This is either irresponsible behavior by the staff or irresponsible journalism.
Just what is "a source close to the
OSU program"? Folks are speculating all over the place on what caused this. It can't be that hard to find a current or former player who would 'speculate' the class is getting full as an explanation without evidence to back that up as a motive.
Latest I read was that the wrong transcripts were processed by
OSU.
It is simply incomprehensible to me that Jim Tressel would sit down with his staff and say "This kid is solid academically but let's pretend he isn't and make up a story so we have room for Dennis Kennedy." I would have a hard time believing Phil Fullmer would do that let alone Jim Tressel.
