Jim Tressel stepping down? Fired?

[manchild24]

I don't hate Ohio State.

I just don't care for Tressel at all.

Oh, I thought cause you are a Notre Dame fan

 

[ram29jackson]

where has it been proven that Tressel lied about anything ?

he may have ignored it because the players did something on their own and he doesnt need to baby-sit them. He let them suffer the consequences as opposed to hiding it.

The fact is Ohio State has not implied getting rid of him in any way.

...and this is really trivial for a violation anyway.

I thought I only read and heard what I wanted to but you took the cake on this one.

It says ALLEGES, not Proven.

The article never said Ohio State is getting rid of him or hinted that they may get rid of him. It said "The NCAA could accept Ohio State’s suggestion of sanctions—the five-game suspension and the fine—or could levy much more severe penalties. Since the NCAA says that Tressel knowingly used ineligible players, it would seem probable that the 2010 regular season would be vacated—ending the Buckeyes’ run of Big Ten titles at six in a row. The NCAA could also come down hard on Tressel, compelling Ohio State to add to Tressel’s suspension or issue sanctions leading to the school firing him."

I am.

He got the emails in April telling him about the violations and even took steps to correct it. That's been proven and he admitted it.

He then signed an NCAA compliance waiver in September that basically said he wasn't aware of any violations by players...when he was.

That'd be a lie.

Did you read the stroy bruh?

no , I didnt read the story because I have more important things on my mind.

these violations are so trivial that the school doesn't care and it wont affect his job. and the penalty is ridiculously steep for this crap haha....whats a stroy?

Sounds like you already know.

Great. You think they are trivial.

What's a haha?

Fact is Tressel stood idly by while he let players who should have been ruled ineligible, play because it was in the best interest of him winning games.

Sure the NCAA is ridiculous, but coaches who lie and break the rules should be punished.

The violation may or may not be trivial, but its not up to Tressel to decide.

 

[BrntO4Life]

Wow, so I guess the NCAA has come out and finally formally charged Tressel.

Is the NCAA going to open up a permanent branch in Columbus?

Fuck that, they aren't the champs in anyone's mind in 05, 08 and last season. Penn State and Wisconsin both beat that ass and were the true Big Ten champions.

Co-titles are fucking retarded.

actually, it is up to him.

the NCAA allows schools to discipline themselves as felt needed,
before they start meddling. Tressel could be called a liar but he also may have thought- let the chips fall where they may, I'm sick of covering for kids messing around...?

Fixed.

Whoa, better keep the Ohio State players away from sharp objects...Tressel is such a disciplinarian! "I'm so sick and tired of these kids messing around, instead of disciplining them or, at the very least, reporting their transgressions to the authorities...I'M GOING TO LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY! That will teach them once and for all. No more Mr. Nice Guy."

I take it you aren't a parent? Or are you like the beatnik Ned Flanders parent?

 

[manchild24]

The chips are falling where they may - "fuck! I crapped out"

 

[BrntO4Life]

I've come to the conclusion that Tressel must be an idiot and a scumbag.




I can't think of a more perfect place for him. Except maybe Auburn.

parenting kids doesnt have anything to do with this.

Youre thinking waaaay too much about it. I dont really care about this, its happening quite often now. The fact is NCAA football is pretty much a semi pro league now and all these NCAA rules are pointless, stupid and ineffective, because every college is passing money one way or another. The schools that arent, are not in the top 40 or wont get there....

This thread was three months early...

This thread was three months early...

I think the argument to be made is that Tressel resigned three months late.
