Coots hire Ohio State compliance director...lmao....

Question

COLUMBIA, S.C. ? South Carolina has named a compliance director for several sports at Ohio State the Gamecocks' new head of compliance.

South Carolina officials said Tuesday that Chris Rogers has overseen compliance for football and six other sports at Ohio State since 2007.

Rogers takes over for Jennifer Stiles, who was demoted after her office signed off for reduced hotel rates for athletes that ended up being major NCAA violations.

The football program imposed its own penalties for the violations, eliminating six football scholarships over the next three years. The NCAA will decide if that is punishment enough at a hearing next week in Los Angeles.

The Ohio State football team has had its own problems recently with the NCAA. The Buckeyes lost scholarships and are banned from a bowl next season.

Answer 6

It's a ludicrous hire.


I emailed our AD and told him too- and he replied.


I don't care how great the resume supposedly was- it's a bad hire.

Originally posted on The Bad Apple by SGamecock3.

Answer 7

Well what did your AD say?

Originally posted on The Bad Apple by 4forcu.

Answer 8

that they talked with people from the Big 10, NCAA, and SEC and compliance people at other major schools and he was highly recommended.


My point was- and remains- it's not personal- that it's a bad move hiring someone from Ohio State right now.

Answer 12

well, OSU got caught as we all know.


I am sure he's fine personally. But it's a bad move PR wise.

Answer 13

recommended by schools that may be looking to keep the NCAA off of THEIR campus...

Originally posted on The Bad Apple by Memphis CUTigers.

Answer 14

His resume is fine.

It's just bad PR wise.

Answer 16

His resume isn't too fine.

Afterall, his former employer got caught cheating.

Originally posted on The Bad Apple by kurtfan1822.

Answer 17

well yes- but that's the good part of the hiring him.


I'm trying to stick to the bad part of hiring him because I think it was a bad hire.

Originally posted on The Bad Apple by SGamecock3.

Answer 18

yes, but it's an improvement - I don't think his former school has the title of "repeat offender" like his new employer does.

Originally posted on The Bad Apple by Memphis_CUTigers_R911.

Answer 19

I agree- what I mean is his credentials are fine (he's a lawyer, he has a master degree, he's been a compliance person at 3 universities, etc).


but yet, OSU got busted and he was right there in the offic when it happened.

That's why it's a bad hire.

Answer 20

we don't either as far as I am aware.

Answer 22

That's why I responded the way I did. We don't know the outcome yet.

We will find out fairly soon.

Originally posted on The Bad Apple by SGamecock3.

Answer 23

Though it is true we don’t know the outcome in reference to penalties, we know that you were found in violation of infractions back in 2005. We know the current investigation found multiple pages of violations, and scar offered no rebuttal to the list, simply offered self-imposed penalties/probation.

By the definition of “repeat offender” (which I believe is to be caught cheating within a 5 year period of previously being caught cheating) your school IS a repeat offender.

Answer 24

I'm not concerned with what we are called by you or anyone else. That's irrelevant.

What is relevant is what the NCAA hands down - if they tack on more penaltiies, or accept the ones proposed.

Originally posted on The Bad Apple by SGamecock3.

Answer 25

What you are being called is a title you have earned. And that it doesn't bother you as long as the punishment isn't worse than you hope speaks volumes.

Originally posted on The Bad Apple by Memphis_CUTigers.

Answer 26

The title is meaningless, especially coming from rival fan bases. It's just not an issue or concern. It would be like sitting around wondering about what the neighbor down the street thinks of the color of your newly painted dining room wall. Big deal.


The penalities are what counts.

They can call us the black sheep of the conference or the golden domers of South Carolina and it's irrelevant.

What matters is the penalities - whether they accept them or tack on more.

Originally posted on The Bad Apple by SGamecock3.

Answer 27

It's not your rivals calling you a repeat it's the NCAA and yes you do care or you wouldn't have posted about it a 100 times in the thread

Originally posted on The Bad Apple by 4forcu.

Answer 28

Rivals or the NCAA can call us whatever - it doesn't matter.

Just like USC fans call Clemson cheaters in the 1980s doesn't matter to Clemson fans. It's irrelevant.

The penalities are what matter.

Posting about our compliance director hire being a bad hire isn't the same as caring what rival fans or the NCAA call us.

Answer 29

CHEATERS at least this time you did win the other times you cheated you got nothing in return

Answer 35

no thanks. I'm not answering a question that's based on taking something totally out of context. That's not fairminded and not the basis of even a half way productive discussion.

Answer 36

I don’t think it’s out of context. You commented earlier that you didn’t know if you were a repeat offender yet because the NCAA hasn’t handed down the punishment. I stated that the repeat offender title had been earned by your school regardless of the penalty and you stated that names (titles) weren’t important ? what was important was the punishment.

This led me to believe that the punishment you face is more important than the fact that your school cheated. Thus, it didn’t bother you that you cheated, only that you got caught and may be punished.

Answer 37

What you call us- or what they call us doesn't matter to me at this point in time.

It's ludicrous to take that stateement of mine about the term they use or you use and come to the conclusion that "so, the problem isn't that you cheated, but that you got caught?"

That's an example of contextomy.


Here is an easy example for you -


If you get busted for driving 100 in a 45 and go to traffic court, I highly suspect that your chief concern - at that point- is that you were speeding in the first place. At that point, you are concerned with the outcome.

You know you were speeding. You realize you broke the law and you understand that because you've admittted it already. You've even punished yourself already because you knew you were wrong. I would suspect you are like 99% of the rest of the human race as you stand there, and are at that point, only concerned about the penalty.

and I seriously doubt that you'd easily accept the ludicrous accusation from someone else that you really didn't care about anything other than the fact you got caught.

I'd imagine if someone said that to you - you'd feel they were unfairly taking you out of context.

but I realize on a message board it doesn't work that way.
