Death Penalty.

Dear NCAA,
We, the undersigned, strongly believe that the action depicted in this photo qualifies as an "improper benefit" for the Ohio State student-athletes pictured.

The shirt was clearly thrown into a section of the crowd solely populated solely by student-athletes, therefore making it a benefit not available to the student body on the whole.

We believe this could qualify as a "Major" violation because of the quality of the merchandise involved. That t-shirt appears to be made of good material-- witness the fact that it is holding its shape despite being fought over by three men. It is our estimate that the T-shirt in question must be worth a minimum of $10,000.

We ask that in the name of sportsmanship, you please see fit to ban all of those players immediately from all future NCAA competition.

If for some reason you're only able to ban one of them, please make it Troy Smith. We ask this not because he seems to list "beating the everliving hell out of Michigan" at the top of his list of hobbies, but because he is the only one singled out by name in the caption, therefore making him the most serious violater.

Thanks for your prompt attention. We look forward to seeing the jack-booted heel of NCAA justice come crashing down on these soon-to-be-former student-athletes as swiftly as possible.

Sincerely,
Lloyd Carr & Michigan fans everywhere
