Ohio State Banned From 2012 Bowl, Placed On 3 Years Probation
Tuesday December 20, 2011 1:59 PM
COLUMBUS, Ohio - The NCAA imposed a one-year postseason ban on Ohio State's football program for the 2012 season, announced a reduction of scholarships and placed the university on probation for three years after it was cited for failure to monitor, according to sanctions the NCAA released on Tuesday.

That was my thought as well. Well, at least having earned the right to a bowl but denied due to people no longer involved with the team.

I'm actually looking forward to shitstorm that will rain down when OSU goes undefeated in the regular season next year with coaches and players that had nothing to do with violations.
That probably will happen (a la USC in the Pac 12 this year; 6-6 UCLA went to the Pac 12 Title Game in place of USC), and then they have to sit and watch Wisconsin go to the Big Ten Championship.

Even if these players and this coach didn't do it, the fact that the players who did still played in the bowl makes the bowl ban kind of OK to me.
If it also includes the Big Ten Championship game though, that is ridiculous.

I had heard it did, just wasn't positive...that is the suck.
even if the NCAA sanction didn't ban it, the Big 10 Conference prohibits teams ineligible for bowls from playing in the conference championship. they don't want a victor who cannot represent the conference at the BCS level.

Look at the bright side. The day after the Michigan game Urban Myer can go out and focus 100% of his energy on recruiting for the 2012-2013 class.

I feel like the self-imposed penalties just made it worse - like the NCAA had to one-up whatever OSU did to themselves.
I felt like this as well. Moreover, I feel like the amount of time it took the NCAA to reach this decision was absurd and unfair to OSU, because if we'd known that a bowl ban was in the cards, it should have been this year, not next year, that we were bowl-ineligible. It's utterly risible that the bowl ban year will be the first year under the new coach and coaching staff, and players now two years removed from the years of the infractions. In college sports, two years is an eternity.
