Tressel was guilty of ethical misconduct when he knowingly provided false information to the NCAA in certifying that he knew of no potential violations by his players and failed to inform OSU officials.



Tressel = gone

This entire season should be Fickell's job interview.

I know the rule well, it's what Pearl was hit with.

If Tressel is retained, he will be the only coach in NCAA history to be hit with that charge, and not subsequently fired.

If OSU doesn't have the balls to do the right thing, ESPN and other media outlets will pile on until the staff and program collapses.

Were any coaches as remotely successful as Tress has been?

If his head was going to roll it already would have IMO.

In the end we vacate wins from 2010 (not the Sugar Bowl though), possibly a 1 year bowl ban, lose some scholarships and in 5 years Jim Tressel becomes the new AD of Ohio St.

And Pearl had a BBQ, with his current team and a couple of highschool juniors.

The coverup is the major violation.

Right, because acknowledging the violation instantly dashes any hopes of making a BCS championship game.

Take away the post season ban, add a show-cause penalty to Tressel, and you've probably nailed it.

We vacate the win, we don't forfeit the game. Michigan streak is not over. The 2010 regular season just magically didn't happen.

It'll be interesting to see if the NCAA decides to use their newly discovered "high profile athlete" distinction

True, but it still puts on a damper on it for me personally. August 12 will be a big day in Ohio.

Not sure what you mean, but the NCAA said no further punishment to the athletes will come.

That's the one thing I don't get. And I'm surprised no one has challenged it in court.

If I am the outright owner of an item, don't I have the right to do with it as I please? And then use the proceeds for any legitimate purpose, even if someone may consider it "waste"?

Did the NCAA push the matter because these kids blew their proceeds on bling, knowing the general public would probably side with them?

What if, instead of taking the money and blowing it on bling, one of the kids had sold his jersey and paid back rent to keep momma from being evicted? Would the NCAA have dared come down on him then? Or would the backlash from the public be so great that they would have backed off?
