<p>The question becomes: Which school will win the first NCAA sanctioned title in football in 2014?</p>

<p>In 2014’s season, and in the 2015 NC bowl game, all those previous mythological no-1’s, some with dual no. 1’s in some years, fall by the wayside and a “true” champion will be crowned. The race is on, and I just curious is schools are already trying to plan for this. What good will winning in 2014 be?</p>

<p>Sparkeye, just because the Domers are creepy, it doesn’t follow that TOSU is the Princeton of the Midwest.</p>

<p>Oivoiv,</p>

<p>First off, I’ve never once said that Ohio State is w/o sin(s)!! In fact, even Harvard is found to have flaws both academically and ethically over the centuries. </p>

<p>Although I have never once stated that Ohio State as Princeton of the Midwest, I did once draw similarity between Ohio Stadium and Harvard Stadium based on their architecture style. I also mentioned that tOSU’s Founding President Edward Orton Sr. was an avid Harvard alumnus who approved Scarlet & Gray as Ohio State’s school colors, which are close resemblance to the Crimson & White of Harvard. Ohio State in my opinion, is THE Aircraft Carrier of American Higher Education, especially so in terms of ample resources available to the students.</p>

<p>“ample resources available to the students.”</p>

<p>Looks like you’re right…</p>

<p>Top academics?
Top sports?</p>

<p>Just look at the USNWR rankings</p>

<p>then</p>

<p>Look at the Director’s Cup rankings:</p>

<p>Top 10 in both?</p>

<p>Stanford
Princeton</p>

<p>Thanks for sharing, Oivoiv!! He (Mo) was suspended from the team after the freshman year and left the school. However, I am glad to learn that Mo had accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior while in prison. He is now bounced back and living a fulfilling life with his wife and kids. My prayers are with him and his family.</p>

<p>“Thanks for sharing, Oivoiv!! He (Mo) was suspended from the team after the freshman year and left the school.”</p>

<p>Ohio State kept him just long enough to win their mythical national championship that year and then discarded him . His lying and cheating coach wouldn’t have it any other way.</p>

<p>I understand how you must be feeling these days, rjk. :p</p>

<p>"“I took golf, fishing, and softball as classes,” Clarett says in the book. “Away from class, anything you can think of I did in my 13 months at Ohio State.”</p>

<p>That included drugs, women and cars, including a brand-new Cadillac and Lexus, according to the book."</p>

<p>TOSU should be commended for updating the old adage: “Give a man a fish, he eats for a day; teach a man to fish, he gets a Lexus.”</p>

<p>^^ You are beating a dead horse here! Try comparing the buckeyes with other top programs such as the Miami Hurricanes or the Trojans regarding to NCAA violation(s), at least tOSU is mandating strict rules these days under Coach Meyer.</p>
