Re: NCAA tells Ohio State it finds no new violations; won't face 'failure to monitor'

I'm torn. I'm glad they didnt get hit with the failure to control hammer. But, at the same time I'm annoyed that Gee and Smith skate with Tress taking 100% of the blame...those liars knew.

I am not 100% sure gee and smith knew. Tressell is still being held as a hero in Columbus and I just dont get that. All along I said Tressell committed the ultimate sin in lying to the NCAA but none of the fans cared because he won. I never saw evidence that Gee or Smith know. I hope the fired Tressell in time that the NCAA doesnt go beyond the self imposed sanctions. I really dont want to see my 2nd favorite school take a hit...especially when my alma matter sucks so bad, lol

I lost some respect for Ohio State. Anyone who thinks that NOBODY in the administration knew is naive. They threw Tressel under the bus and tried to save their own asses, and it worked.

I am not an OSU fan, but i am not 100% sure they knew. Tressel lied to the NCAA and to the OSU Admin. I dont think they threw him under the bus at all. I think the exact opposite, the kept Tressel to long. This is not much different that what happened at the end of Tressel's YSU tenure. Difference being YSU isnt under the OSU microscope.

If Gee and Smith did anything wrong is that they valued Tressel's winning percentage and falsely perceived image way too much and stuck by him for too long.

So someone more informed than me help me out...

Does this mean vacating last years wins is the only penalty?

Would love to know your feeling about Auburn and Oregon, then.

NCAA dealt with facts they knew to be true. ESPiN and SI went with hearsay and dramatization.

Makes me so excited for August 12th. No postseason band, and an outside shot at no schollies lost. I can hear to moaning from Bristol to LA.

So far all of OSU's penalties are self imposed. They vacated the 2010 season and gave themselves 2 years probation. Without a failure to monitor charge, the NCAA is not going to give a postseason ban. The NCAA may decide to add more years to the probation. It is also possible that they may add scholarship losses as well. There will be a hearing on August 12 and sometime in October, OSU will know the full extent of the sanctions. This is all barring any new developments of course.

This.

Had Tress not resigned, the big debate would be if he got the "show cause" which would basically result in him getting fired. Now the big question will be how few schollies OSU loses.

I've never understood this mistake: Auburn and Oregon are still being investigated by the NCAA. The amount of coverage this process receives from ESPN has no bearing on it. ESPN and SI went overboard on the coverage of tOSU, but the NCAA investigation seemed unphased by the increased hype.

Can we stop pretending that the NCAA investigations committee and ESPN are the same entity?

Tressel signed a piece of paper. a standardized form that made that declaration along with 100 others.

who in the fuck cares about the Ncaa anyways. Tressel lost his job for what he did. He screwed up and paid the piper. 10 years from now he will be honored as a great buckeye as he should be.

I can see them losing a few scholarships for a a year or two. dont see them doing much else.

Well, throwing Tressel under the bus works out for Ohio State.

I'm happy that Ohio State's fans don't get punished, but...yeah, Gee and Smith are a bunch of clowns and should be fired for allowing this bullshit to happen under their watch. Let's not forget, Tressel wasn't the only coach named in the report, and yet somehow Gee and Smith never knew.

Thanks Jimmy. Glad you could jump on the grenade to save the rest of us. See ya back on the Ohio State Campus in 5-10 years.
