Jim Tressel May Have Lied to NCAA & Ohio State

[Chechem]

Just crap.  If the NZAA lets OSU get by with this, the rest of the schools might as well ignore the rules.

It goes byond that, they can never deny the bias they have towards Southern schools, including the likes of Miami, FSU, the entire SEC, and probably most of the Texas schools and Oklahoma. This really irks me in the worst way. All their self-righteous, holier-than-thou talk about following the rules, hammering schools in the South, and looking their nose down at the same schools, is so disgusting. The NCAA HAS to do something relevant or they will have ZERO credibility. I hope ESPN, Finebaum, Rome, Cowherd, and the rest are unmerciful towards Ohio State and the NCAA over this matter.

Hey Chechem you are right but think about it, OSU has not had a penalty since in the early 70's that I know of. It's not going to be much no matter, because of the bias. RTR!

Bodog.com odds on whether NCAA adds more games to Jim Tressel suspension: Yes -300, No +200. For entertainment purposes only, of course.

Finebaum has spent the first hour and a half talking about NOTHING but the Tressel story.  Sportswriters and callers have been hammering Tressel and the OSU President for joking about it. 

Tressel's knowledge of the incident was exposed when the university compliance people searched through Tressel's email for information to use in their appeal of the player suspension.  Tressel was pissed that his email was being read.

I posted the Emails in another thread...OOPS

I can fix it. 

[Chechem]

Thanks, NC.  I was just commenting about Finebaum's show on the other thread.  This mess is NOT what Ohio State tried to sell last night.

[Chechem]

Danny Sheridan tweet (per Finebaum) "odds are Tressel gets more time in suspension, plus OSU loses scholarships."

[Chechem]

Now on Finebaum, caller is trashing OSU Athletic Director for dismissing the serious nature of this violation.  Caller points out that AD had Notre Dame connections (grad there), and caller said, "Embarrassment to ND as well."

[Chechem]

Finebaum suggesting now:

1. OSU will lose all games from last year;
2. OSU will lose bowl victory against Arky;
3. Tressel will have to step down.

[navychief]

I believe the NCAA will give Ohio State the other 90 percent of the penalties coming to them.

I believe the NCAA will give Ohio State the other 90 percent of the penalties coming to them.

I hope so.  Joe Schad (ESPN just now) said he doesn't think the NCAA will complete its investigation of this before next season; OSU will have to decide whether to end the suspension after just 2 games.  He suggested that OSU might get further input from NCAA as guidance on what other punishment should come.

[Chechem]

Caller after caller (many OSU fans) is suggesting Tressel's firing.  They feel like they were misled by the image of Tressel being "squeaky clean".  One OSU fan just said, "Why would you send your kid to OSU after this?"
