Hey dumb [Mark May], what was the main reason for Tressel's inaction again? That's right, to protect the players. The federal drug investigation was still in full force until December 2010, at which point the players were cleared...then JT fully cooperated. What part don't you and the media dumb asses understand?

So random thought... I wonder if the NCAA would allow any of our seniors next year to transfer to an FBS school without having to sit out a year so that they can play in a bowl game, similar to what they did for USC's juniors and seniors. I could see this being a potential positive for three reasons:


  1. It lets some seniors who may not have gotten a lot of playing time this year transfer to another D1 school without sitting out, and allows them to play in a bowl game, as well as if playing in a bowl game their senior year is really important to any players giving them that opportunity
  2. Providing the opportunity for some young players to get some playing time in a season where there is no downside to getting experience for those young guys
  3. Based on the NCAA's wording in the ruling I don't know if they would let us do this, but potentially allow us to take more than 3 scholarship reductions this year and have more schollies to give in future years
I don't know if any seniors would want to go this route, but I think its an intriguing thought.

I was referring to the rather interesting decision to say that to a respected admin like Jeff, not the merits - as it were - of the post.

But a good point.

I think he was actually responding to Jake. But, none-the-less, his response is childish...regardless of who he was addressing...not to mention, quite possibly, a little naive.

First point, infraction for calling another poster a "dumb shit".

Second point, it is truly ignorant to think that Tressel was trying to protect his players. There was no evidence that any players were in any way threatened by anybody or anything. And if Tressel really felt that they were threatened, he should have contacted law enforcement, or at the very least, his own attorney to get some legal advice on the matter. And the FBI never issued any kind of gag or restraining order on Tressel, or had any other form of contact with him.

Third point, after Tatgate broke in early December of 2010, Tressel should immediately have come clean about the Cicero emails. Instead, those emails were only discovered by Ohio State compliance officers during a subsequent unrelated document request.

I agree with LJB and Jaxbuck -- this situation was created by Tressel and folks need to quit blaming everyone else.

The bowl ban should have been expected (the NCAA was embarrassed by letting those players play in the Sugar Bowl) and it was absolute incompetence to only research the past few years to see what the NCAA has done. Next we will find out they only used Wikipedia to do the research.

That would actually be comforting to me considering what's going through my head, Re: Gene Smith's "research", at the moment.

You sound just like the people on the Ped State boards: twisting facts, blurring time lines and pulling facts straight out of your ass in order to cling dearly to your preconceived notion about a football coach.

If Tressel had fully cooperated in December, why was the story of him covering things up broken in March?





That's rhetorical, I don't really need an answer from anyone. Just might want to think about the facts before you spout off and start calling names.
