"In addition, we had a conversation with league officials to apprise them of the details of Coach Tressel's employment and the issues we were reviewing,"

Polian said questions surfaced after the announcement of Tressel's hiring "with respect to the equity of his appointment as opposed to suspensions being served this season by present and former Ohio State players."

"We have informed the league office of our decision and expect that they will be supportive of it,"...." We are very happy Coach Tressel will be joining us."
