Besides, as far as I am concerned, all of this talk about "class" and "integrity" is beside the point. I don't really care whose feelings are hurt at WVU, or who got Machiavellian at UM - I am interested to see how this move affects Ohio State, both in recruiting and in The Game....

He owes WVU nothing? This is the University that gave him a substantional raise as well as new facilities now and in the future when he went courting Alabama last year. So what does he do? According to WVU insiders he was doing the same thing now but had finally burnt too many bridges with the Athletics Dept. I have to disagree with you, the most important quality I want in a coach is integrity. The powers that be at tOSU must agree or we wouldn't have Tressel. And you say that tOSU would do the same thing as scUM if we were in the same circumstance, I would have to say I hope not. The lack of class and integrity is the POINT right now in college football because if the last few weeks have shown us anything, it's that coaches don't have to have any morals, just follow the almighty dollar. Let's remember these coaches are supposed to be shaping these student athletes, if this is the example the coaches are going to set how do you think their players are going to turn out. Let's not lose sight of the big picture here, these men are mentors and in alot of cases father figures. They need to be held to some kind of standard.
