Ohio State Receives Sanctions

LA Times:
The NCAA's Committee on Infractions on Tuesday handed down sanctions against Ohio State's football program, penalizing the Buckeyes with a one-year bowl ban and the loss of nine scholarships over the next three years.
Former Coach Jim Tressel, who resigned before last season, was found to have engaged in unethical conduct and was issued a five-year, show-cause order.
The NCAA found that eight players received more than $14,000 in cash payments or preferential treatment from the owner of a Columbus, Ohio, tattoo parlor. In addition to free or discounted tatoos and cash for memorabilia, one player also received a loan and a discount on a car, the committee said.
The NCAA also found that Tressel concealed the violations when he was notified of the situation.
Slightly more than a slap on the wrist.  I think more corruption was left uncovered.
