In a signal that tougher penalties likely loom, the NCAA has notified Ohio State University that it is facing a charge of failing to monitor its violation-plagued football program.

Failure to monitor is the second-worst finding the NCAA can impose on an athletic program.

Ohio State announced the NCAA findings this afternoon and that it would cut five scholarships over a three-year period beginning next year.

So, is that five scholarships total over three years or five scholarships each year for three years. The later is acceptable, the former is not.
 

It's five total. But remember, these are just the self-imposed restrictions. Methinks the NCAA won't be as kind.
 

Because they didn't do it themselves, I'd guess there's going to be at least a 1-year bowl ban for the Buckeyes. I think what USC got (2 year bowl ban) would be fair. I actually think what happened at OSU is worse.
 

Just more favorable news for Wisconsin sports programs. OSU slips, PSU falls, Illinois is average and Purdue and Indiana are pushovers. Wisconsin could win that division simply by default for the next 5 years.

It's a great day to be a badgers fan (sarcasm)
 


Divisions should have been east/west with no locked crossovers.
But that would make way too much sense
