Discipline Hearing for BCS Gate-Crashers

Forget "making an example" out of them, it sounds like a BCS hangover on the OSU administration's part...
I agree. If it had been "The" OSU winning by 27 points, these three would have received a slap on the wrist. They would have been hailed as harmless rascals who wanted nothing more than to be there cheering on their valiant team.
I'd bring a check for the cost of an upper level seat to the hearing and hand it over since that's really what OSU and the NCAA want. Money.
I hate OSU but good for these guys for getting in. If they weren't stopped at the door, the issue should be closed. If I were them, I'd say, no, that whole newspaper story was a joke and we actually had tickets but I'm not sure where they are now. Get lost. And then I'd leave that shitty university if this is how they treat devoted fans.
Here's my question. Weren't these kids both seniors? What kind of student transfers in the winter of his senior year?
I get so ticked off about this. I'm biased since I'm in college, but the students should be able to get tickets to the game, and not have to pay $500 or go through a 1-100 chance lottery.
expulsion for sneaking into a game? extreme.
so if you, ya know, like do something bad academically -- cheat, plagerize, etc. -- do they, ugh, kill you?
Free The Ohio Two!!!
