NCAA denies OSU appeal of suspensions

[Terrie1959]

The NCAA has denied Ohio State’s appeal on behalf of five Buckeyes football players who will be suspended for the first five games of the 2011 season for selling autographed memorabilia and receiving discounted tattoos. Coach Jim Tressel has asked that he also be suspended for the same span for not reporting the players’ involvement.

The NCAA announced the decision on Thursday night—during the midst of the first day of men’s basketball tournament.

Tressel waited 9 months to report it.  Suspend him for 9 months, plus....

I'm hoping the boos he gets on the field next year make him pull that vest over his face.

I would buy a front row seat at 411 Woody Hayes Dr, on the OSU sideline and wear BAMA gear to see that

No doubt in my mind that Tressel, AD Smith, and OSU are doing this to save their butt, improve the image of OSU, and keep Tressel from being fired.



“Coach Tressel has requested that he sit out the first five games of the 2011 season. I have accepted his request and we are taking action to notify the NCAA,” Smith said in a statement. He declined further comment.


There is no timeline for any additional actions by the NCAA regarding Tressel. Although, with the appeal being denied, the penalty for the players is now finalized.

The NCAA could vacate the 2010 season because Tressel knowingly used ineligible players.
