Ohio Lawmaker Wants 2010 Ohio State ‘Tattoogate’ Wins Reinstated Amid NIL Rule

In 2011, the NCAA vacated wins from the 2010 Ohio State football team as a punishment for players selling championship rings, awards and gear in exchange for money and tattoos.

Now, an Ohio lawmaker wants those wins back.

Rep. Brian Stewart, a republican and Ohio State graduate, is sponsoring a resolution that would reinstate all of Ohio State’s wins from the 2010 football season.

Stewart said this scandal would never happen now since the NCAA passed it’s new Name, Image and Likeness rule.

“This resolution does not say anything about the sanctions,” Stewart said, via Mary Jane Sanese of The Columbus Dispatch.
