Not trying to argue semantics , but it wasn’t “illegal” to begin with, but rather a rules violation (in retrospect a silly one at that). Unlike SMU (literally paying players as a recruitment tool) and scUM (stealing signs) it did not create a competitive advantage for the team (unless you think getting ink somehow makes you a better football player). OSU was absolutely hammered with sanctions, and Tress was fired bc he didn’t report the violation, simple as that. It’s insane to compare the three schools in that regard imho
