In what is becoming an almost yearly occurrence, the Ohio State football team has self-reported another couple of minor NCAA Level III infractions.
The Columbus Dispatch reported on Friday that the Buckeyes were caught using a blocking sled during offseason condition in February thanks to a picture that was posted on the team’s official Twitter account. An individual associated with another school was the one to notify Ohio State when they saw the video.
According to the documentation in the report, the infraction with the sled occurred on February 13. NCAA rules state that teams are prohibited from using equipment such as blocking sleds during certain periods within the calendar year, which is why the use of the sled on February 13 was indeed a violation.
