I Don't expect much to come of this, funny nonetheless.

DEATH PENALTY!!!!! Wait 'til they have to vacate their Big Ten 3rd place from last season!

Based upon the last season, the ONLY FAIR thing is if all 2024 season osu games are VACATED.
Moreover, they need to shut down the shoe and no games at all, no fans, no script band march,
NO MONEY.
That will teach them.
Go Blue.

Nothing will happen, if it does Ohio State will flip double birds to the NCAA because their AD is not Warde, and nobody remembers this.

How honest of them. That's the mark of a clean program.

The thing to note here, is that OSU has reported some sort of recruiting violations, I think 3 separate times under Day now?
So they break multiple rules, report it, NCAA doesn't enforce any greater punishment. OSU goes on their merry way. Like what happened after Day's 1 season when they reported 20+ violations all at once including dead period contacts.
OSU breaks more rules 2 years later, reports it, NCAA doesn't enforce greater punishment.
OSU breaks ANOTHER rule 2 years later, reports is, NCAA doesn't enforce greater punishment.
Self-reporting is valued to encourage "compliance" and reduce the administrative burden on the NCAA to carry out investigations and enforcement (what the NCAA argued was disproportionate when they debated removing the advanced scouting rule). But when a school violates a recruiting rule, secures the recruit, and receives a 2 week reduction in team events by 30 minutes each (or something that laughable) then the self-reporting doesn't really matter. It's "hey, we broke a rule but we're going to tell you we broke that rule so... we're done here. See you in 2 years where we do this whole charade again."
That's why when people pee their pants about Michigan's "scandal" regarding burgergate I roll my eyes. Michigan violated a rule that is widely violated. They suspended their HC 4 games because of his lack of "cooperation." There should be punishment. He was punished. More than OSU has been punished collectively for more than 30 violations under Day.

They are the masters at this and have been doing it for years.
Self-reporting small things to appear like they care about the rules, but it is really just a smokescreen.
