They want into the BCS Championship.

Probably the wrong category, "Humor" would be better.

But since we are skating on thin ice, do you think they have a prayer?

Question out of ignorance

The NCAA is not an arm of the government. How would a "presidential pardon" apply to the NCAA? Could the NCAA say, "Yeah they got a pardon but so what"?

Exactly, OSU has been found to have broken NCAA amateur athletic rules, not broken the law. OSU is a voluntary member of the NCAA and agrees to follow the NCAA rules and accept whatever punishment is delivered when they break the rules. If they don't like that, they can leave the NCAA.

Ohio State Fans Petition

True, humor would be the only good choice. So a school that voluntarily joins the NCAA and does not play by said NCAA rules gets upset. Wow. So the kids doing the petition do not know that the government has absolutely nothing to do with this. I question the quality of their education if they think... no that can't be... more likely just a silly stunt and even sillier if people try to make some other silly point over it. Funny-sad.
