Will the NCAA actually fall for Ohio State's joke of self imposed penalties?

No way does the NCAA go along with Ohio State's "punishment" by itself, they will add to it. First off they are starting to step up punishments. Second this is about what WVU just got(started self-imposed and NCAA agreed to) for FAR less. On top of that look how long this was covered by Tressel as well. The cover-up alone would have likely got them the punishment they are trying to give themselves.
