ESPN will never report it, but the Class of 2005, in addition to being an excellent football class, is outstanding academically. Tressel will, I am afraid, never get the credit he deserves for turning the football program into a high-achieving program both in the field and in the classroom. If anyone knows a fair-minded person from ESPN or other media who would be willing to consider FACTS, I would appreciate knowing so I could write. Here is the breakdown:
Jamario O’Neal: Cleveland; 3.0 GPA
Alex Boone: Cleveland; (Lakewood St. Ed’s); offers from Michigan and ND
Aaron Pettrey: Kentucky; kicker
