It's called a national championship and another one is on the way.

Keith Jackson speaks on Tressel:
On Tressel abstaining from voting:
Quote:
"I think Tressel did the right thing," he replies.
That would be Ohio State's Jim Tressel, who abstained from voting in the final USA Today poll. Jackson says he will follow that example.

On who got his #1 vote for Coach of the Year:

My Coach of the Year vote went to Tressel, whose Buckeyes thrived despite losing five first-round draft picks to the NFL.

Clause for concern? Title gets Tressel a new deal
Friday, December 22, 2006 Doug Lesmerises
Plain Dealer Reporter
Columbus- If Ohio State wins the national championship on Jan. 8 and confetti fills the sky at University of Phoenix Stadium, look a little closer. Little pieces of Jim Tressel's contract might be floating through the air.
Section 3.4 of the contract Tressel signed in May includes a clause that voids the agreement if he wins the BCS national title game.
It reads in part, "Coach and the University agree to begin negotiating, in good faith, the terms for a new employment agreement that would supersede this Agreement."
Continued....

ESPN questioned why he would want such a clause and JT apparently said he was not even aware that it was in there.
In a different interview, JT said that he studied enough film on our kicker that he realized if he takes 6 1/2 steps (instead of 7), he gets more yards on each kick off.
Call me crazy, but I have a hard time believing that a man that meticulous didn't bother to know every word in his contract. Not trying at all to start a [censored] storm here, but why would JT want that clause in his contract? Possibly a standard thing just to keep your options open?
Edit- here is JT's quote fromthe article...
"I didn't even know it was in there," Tressel said Thursday of the clause.
"I guess that's just one of those things, I'm not sure. But I know I'm right where I want to be. How's that?"

I'm sure he is aware it is in the contract, but was probably his way of avoiding a true answer.
My guess is that it is in there because it was suggested by his agent (removes some barriers from other offers, shich creates more leverage), and he deffered to his agents advice.
