Coach Urban Meyer wishing recruit Noah Spence “Good luck” before his state championship game in December. That sort of contact on game day violates the bylaws.
— Assistant football coach Mike Vrabel used smokeless tobacco on the sidelines during games. According to the documents obtained by the paper, OSU got an anonymous tip from an area health teacher. The NCAA forbids tobacco use during games or practices.
— Football staff member Kirk Barton ordered 20 “JT” bracelets for $5 each for players to wear in honor of Tressel. Barton sold the bracelets for $15 to ensure he’d stay clear of the NCAA. It wasn’t good enough, because players had access to something not available to the general public.
— On Aug. 20, a parent of a recruit sent a text message to assistant coach Dick Tressel to ask which gate the parent should use to enter the stadium for a scrimmage. The coach responded, but texting the parents of a recruit is a violation.
— In December of 2010, five players took five recruits to a movie. The cab ride the players used, however, took them $1 to $5 over the maximum of $60 spending money.
