....in other words, he is lying his a$$ off! I mean that isn't their PC correct way of calling him a liar..
The NCAA, in a notice of allegations to the Ohio State school president last week, says football coach Jim Tressel was not honest when discovering his players were selling autographs, uniforms, championship rings and other memorabilia for money and tattoos.
The incident, which resulted in a self-imposed school fine of $250,000 and a five-game suspension for Tressel, could be considered a second offense when the NCAA hands down any discipline, according to the notice, which was delivered Friday to president Gordon Gee.
"The allegations are largely consistent with what the university self-reported to the NCAA," Ohio State said in a statement on the school's website.
The NCAA says Tressel "falsely attested" that he reported all knowledge of NCAA violations to the school.
The report also cites previous violations involving former quarterback Troy Smith, who received $500 from a booster and former men's basketball coach Jim O'Brien, who gave $6,000 to a recruit, according to The Columbus Dispatch.
Ohio State must go before the NCAA's committee on infractions Aug. 12.
NCAA rules state second-time violators face postseason levies, coaching-staff suspensions and a loss of scholarships, The Dispatch reported.
"It was reported that Jim Tressel, head football coach, failed to deport himself in accordance with the honesty and integrity normally associated with the conduct and administration of intercollegiate athletics and violated ethical-conduct legislation," the 13-page NCAA document says.
Absent from the notice was mention of a "failure to monitor" or "failure of institutional control," the most serious violations that historically have resulted in the worst penalties for programs.
"That was very significant," a source close to the investigation told the Columbus newspaper on Monday.
