I took it as Tressel informed others, but is taking the fall.

Wouldn't it be easier for Smith to take the fall?

It just strikes me as strange because I keep hearing speculation that Tressel is taking the fall and will become the AD in a few years.

It just seem counter-productive to have the Tressel take the fall and then ascend to the AD position later.

I think Ohio State finding the emails in Tressel's account eliminated any chance of that.

It's in Tress's contract that he has an asst. AD job after he retires. They'd have to fire him or not hire him violate the contract.

I think they have TD.com study hall time.

Not sure tho, I think they go to Dublin schools. They should be smarter then they appear to be on here.

I would have a difficult time believing this. Who would be the more convenient fall guy? Not Tressell.

I doubt the punishment will be horrible, but may really put the crimp on this season.

at least we're standing by our team in coach in a time of need.not trying to buddy up with people in the south like some buckeye fans on here.

So in your opinion, it's better to put one guy over the schools reputation and the football program as a whole.

Good to see where you stand.

That wouldn't really make sense. Why the hell would he do that?

I'm not sure how someone could think that would be a good idea. I'm thinking this situation is going to end any chance Tressel has at being an athletic director.

Sure it would. We avoid lack of institutional control and he still gets his assistant AD position.

He would give up his job and his reputation for the title of assistant AD? That doesn't sound right.

Or he's trying to look out for the future of the football program by eating the sanctions and all the hate he takes for a lessor suspension.

Not saying this is why and that it actually happened. But I think it's bullshite the only people that Tressel made aware of this were the FBI, Cicero, and TP's mentor.

I'm sorry, but I just don't buy that. If he was about coming clean, he would have just suspended the players immediately.

I'm talking around December. Not immediately when he found out.

In my opinion Tressell needs to resign and the sooner the better. The NCAA is going to hold out on this until August....just before the start to the 2011 season. I think they could feel compelled to make a "statement", and may put the hammer down hard unless OSU shows they don't condone Tressell's lying.
