Accidental text from coach’s 4-year-old son among 47 Ohio State self-reported Big Ten, NCAA violations
Ohio State self-reported 47 minor Big Ten and NCAA rules violations in 2014, including one as the result of an accidental text sent by a football coach’s 4-year-old son.

He said the selection was slowed last semester because two current band members and the interim director are involved in the search, and the football season caused time constraints. The search committee has received… Read more
