*”BIG TEN BOMBSHELL: Ohio State Expelled from Conference, Forced to Join MAC in Stunning Move”*
In a shocking and unprecedented move, the Big Ten Conference has announced that Ohio State University has been expelled from the conference, effective immediately. The decision, which was made by the Big Ten Council of Presidents and Chancellors, comes as a result of alleged “repeated and egregious” violations of conference rules and regulations.
According to sources, the violations stem from a lengthy investigation into Ohio State’s athletic department, which uncovered widespread cheating, recruiting violations, and other forms of malfeasance. The investigation, which was led by the Big Ten’s own enforcement staff, reportedly found that Ohio State’s athletic department had engaged in a pattern of behavior that was “inconsistent with the values and principles of the Big Ten Conference.”
As a result of the expulsion, Ohio State will be forced to join the Mid-American Conference (MAC), effective with the 2024-25 academic year. The move is a stunning blow to the Buckeyes’ athletic program, which has long been one of the most successful and storied in the country.
“We are shocked and disappointed by the Big Ten’s decision,” said Ohio State President, Kristina M. Johnson. “We believe that the allegations against us are unfounded and unfair, and we will vigorously appeal this decision.”
The implications of Ohio State’s expulsion from the Big Ten are far-reaching and profound. The move will likely have a significant impact on the Buckeyes’ recruiting efforts, as well as their ability to compete for national championships. It will also raise questions about the future of the Big Ten Conference itself, and whether other schools will follow Ohio State out the door.
One thing is certain: the college sports landscape will never be the same again.
