"Inconsistency of that penalty still bothers me": Urban Meyer slams NCAA over 2010 Ohio State scandal fallout
Image Source: Getty Urban Meyer, the former Ohio State head coach, has a few particular things he wishes NCAA officials would have done differently in responding to the infamous 2010 tattoo scandal that nearly sunk the Buckeyes program. He inherited the fallout from the scandal, one that started in 2010 but went on long after Meyer got to Columbus, including a 2012 postseason ban that expunged any shot Meyer and an undefeated Buckeyes team had at competing for the national title. In a recent interview on The Triple Option podcast, Meyer said the sanctions were too severe, notably since the violations (trading memorabilia for tattoos) had nothing to do with competitive advantage, but rather were inherently subjective. Urban Meyer says there was no competitive advantage for Ohio State The crux of the problem at hand, a few players trading memorabilia for ink, played no role in the Buckeyes' on-field success, Meyer said, 'Competitive advantage: zero' because such things did not enhance performance or provide an advantage in terms of recruiting, he stressed. The controversy did not concern boosters or excessive inducements during the recruitment process, or even tampering, merely players exchanging souvenirs for tattoos. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like One of the Most Successful Investors of All Time, Warren Buffett, Recommends: 5 Books for Turning... Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Click Here Undo He also noted that the situation was overblown in hindsight. 'There were some players trading… memorabilia for tattoos. That's it,' he said, suggesting that the national furor and NCAA response far exceeded the offense. In the current NIL landscape, that type of activity hardly raises an eyebrow. Meyer argued that it did not give Ohio State an advantage in winning games or securing the best players. NCAA's harsh penalties cost Ohio State a national championship run The scandal also led to Ohio State vacating all 12 wins from the 2010 season and imposed a postseason ban that impacted the 2012 team, Meyer's first season in Columbus. That team was undefeated, but was ineligible to play for a national title. Meyer noted that his team missed the so-called football glory by pointing out that 'we would have played Notre Dame.'

While it was still wrong the way Tressel handled it, Meyer felt that the punishment was too much, especially at a time when players are profiting off their name, image, and likeness so openly. 'The inconsistency of that penalty, to this day, still bothers me,' Meyer said, lamenting how quickly guidelines for college football have adjusted since that time.

LeBron James is very 'intrigued' by different goaltending rules in basketball
LeBron James (Image via Getty Images) LeBron James has completed 22 seasons in the NBA and played for the Olympics as a member of the United States team four times. And over the years, he has seen many rules change and evolve as the game itself has evolved with time. And one such rule that he would like to see changed is that of goaltending. The rules for goaltending in the NBA and the international games that he has played as a member of the United States team are vastly different, and James thinks this change could be implemented in the NBA. LeBron James would like to see some changes in the rules in the NBA When it comes to goaltending, in international play a player can knock the ball off the rim if it's bouncing around during a bucket. But if the same happened in the NBA, the basket would count. This is one rule that the Los Angeles Lakers star player, LeBron James thinks could be changed in the league. Recently, during his latest Mind the Game podcast episode with co-host Steve Nash, James said: "I've been very intrigued with the goaltending rule. I actually love it. I love it. It's exciting." LeBron James & Steve Nash Answer Fans Burning Questions | MIND THE GAME He further added that while it's not a common occurrence, this change could bring some excitement to the game. "It doesn't happen as much as you would think. Even when you're playing against the international guys and this is their rule, sometimes the ball is tinkering around the rim and they just kind of…" It could bring some animation to the game, as a bucket could very well be thwarted if defensive players take the chance in these situations. Whether the NBA brings this change into the game or not is a completely different aspect, but James does make a good point. Is LeBron James staying with the Los Angeles Lakers next season? LeBron James has completed 22 seasons in the NBA, and with what fans have learned so far, he will be playing his 23rd season in the league as well. Whether he stays with the Los Angeles Lakers or shifts his allegiance elsewhere is the question in everyone's mind at the moment. The Lakers themselves are in for some big changes over the summer, as the Buss family is selling the LA team to Mark Walter, CEO of TWG Global and co-owner of the Dodgers, for a staggering $10 billion. With that happening right now, whether LeBron James stays or goes will be something to witness in the near future.

Dwyane Wade's wife Gabrielle Union breaks silence as LGBTQ+ lifeline faces shutdown
(Image Source - Getty Images) Hollywood actress and producer Gabrielle Union has drawn attention to a worrying development involving LGBTQ+ mental health services in the United States. On June 19, Union shared an Instagram Story highlighting a post about the upcoming shutdown of the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline's LGBTQ+ youth option, scheduled for July 17, under the Trump administration. Gabrielle Union raises red flag on upcoming LGBTQ+ hotline shutdown On June 19, Gabrielle Union reposted a message from Anthony 'Kaz' (@lqvekanthony) on her Instagram story. Kaz had shared a post on X (formerly Twitter) warning that the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline's LGBTQ+ support line (Press 3) will be shut down on July 17, 2025, by the Trump administration. In his post, Kaz wrote, 'The Trevor Project can be reached directly at 1‑866‑488‑7386, even when this is going to be gone. Please share to possibly save someone's life.' Gabrielle Union didn't add extra words but her repost helped alert many people. She made sure her followers, many of them young and active, saw it. Even without a caption, her share made a big impact. Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade stand by LGBTQ+ youth This is not the first time Gabrielle Union has risen for the LGBTQ+ community. In fact, it is something she does often - quiet, firm and with love. Alongside her husband, former NBA star Dwyane Wade, Gabrielle has always made it clear: Their support for their daughter, Zaya Wade, who came out as transgender in 2020, is unconditional. (Image Source - @gabunion) Gabrielle doesn't just speak when it's easy. She uses her voice when she matters the most. Whether it is sharing stories, showing on events, or supporting organizations such as Trevor Projects, she shows up for those who are often unheard.

Her decision to pass along that message was its own kind of call to action a way of telling her millions of followers: don't look away. Stay alert. Help if you can. And in that one small post, she reminded people of something big: The Trevor Project's direct line, 1‑866‑488‑7386, is still active. Even if part of the system goes quiet, help is still out there.
