In a surprising turn of events, lawmakers in Ohio are urging the NCAA to reinstate Ohio State’s record from the 2010 college football season.
The Buckeyes’ wins from the 2010 season were vacated because of “Tattoogate.” Several players sold championship rings, awards and gear in exchange for money and tattoos.
Although a strong argument can be made that Ohio State’s wins from the 2010 season should count, the college football world just can’t believe that Ohio lawmakers are spending time on this subject.
“Thank goodness Ohio lawmakers are spending time on things that really matter,” Bruce Hooley of 98.9 FM The Answer said.

The discipline that Ohio State’s 2010 team received has been heavily discussed since the NCAA changed its rules for players profiting off their name, image and likeness.
Only time will tell if the Buckeyes’ wins are reinstated.
