Tough on Cheaters?

NCAA President Mark Emmert said that he wants his organization to become tougher on cheaters. I agree. The president can start his mission with a school not far from his office—Ohio State.

Did you see in the news last week that Ohio State is closely monitoring the purchase of 50 cars by athletes and relatives? The news out of Columbus lately seems always negative.

If I was the NCAA, I would have a huger surveillance camera put in the Ohio State athlete offices. They probably already have placed one there.

Ohio State knows it’s on thin ice. The NCAA has taken much criticism regarding its handling of the Buckeyes. Therefore, Ohio State is pleading for mercy and/or checking out car purchases.

It will be extremely interesting to learn what penalties the NCAA gives Ohio State. The college football world is watching. If the NCAA really wants to come down on cheaters, they certainly have an opportunity to make the Buckeyes poster boys.
