NCAA Bans Ohio State Football from 2012 Postseason Bowl Games for Violations

The NCAA announced on Tuesday that it would impose a postseason ban on The Ohio State University’s football program, effective next year. This punishment is a result of OSU’s failure to monitor preferential treatment and extra benefit violations.

The National Collegiate Athletic Association on Tuesday imposed a postseason ban on The Ohio State University’s football program, effective next year, citing the school for “failure to monitor, preferential treatment and extra benefit violations.”
The penalties in this case, some of which were self-imposed by the university and adopted by the committee, include a one-year postseason ban for the 2012 season, additional scholarship reductions, disassociation of both an involved booster and a former student-athlete, forfeiture of almost $340,000 and a vacation of records.
