Title: Columbus, Ohio lawyer gets death threats. Meltdown possible.
Post by: Chechem on March 12, 2011, 07:50:02 PM
The Columbus lawyer who sent e-mails to Ohio State coach Jim Tressel last April about players selling memorabilia said he gave Tressel the names of two players -- starting quarterback Terrelle Pryor and receiver DeVier Posey -- in an interview with ESPN's "Outside the Lines."

Christopher Cicero, a walk-on player for the Buckeyes in the early 1980s, said in his first interview that it has been a stressful time since his name and e-mails to Tressel were revealed.

A fan of the Buckeyes' program, Cicero said he doesn't want to be considered the "Judas" in the controversy, and added he has received some death threats in the past few days.

And...Only when confronted with information that university officials were aware of the presence of the e-mails between Tressel and Cicero did Tressel admit to having received them, according to the source.

Tressel knew, he misled the NCAA, and now smoke is rising over Ohio State University.

Tressel is the worst Dutch bag in Ohio.

Unfortunately it seems that most schools now have fans who do extremely stupid things. And I'm not taking Alabama out of it - we have our share.  Think of all the threats that have come from Bama fans. I think it's sad that people have to react with death threats. I agree with protesting and  having your feelings out there but death threats are overboard, IMHO

"Tressel knew that his players might have committed NCAA violations. He didn't report it. He let them play knowing that their eligibility might be in question. When asked what he knew about it, he didn't tell the whole truth to Ohio State, the NCAA or anyone else."

what is the over/under on the ncaa suspending the vester ?

test case ? really ?  is this the vests first time doing this ?

We talk about mistakes and how we learn from them and to give second chances. This is the same situation.

except when this is the Vest's 2nd time doing this...maybe three times is the charm?

Well he is "the senator".  We can't expect him to start telling the truth now all of a sudden.
