No Scarlet Letter for BUCS well...not until next year?


The NCAA doesn’t know how to punish people in this case punish kids. I wonder if the NCAA was a real person, how would they punish or discipline there bad ass kids. If the NCAA is parents then college players and Universities are the children and guess what people, they have favorites.
Every parent will tell you that they do not have favorite and that every child equal in their eyes. Come On……you know they tend to give a little more love to the kid who has the good grades, the one who brings you tea and has the house clean when you come home. Yes people, parents have favorites and you know when they show it during punishments and celebrations.
Well, to the sheep of the world it looks like the Ohio State Buckeyes are in the favorite column. As the NCAA has rendered sanction against the Bucs regarding 5 of their players are deemed ineligible for the first five games of the 2011 season. That’s right I said the first FIVE games of the 2011 season. Not the upcoming BCS Bowl game vs. Arkansas where the team will really be hurt and be punished the most, no they made up some rule that of course you and I have never seen or heard of.

The NCAA said in its news release that its policy for players in bowl games or championship events "recognizes the unique opportunity these events provide at the end of a season, and they are evaluated differently from a withholding perspective."
Here is what the Bucs did:
In addition to sitting out the first five games of the 2011 season, five Ohio State football players, including Terrelle Pryor (pictured) must repay the following to charity:
Pryor
• Repay $2,500 for selling 2008 Big Ten championship ring, 2009 Fiesta Bowl sportsmanship award, 2008 Gold Pants
Daniel Herron
• Repay $1,150 for selling jersey, pants and shoes for $1,000 and receiving discounted services worth $150
Devier Posey
• Repay $1,250 for selling 2008 Big Ten championship ring for $1,200 and receiving discounted services worth $50.
Mike Adams
• Repay $1,000 for selling 2008 Big Ten championship ring.
Solomon Thomas
• Repay $1,505 for selling 2008 Big Ten championship ring for $1,000, 2008 Gold Pants for $350 and receiving discounted services worth $155

Thanks Reggie Bush, you have set the bar so high that cheating of this kind is not really cheating if pay the money back!
