Is it illegal for the school to provide legal council if it's an NCAA issue that directly involves the school? I have no idea how the rules work here

My first thought as well. The lawyers would seem to be representing the interest of OSU as well.

I mean its illegal for a coach to pay for popeyes for a recruit I would think paying for a lawyer for the players would be a step over the line as well. Some NCAA rules are ridiculous but when you are already in trouble I think its best to air on the side of not outright paying for anything till it settles down a bit

I think its a little soon for this headline. The source is the Student Newspaper? I would think that they would have checked the rules before doing this, in fact I would bet on it.

With 3 losses and road trips to #16 Illinois & #11 Michigan & home games against Wisconsin & Penn State- they should have self imposed a bowl ban for this year.

The allegations are against the players and Ohio St - they can pay legally for those services

LSU and the bar brawl, that was totally different, LSU cannot pay for representation on a personal legal matter.

Although there has been talk that the lawyer is going after the bar and possibly LSU but I don't know how much merit that will have since he was kicked out of the bar and the last I checked Shady's and the parking lot were not on the LSU campus.

I was pretty sure this was the case but wasn't going to say shite until I got off work to check. I could only imagine the type of representation college athletes would get if they had to be the ones responsible for payment.

Since that doesn't effect eligiblity I don't think LSU can pay for consel for the players even if they try to come after the university. But I could be wrong.

Either way, Ohio State did nothing wrong here.
