cheaters hall of fame

"Ohio State has been found guilty of major infractions four times since the 1950s, but it had none in the past three years."

Way to go guys. Let's give tOSU a big pat on the back for staying clean for three years.

Was it really worth noting that you've been caught once every 15 years, but none were in the last three?

I think that would be the football infractions we're just getting over and the tennis infractions from the 80's or 90's (they were infractions, though they did not result in probation).
 
Yes the article suggests football but then seems to include Tech for football and tennis.
 
For those who weren't alive at the time, what happened with the tennis players?
 
Most of those schools that have none, haven't even been playing football 30 years.

Don't remember exactly but seems like it had to do with players getting paid for giving lesson? Anybody else remember?
 
Did O'leary loaning CJ $200 count? He couldn't be one the sidelines for a game IIRC.

I was on the team when the violation occurred.

The men's coach, Gery Groslimond, promised a junior player from England (named Steve) that he would receive a half scholarship if came to GT his sophomore year.

He wouldn't be on the team in the first year but would teach enough lessons (in the coach's junior academy) to pay for his freshman year of school. At the time that was legal.

However, GT had a compliance officer who was bucking for a promotion. He was in line for the Metro conference head compliance job. He built a case that the player was on the team and therefore a student athlete was paid $20,000.

We self reported. The NCAA just rubber stamped it and gave us no probation. Groslimond was fired and the team had scholarships reduced. The GT compliance officer took the job as head of compliance for the Metro Conference.

It really was miscarriage of justice. And a shame because Groslimond had the #1 recruiting class in the country coming in the next year (and they were ranked 12th that yr at seasons end) and he really did nothing wrong. Steve was never on the team. I hit with him one time on the weekend and beat the snot out of him. He wouldn't have ever come close to starting. He never played a match for GT and transferred to GA State for his sophomore year. He's not on our team's 1987 poster. He never practiced once with the team.

The men's tennis program has never been the same...
 
NCAA rules are VERY SIMILAR to IRS rules they are created by unruly bureaucracies with MUCH LOBBYING going on

I'm not a huge fan of the NCAA and I think some of the rules are useless. But, the NCAA's only members are all the institutions--it's not some random governing body. The schools got together, created this system and, in a way, these rules.
