With the manner in which the AD and president handled this, and the length of time it appears these violations have been going on for, OSU deserves to be slammed with massive program crippling sanctions.

Couldn't agree more.
It's obvious using any semblance of common sense that the problems within the OSU administration allowed systematic coverups to continue for at least 10 years and probably more like 4 decades. For that reason alone they should get at least a 5 year bowl ban and a severe reduction in scholarships alomg with forfeiture of any wins since 2003.
Wont happen of course but that would be analogous in regards to the sanctions imposed on USC for ONE player being found in violation.
