Introducing Your New Big Bat: Casey Kotchman?
February 3, 2012Cavs/Magic Preview: Can Kyrie Irving add Dwight Howard to his list of victims?
February 3, 2012From Ohio State Athletic Director Gene Smith-
“I am disappointed that negative references have been made about our football coaches, and particularly head coach Urban Meyer regarding recruiting. In our league appropriate protocol, if you have concerns, is to share those concerns with your Athletic Director (AD). Then your AD will make the determination on the appropriate communication from that point forward. The ADs in our league are professionals and communicate with each other extremely well. Urban Meyer and his staff have had a compliance conscience since they have arrived.”

Wait a minute… Gene Smith hasn’t been fired yet?!
Is it possible to vacate wins before you even earn any?
Man, I wish Gene Smith would shut it. Every time he opens his mouth, controversy just grows and solidifies – thus proving that Mike Holmgren and Randy Lerner are in a complete no-win situation in Ohio.
/thread hijacked. Don’t make any sudden movements, and nobody gets hurt.
What a tool.
I loved it when he said he was disappointed with what the NCAA findings were. That was a great one. I’m sure that did a lot for the school. Guy needs to go. Oh, and thanks for not holding the bucks out of a bowl this year when we were 6-6! Good decision on that one. As far as I was concerned, that was a lose lose situation for us.
Uh-oh. I’ve seen this movie before. Gene Smith says nothing bad happened…
…then something bad happens.
I’m surprised you’re using the internet time at the asylum to make posts on this board. I’m sure you can put that time to better use. I believe in you and the imaginary friend sitting next to you who, convincingly, keeps telling you that the Browns are a great organization.
Sorry, Ignatius, but I’m not taking your bait!
Urban Meyer contacted recruits who were soft verbals, and if they said they were interested in Ohio State, he continued to talk with them. Wisconsin, Michigan State, and anyoneelse can cry about unfair recruiting, but there is nothing illegal about it. Until recruits are signed, anyone is allowed to contact them.
Haha, ok. Now go run and stand in line for those playoff tickets!
Yeah its called RECRUITING! What did he do wrong? Recruit them?
By the Fates, don’t get your pyloric valve worked up!
The Wisconsin coach who used an abused rule last year to recruit Wilson has a complaint???? Wilson could have went back to NC State…..instead Coach (Whiney) Bielema offered a better deal. Quit crying coach and just play ball.
