In every way. OSU fans musta outnumbered our fans 4 to in our own stadium.

I doubt anyone is really shocked by this. It has been going on at every football-driven school (with some exceptions), and the big boys know how to play the game and do whatever it takes. They should start by doing the same investigation at every school in the SEC and Big 12 (where I think this goes on more). The caliber of schools in the PAC12 and ACC probably diminishes how much this takes place there (with some exceptions).

As a big public school, OSU will get a slap on the wrist, likely lose some scholarships, and have to apologize publicly. It will not be as severe as what penn state got, and we all know that "punishment" certainly didn't do justice for what they allowed to go on. It's sad.

Question is whether these allegations are beyond the statue of limitations for punishment, which is four years. I doubt much is going to happen.

Interesting how the series is being broken down -

part 5= most dangerous (those David Stanley's that have nothing to lose by telling all)

“Part 1: Money ( On SI.com Tuesday, 9/10 and in the 9/16/13 SI issue ): SI finds that OSU used a bonus system orchestrated by an assistant coach whereby players were paid for their performance on the field, with some stars collecting $500 or more per game. In addition, the report finds that OSU boosters and at least two assistant coaches funneled money to players via direct payments and a system of no-show and sham jobs. Some players say they collected more than $10,000 annually in under-the-table payouts.

-- Part 2: Academics (On SI.com Wednesday, 9/11): Widespread academic misconduct, which included tutors and other OSU personnel completing coursework for players, and professors giving passing grades for little or no work, all in the interest of keeping top players eligible.

-- Part 3: Drugs (On SI.com Thursday, 9/12): OSU tolerated and at times enabled recreational drug use, primarily through a specious counseling program that allowed some players to continue to use drugs while avoiding penalties. The school’s drug policy was selectively enforced, with some stars going unpunished despite repeated positive tests.

-- Part 4: Sex (On SI.com Friday, 9/13): OSU’s hostess program, Orange Pride, figured so prominently in the recruitment of prospects that the group more than tripled in size under Miles. Both Miles and Gundy took the unusual step of personally interviewing candidates. Multiple former players and Orange Pride members say that a small subset of the group had sex with recruits, a violation of NCAA rules.

-- Part 5: The Fallout (On SI.com Tuesday, 9/17, and in the 9/23/13 SI issue): SI finds that many players who were no longer useful to the football program were cast aside, returning to worlds they had hoped to escape. Some have been incarcerated, others live on the streets, many have battled drug abuse and a few have attempted suicide.”

Nothing serious will happen, but major major lols. Looking forward to the other 4 parts.

I'd be shocked if Oklahoma State were even given probation.

Wonder if Pickens was involved or if he is thinking all of his donations may be decreasing in value if this actually does add up to something.

[ponyte]

Though not confirmed, it is reported that when Tyrann Mathieu and Ryan Perrilloux were kicked off the team, a couple of boosters for hearty rebates.

But Miles runs a clean program to be sure.

I guess I better sell my ticket stub before Rashaun Woods loses the NCAA record he achieved in that game, deeming it worthless!

[Nacho]

does this mean we have to give back the horses?

[gostangs]

it appears we have done that already. maybe they were part of the divorce settlement.
