Nope, Bob is right on. OSU w/ Tressell cheated for all of his 10 years and got caught and then got off light. They should've been forced to forfeit every game for 10 years. You can link the cheating from Clarett through Prior, ineligible players throughout. Don't use your 'friendship' as part of your argument. It has absolutely nothing to do with the issue and is only a poor attempt to deflect.
Wow....seriously? if you knew me at all, you'd know that I was one of the first on our board to call for Tressel and Smith to be fired. I'm not condoning any part of what he did and I also called for the NCAA to make an example out of any program who violated the NCAA rules, starting with us. We got off easy with a one year bowl ban and the loss of some schollies, and I for one, am glad that Tressel is gone. I never bought into his "Saint Tressel" image. I believe that CFB is badly broken with all these issues - Miami, PSU, tOSU, Oregon, and other yet to be disclosed. Something has to be done and those that get caught need to take their medicine for the good of all CFB. But don't whine and make excuses for your bad years and your losses. Your program is better than that.
