts to rampant cheating over years (grey shirting, everybody murders, tats/weed/money, SEC bagmen, B1G bagmen and on and on) with no real punishment. The problem for the NCAA is that at a certain point these fans (who buy tickets, pay seat licenses, travel to bowls, support local economies) will just walk away. Indeed, several posters on this very board have posted about the relative benefits of their 55 inch tv vs. the Michigan Game Day Experience.

At the point where fans see no real hope for oversight they will walk away. 

The NCAA is colossally screwing college football up. Bottom line.

Unless you have jablowme painted on the shingles of the roof of your chalet no one even knows you spent 9 million on a house you occupy for a few weeks each year.

If you have a 9MM chalet - good for you!  Unless of course you got it by running a ponzi scheme - in that case it makes you dirty and a generally bad guy - which is the point of the comment you replied to.

Yeah, this is kinda ridiculous if true. I wondered whether or not the NCAA was going to really let OSU get away with releasing this news at the easiest part of their schedule.

Therefore making the two game suspension basically no punishment. 

If the rewards of cheating out weigh the consequences, then many programs will continue to do certain things.

I was recently on the 11 Warriors forum. Many of their fans were complaining about how the NCAA is always picking on them. 

They were naming a bunch of former players who got in trouble and incidents that happen within their football program. 

Some of them were angry that OSU just doesn't hide dirt good enough like the SEC programs. 

So OSU fans know that many questionable things go on in their program and in the SEC. Chase just happen to get caught, but it's probably other money benefits going on at OSU with their players.

Michigan might not be totally clean right now. Though most of the real dirt is over 20 years ago with the basketball program.

Feels like OSU waited till the weakest part of their schedule to do this. I suspect OSU knew and dropped it here so he wouldn't miss our game, the B1G championship, or the CFP

Losing has fucked y'all up good.  

OSU waited till the schedule was weak?   Why report it at all.  The only reason it is out is because they did just that.

 

Also, after beating MSU we had a bye and then NW, the worst offensive team in the country.  Why no then?

Sure Wisconsin was next but if there was any fear that he's held out more than 2 games you sure as hell don't want it to be PSU and Mich to end it.

 

That's dumb and your PTSD is rearing it's head.

Because it was going to come out eventually. Better to look like a good boy scout and self report when it doesn't matter rather than potentially see bigger consequences if it's found out later. My acknowledging it on their own timeline, they got to pick what games Chase missed. It's pretty straight forward
