Historically, and in this century, Ohio St has been as dirty, money dirty, as any program, including Auburn. Ohio St gets passes from the NCAA for being in the Big Ten. Ohio St should have gotten the Death Penalty over the Maurice Claret mess, because of fairly recent NCAA investigations that had led to warnings and because the basketball team was caught at the same time (Lack of Institutional control both revenue sports at once). But the Buckeyes skated easily as they always have, not even having a tainted National Championship removed.
