Smith was suspended by the school, not the NCAA. I'm not sure how Clarett fixes into being anything like what happened at SMU, he was just a headcase.
This latest one I agree has the makings of SMU type stuff, but this is technically the first time there will be NCAA sanctions regarding this. SMU was busted, and then did the exact same crap DURING the sanctions. There's no comparison.
I personally don't care what happens to Ohio State, and yeah it's definitely bad that the coach knew about this. All I'm saying is this isn't really anywhere near the level of SMU's Death Penalty infractions.
