In a signal that tougher penalties likely loom, the NCAA has notified Ohio State University that it is facing a charge of failing to monitor its violation-plagued football program.

Failure to monitor is the second-worst finding the NCAA can impose on an athletic program.

Ohio State announced the NCAA findings this afternoon and that it would cut five scholarships over a three-year period beginning next year. The NCAA allows football programs to have 85 scholarship players.

The NCAA previously had notified OSU that it was not being accused of failure to monitor or the worst charge — loss of institutional control.

The NCAA’s move to invoke the charge now means that the NCAA considers the violations committed by Ohio State to stem from a central problem, rather than individual misdeed.

However, since that announcement, the Ohio State football program has admitted two more sets of NCAA violations involving players who accepted money at a charity event and players being paid for time they did not work at a business owned by a booster. Ohio State said today that the failure to monitor charge stems from those issues, not previous scandals involving memorabilia.

This would have been huge news a week ago.

I guarantee everybody in Columbus is looking at PSU and thinking, "Well, it could be MUCH worse."

Ohio St offers five schollies (total!) over three years. That laughing you hear from Indy is, well, laughing you hear from Indy.
