You mean, after they leave school, right?? Otherwise, when you consider the overall graduation rate of NCAA student athletes the penalties may never be repaid...![]()

Yeah, you wouldn't hear ignorant crap like this from anyone in Colorado, would you? No uneducated fools there.Sounds like something an uneducated fool would say.
"The south will rise again!"
"Damn northeners!"
.Now exposed that he was actually in communication with one of the player's "mentor" (street agent) about how to cover things up.
An SI.com study of the past 177 NCAA infractions cases involving violations of Bylaw 10.1 revealed that coaches accused of such violations rarely retain their jobs.
Of the 177 cases, 172 involved coaches or athletic administrators accused of committing unethical conduct. Of those, 159 resigned or were terminated. Eighty-one cases involved coaches or athletics administrators accused of providing false or misleading information to NCAA investigators or encouraging others to lie to investigators. Of those, 78 resigned or were terminated.
Unfortunately the coverup is worse than the crime. If he had reported it in the beginning, they would have gotten the same thing as AJ Green did for UGA, but since Tressel wanted to avoid that same penalty, he actively covered things up, and because of it OSU will pay the price.Poor Tressel. I hate to see this happen. The guy seems to have been trying to protect his players over a pretty trivial violation if you ask me (I'm sure those "out-for-blood" coach potatoes who enjoy seeing this happen to others will say different).
I know. Rules are rules, and all that. Just hate to see a good man go down over something like this. Whole thing seems out of perspective...just like the rules of the NCAA.Unfortunately the coverup is worse than the crime.

Hmmm...In your alternate universe, do you breathe air, or water?There really are two posibilities. If an appropriate penalty is applied, no name coach will be interested. Probably a semi-caretaker and then go for a name after he goes. If they get off easy, then they will hire another I-AAer, probably one with clear indications of a propensity to break the rules, and resume cheating.

This is a huge black-eye to a program that prides itself on being one of the elite. I doubt that the powers that be will turn a blind-eye to the background of the next hire...if that's what it comes down to.
See University of Auburn.Makes you wonder how they got to be elite after all this.
See University of Auburn.
Yeah, it takes many decades of cheating to get to the level of success that Bear Bryant acheived.Auburn elite?
They won the NC this year, but I wouldnt put them in the Elite club. High level sure, but not elite, not yet.
