That's why this is difficult. I think you made a good case that osu tries to run a clean program and I actually think jim tressel was not only a really good football coach, loved and took care of his players and was, essentially, about 95% clean. That 5% that he tried to skate on was huge and cost him. Such is life .... risk, reward.
I can relate.
I'll repeat what I said earlier.
I think the the typical osu fan - especially the ones that have some money to burn - is much more prone to provide that $100 handshake to a top recruit than his counterpart Michigan fan.
So, despite there being absolutely no factual evidence to correlate substantially better on field performance to illicitly luring recruits with promises of shoes, tats, golf, money, cars or whatever, there is circumstantial evidence that this kind of thing is more prevalent in and around the osu football program than it is around M.
That supports the argument that osu is a dirty program. One could argue that they are unable to optimize that sort of shit and turn into better on field performance. That is the fault of the coaches who know its going on but fail to advantage themselves by it.
