Ohio State Future

With everything that has happened in the past year with TP and company a fan would be like minded to question the integrity of the program. On the flip side let’s consider an alternative perception. Luke Fickell and Mike Vrabel are now on staff. Who better than young, former, integral players to capture the helm? I say add Chris Spielman as D-coordinator, Eddied George as running backs coach and collectively start busting chops/balls on campus. If you cant get respect and attention from those four guys then it just isn’t going to happen. Chris, Luke, Eddie and Mike aren’t ignorant to the pitfalls of big boy college football. They know what to embrace and what to ignore from “outsiders”. As a young elite athlete or a parent of one you know the difference between right and wrong when it comes to regulations set forth by the NCAA. You don’t have to agree with them but you must adhere. If I’m the QB for the Bucks and someone gives me a BMW for free it doesn’t take a genius to ponder if I should accept it given my position as a blue chip athlete at an elite University. The onus is on the athlete – not the university. This madness that is surrounding the sport that I love the most needs to stop. Find a standard of practice and mandate it with the passion in which the NFL is trying to remedy it’s issues. Why is it not a criminal offense punishable by jail to solicit an amateur athlete? Or is it? If it is, who is in jail for it?

Hey Ty,
I do agree,the corruption with this college sport is absurd. The fact that somehow the schools are looking the other way is not ok, but not on them.I am not aware of any laws about it,so it’s difficult to deal with.Any athlete who’s got their heart & soul into any sport,shouldn’t worry about their car,more about their potential future,by earning it.Anyone desperate enough 2 accept these kind of bribes/whatever you want to call it,in my eyes,should not have the privilege to play.It shows where priorities are,&how shallow some can be.My brother is a sports broadcaster for sirius,I hear lots about this. I played sports & still do,so this disgusts me 2.Football is my fav.xoxo
Hope you and your fam are well. Im not a huge fan of basketball,im very short. Though I can shoot,being vertically challenged prevents me from being good against others,so I play alone

Agreed. Also, it’s only a matter of time until Cam Newton has to give back his Heisman.
No offense, but I think I’ll just stick to baseball being my favorite sport and the only sport I watch. Besides, nobody ever tried to explain football to me unless I was drunk at a party and what’s the point in that? LOL If I want to watch a bunch of guys run around in tights, I’ll go to the Ballet. ;o)
