There is precedent. In 2010 Ohio State players traded memorabilia and autographs for tattoos and cash which Jim Tressel covered up. Since the players were ineligible the NCAA vacated all of the Buckeye's wins for 2010 as part of the sanctions.
Why would you even ask that question? Are you aware of some facts that aren’t public?
schools are only punished for playing players they know are ineligible. Is that the case here? There certainly is no information that would indicate that.
The only thing that has been said publicly is that OSU was made aware on the Sunday after their Wisconsin game.
I know from skimming the UM blogs, they feel he should be banned for life from ever playing football, or it is the greatest injustice ever. But that level of delusion usually doesn’t make its way here.
precedent says, if the loan came from an agent, he is done with College. If it was not an agent-and that is what the latest reports have said, it would depend on the amount of the loan, if the person giving it has any connection to the school, and other potential circumstances.
it could be as simple as what he says it is, a family friend, and used to fly his girlfriend to attend the Rose Bowl. that might land somewhere between 2-4 games.
Nobody here knows the facts though. We will just have to see.
