In news that seemingly fell through the cracks, the Ohio State football team self-reported 12 violations to the NCAA according to a report by Cleveland.com’s Nathan Baird.
Some of the violations include emailing prospects before the designated period, a staff member dropping off a recruit to a former player’s tailgate off-campus, and using a blocking sled that was not allowed during that time frame.
It’s very typical, and in most cases expected, for schools to do this, and after the NCAA announcement of Tennessee’s infractions resulting in just a $8 million fine and a 5-year probation, Ohio State should not have to worry about any of these resulting in major penalties.

It’s a completely different story between the two universities and if Ohio State did something major, you’d expect the NCAA to come down much harder than they did for Tennessee. Comparing the two instances, the Buckeyes shouldn’t see any sort of ramifications.
In other words, not much to see here.
