it was announced yesterday that ohio state has self imposed sanctions on themselves for events that occurred when jim obrien was the head coach. they have given themselves a one year postseason ban. this means they will not be playing in the ncaa tournament or the nit. they did not ban themselves from participating in the conference tournament, but the big ten will probably ban them before long. the conference tournament is for an automatic bid, and it is pointless to have someone playing in it that wouldn't go to the ncaa tournament if they were to win it. it could theoretically take a bid away from another team in that conference.

correction. evidently the big ten will allow ohio state to play. they allowed michigan to play two seasons ago. it is in their bylaws that teams who are not eligible for postseason play can still participate in the tournament. if they were to win it they will forfeit their automatic bid. kind of a strange policy to have, but that's how they do it.
