NCAA says that Tressell is NOT "forthright"...

[Ronnie-]

Why should OSU be held to a higher standard than anyone else?


Sandra

They shouldnt, and they shouldnt get any less of a punishment if found to be in violation of the rules either.

It will be interesting to see how this unfolds for sure.

 

[cosmo_kramer]

After all, wasn't tOSU supposed to be better than that?

Why should OSU be held to a higher standard than anyone else?


Sandra

I think the Roll Eyes smilie answers that...

LOL I like that shirt, and the truth is I believe Penn State is one of the very few (if not only?) team that has never had an NCAA violation. Those fans can talk. Fans of the rest of the teams who are squawking should be mindful of glass houses.

Yeah, I've never been a Penn St. fan (unfortunately my 8-yr. boy is a huge fan), but JoePa has always had my respect.

Report: Feds say Ohio State players traded, sold 36 items - ESPN

Ohio State football players are alleged to have improperly traded dozens of items to the owner of a tattoo parlor, receiving tattoos, $14,000 and in one case a sport-utility vehicle, according to a newspaper report.
...
The newspaper reports that investigators say one player received a 2003 Chevy Tahoe, purchased by Rife for $3,500, in exchange for a watch and passes to the 2010 Rose Bowl.

Only the good teams. If they're cheating and they suck, they should be left alone. That's enough punishment...

The tatoos are, but I didn't think the Tahoe and $14k+ were.

If they were I had not heard of them.

There is plenty of proof that Outlaw State violated NCAA rules. For one thing, THEY ADMITTED TO DOING SO. After being caught, of course. The first 10 times Liar Tressel lied, which is what he does.

The discussion, of course, is not about holding Outlaw State to a "higher standard". It is if the NCAA will finally hold a northern historic major team to the SAME standards it has held lesser schools and southern schools to for years.

Anything short of a two year death penalty and a lifetime ban for the Liar is letting the school off easy. The shamelessness of the liar coach, whose entire career is built on cheating; the cluelessness of the school president, who destroyed athletics when he was a Vandy; and the arrogance of it fans, most of whom could not tell you where any buildings are on the campus that do not involve sports, shows how necessary a death penalty is.

Yes, the school should get the death penalty if the fans can't find the library. Makes perfect sense...

Tough talk...

Death Penalty is way to easy for Tressel and Ohio State. If he is still the coach the next season he should have to wear the other schools colors who are members of the Big Ten. A different schools' colors every week and no Ohio State colors snuck or hidden. That will teach all of the coaches how serious the NCAA is about infractions.

I don't care what ya say, That was FUNNY !!!

Looks like Tressel plans to fight the NCAA vs just taking what they impose....

And Gordon Gee and Gene Smith don't think the infractions are severe enough to fire Tressel !

 

[tigerfan33]

Tressel better hope that Marsh does a better job representing him than he did Alabama several years back. The outcome was not good.

 

[Paul Wozniak]

If I were an alumni of "that evil school from the South", I would be embarrassed that Tressel still hasn't been fired. What a great example this guy has been for the students there. If you can't see the seriousness of what is happening there, than you deserve all the scorn and derisive remarks.

Shame on you OSU.

Tressel's hole is getting deeper...

Former Ohio State wide receiver Ray Small told the school's student newspaper that he sold Big Ten championship rings and other memorabilia for cash and got special car deals as an athlete during his playing days.

The Lantern reported that Small, who played for the Buckeyes from 2006 to 2010, said "everyone was doing it" on the team.
