Three separate cases in the last year that have resulted in Ohio State football players being suspended hasn't humbled school president E. Gordon Gee.

Speaking at his annual fall address to faculty, Gee said that the school is doing all the right things in regard to following rules.

"We are the poster child for compliance, and whenever we discover a possible infraction, we resolve and report it to the NCAA, no matter how minor the violation. That's what we have done here," Gee said.

The latest incident came to light this week and involve wide receiver DeVier Posey, running back Dan Herron and one other player receiving inflated compensation for summer jobs.

Posey and Herron were already two of five players suspended five games last December for selling of memorabilia and receiving impermissible benefits. The fallout from that case led to quarterback Terrelle Pryor leaving for the NFL's supplemental draft and coach Jim Tressel tendering his resignation last May.

Three other players missed the first two games of the season for being paid at a charity event.

Despite all the incidents that have left the school facing NCAA punishment, Gee is unequivocal in his support of athletic director Gene Smith.

"I think we are blessed to have an extraordinarily talented athletic director who has proven his mettle through an extraordinarily tough time," he said.
