Title: "Ohio State has several pending NCAA violations" Post by: Chechem on May 24, 2012, 07:35:02 AM http://espn.go.com/college-sports/story/_/id/7966726/ohio-state-buckeyes-ad-gene-smith-says-more-ncaa-violations-pending
Quote Ohio State has several pending NCAA violations that could be classified as major or secondary, athletic director Gene Smith told the school's student newspaper. It's unknown if any of the new violations involve the football program, which received a postseason ban for 2012 and scholarship losses for major violations committed by several players and former coach Jim Tressel. According to the report in The Lantern, Smith said the athletic department has 12 pending NCAA violations in addition to the 46 self-reported secondary violations since May 31, 2011. The 46 secondary violations were released last week. Smith told the newspaper that the pending violations "may turn out to be secondary. It may not." "Our whole thing is if we have 10 [violations], I'd have a problem," Smith told The Lantern. "I mean, I really would, because people are going to make mistakes. And that means if I only have 10 out of 350 employees [and] 1,000 athletes -- something's not right." ...

"Loaned" is the operative word to avoid any violations. It's a clever idea, I suspect Bama will be doing it soon. My daughter's school loans out netbooks for the school year to all kids starting in the 5th grade. Huntsville's new school superintendent has some clever ways to finance things.Title: Re: "Ohio State has several pending NCAA violations" Post by: double nickel on May 24, 2012, 04:04:49 PM Quote The iPads will be loaned to the athletes to maximize their study time, help them to participate in interactive and online education apps and make use of other digital downloads and books.
