NCAA Bans Ohio State from Bowls in 2012

The NCAA has banned Ohio State from a bowl appearance in 2012, Urban Meyer’s first year with the program. In addition to self imposed sanctions which were believed to be thorough enough by Gene Smith, Athletic Director at Ohio State, the NCAA added a third year of probation and additional loses in scholarships (9 total). The Buckeyes will also not be able to play in the next Big Ten championship game, although the current players were able to play in the Sugar Bowl last season and will appear in the Gator Bowl this year.
