If the NCAA is shown to have hushed up incriminating evidence prior to last year's OSU bowl game (presumably in order to not rock the cash boat) is this in any way illegal or unethical?

In other words: What did the NCAA know and when did they know it?

Could've sworn some e-mails were released before the bowl game that proved Coach Sweater Vest knew last spring of items being sold/exchanged.

I believe the NCAA looked the other way but obviously I have no proof of that.

Soon enough to alter the bowl roster.

I don't believe that Tressel's emails became public knowledge until after that first embarassing press conference where Gee said he was worried about Tressel firing him.

All that said, the NCAA got pantsed by OSU when they let those players participate in the bowl game.

My expectation is that the bowl win will be the only win to hold up. That particular game was the only game they played in that they may be considered eligible for-- since the NCAA specifically made them eligible for it.

Crappy, I know. But...

of course. Money makes the world go round. They will be able to hide behind the loophole of trying to keep the competition level comparable, too.

If they find only the "limited problem" Ohio State referred to was being covered up, that's true.

But if they find that there were more than 20 other players, and the violations for Pryor and probably the others extended beyond the known memorobilia for Tatoos sales, the game will still be over turned. That's why the NCAA has taken such an interest in Pryor's car situation suddenly, even though it was first reported back some time ago. It gives them an out to strip Ohio State of the win the NCAA is getting a lot of flak for hand wrapping for them.

And would bring Ohio State's bowl record back to the appropriate 0 for Forever against the SEC in bowl games.

The NCAA made Derrick Rose eligible to play for Memphis...twice. Now they say they lost every game he played in.

Doesn't really matter if you ask me, what they knew was that the kids violated the rules which SHOULD have rendered them ineligible immediately but no, they decided to let them play because... well I can't really think of a good reason for that, but I'm sure they had a good one. :dry:
