Erickson said if the current players earn the chance to play in a bowl, they have every right to play and they will. That said, I would hope Penn State donates a serious chunk of the change they make to charity.

Good question. I didnt see it before.

Did these breaks of the rules rise to that level? Personally I dont think so either individually OR collectively for each player.
In terms of "tattoogate" can you really fault the player beyond the imposed suspensions, for what amounted to tacit approval from the institution?
Now Jamal Berry on the other hand , rightly HAS been suspended awaiting legal verdict on the alledged assualts. First one on campus he was given benefit of the doubt. after the second and subsequest filing of charges ,he sits. As he should. DAmn shame too , cuz the dude has talent. If the allegations are true, its a waste. But he had a choice.

Berry was suppose to be the next Beanie. Looks like Hyde is going to take the roll...

anyways, as for the question about player suspensions....imo, the players the sold/traded their personal property should have not been suspended.

players "borrowing" cars should have been

Maurice was handled a long time ago, and oh btw, only played one season, which was clean...all the shit with him started the following year, if memory serves. it may not.

well if they do (and i think they should just for the player's sake) they should donate ALL money to the victims

I think Luke is the guy to get OSU past this shit from the past decade.

that seems to be the assumption....

He is in such a shit spot. No matter what he does, he mostly likely gone after the season, unless there are major issues (no bowl game next year), then i can see the school keeping him around.

he's done a decent job....the team has improved from early in the season. just need to find a QB who can throw a decent pass. Hopefully, Braxton improves this off season.

He talked some smack about tutors doing classwork and some other shit. Kinda the same stuff Troy Smith was saying well after Clarett was gone.

most teams actually lose money by accepting bowl invites. there was an SI article about this a couple of years ago. something like 3 of the 64 teams that went to bowls ended up in the black.

I think wisconsin is the best big 10 team by far. not even close. both of their losses were fluky. they would destroy either of the teams they lost to on a neutral field.

but they don't play on a neutreal field....

Wisconsin just can't win the big ones.

where is the big 10 title game? I'm guessing a neutral field. wisconsin will be laying double digits and they will be the lock of the year

Does the Big Ten suck cause OSU and Michigan are down? That's a stupid reason (which i think the natl media sadly believes), WI and Michigan State are good teams, and NEB isn't too bad either. Are we the SEC? No, but we also have academic standards in Big Ten country!!!
