The Lions' Pride

The fact he was reaching out to the lawyers and TP's ATM machine is enough for me to pretty much write Tressel off as one of the biggest FRAUDS to ever be on the sideline of a college football game. I really hope he gets slammed as well as the school.

I have never thought the NCAA would act, but they showed the last 2 years that a big boy can get slapped. Him lying to them and the school is going to result in more than 5 games for himself. In fact the only reason I think he would keep his job is if the AD and president knew earlier and he isn't spilling the beans on them. No way any other AD or president allows the guy to lie to them and the NCAA and keep his job. He should have been fired on the spot if you think about it.

I agree he should be fired and they should take all their wins away from them for last year, and they should be put on probation.

i have really never considered myself an ohio state hater, but my days seems to go better when i see "MORE TRESSEL ALLEGATIONS" run across the bottom of the screen on espn.

Wait.............so how does this affect McGloin and Bolden?????????

No

"The Columbus Dispatch reported Monday that Tressel went on to exchange at least 12 emails with Cicero, and also had numerous lengthy telephone conversations with Sarniak over the weeks and months ahead. Tressel still did not tell any of his superiors, anyone at the NCAA or his own compliance or legal departments.

In September of 2010, Tressel even signed a mandatory and rather routine Ohio State compliance form which clearly and simply asks if he the coach has knowledge of any NCAA violations. By signing and dating it, he said that he did not."

How does anyone not get fired over this. Shady ex lawyer and the kids ATM machine get called, but not the kids parents, AD, or compliance office. Just his ATM machine...why is he begging for money was JT's question. JT knows wich ATM machine to go to for each kid I guess. Sarniak was TP's and JT was probably pissed about the poor kid having to beg or trade in gear for cash.

USC hasn't felt the full effect yet because they are appealing the decision, which delays the loss of scholarships. At least that is the story I heard.

I agree, at this point the isn't much respect for the big ten anyway, so I'm fully enjoying watching tressel and the buckeyes go down in flames.

No. I'd rather everyone played by the rules. The rest should take care of itself then.

Do you actually believe that PSU hasn't used Ineligible players in a game? We have players who have received/taken money and/or gifts among other things. EVERY program, including PSU, has crossed the line. The question that needs asked is how far across the line is too far and who decides that?
