To The NCAA

An email I sent to the NCAA...................

As a sports fan for many years, I think your decision to allow the OSU players to play in the bowl game has done harm to the NCAA, OSU and sports in general. You claim that you derive no money from the bowl games, but I find that a bit of a stretch. I am inclined to think your decision was guided by the TV networks involved.

I have been on a number of OSU sites, and as avid as their fans are, they too seem to feel your decision was wrong.

I, like many of them, WILL NOT WATCH THE BOWL GAME. I intend to convey this message to the networks and the advertisers as well.

YOUR DECISION TO ALLOW THEM TO PLAY WAS COMPLETELY WRONG.

I have also heard a rumor that Coach Tressel was not going to let them play, but was advised by the AD, the President of the University and the NCAA THAT THEY WOULD PLAY.

The NCAA has raised the bar on corruption, congratulations.
