Ohio State has come under alot of fire in the last couple of weeks because of the scandal involving players selling memorabilia and allegations they had received other benefits from boosters that are not allowed by the NCAA. In the wake of this recent scandal a star player has left the school and its head coach who once had a squeaky clean image even wrote a book about ethics in collegiate sports has stepped down.
Some think if ex-coach would have came clean earlier about what he knew and didn't know that maybe he would still have a job today. Or if when allegations came out about players receiving improper benefits he took stricter actions. Or if there was away to keep shady boosters away from student athletes that this could be avoided all along.
Now the program will in the eyes of the public prove it was a few rouges out there that did what they want or the program and the school will be viewed as "cheaters'" or dirty. Not only would it be in danger of losing top recruits if its image doesn't change, but if issues like players receiving such things aren't addressed it could lose scholarships, wins, and ultimately money if actions aren't taken.
