A recent article in the Columbus Dispatch noted that of the 12 previous head coaches who were caught and charged with the same allegations as Tressel, lying to the NCAA about ongoing investigations, 11 of them were fired or were forced to resign. So I guess we'll see if Ohio State is anywhere near the level of prestige they continue to claim. As usual, the cover-up is far worse than the actual crime - especially when at the center is a figure who prides himself on honesty, pride, and leadership. What are the chances that there won't be anymore incriminating facts that appear in the next couple months. Zero? Thought so.
Tressel certainly is no criminal, nor are the "Tat-5" who sold Big Ten rings and other memorabilia. It just sure seems like it will be difficult for Tressel to maintain respect moving forward.
