The NCAA announced Tuesday that Ohio State's football program will be banned from postseason competition next season as punishment for a string of violations that occurred under former coach Jim Tressel, The Columbus Dispatch reported.
The ruling means the Buckeyes will be ineligible to compete in the Big Ten Championship Game or any bowl game after the 2012 regular season under new coach Urban Meyer.
The NCAA also ruled Ohio State must forfeit nine football scholarships over the next three years. Ohio State had already self-imposed a reduction of five scholarships over that period after reporting to the NCAA illegal payments to players by a booster.
The NCAA also added a third year of probation to the school's self-imposed two-year probationary period.
