Re: NCAA tells Ohio State it finds no new violations; won't face 'failure to monitor'
Ive already stated Tressel made a poor decision in signing a document without presenting it to his attorney first. People sign shit all the time with legalese that dont mean shit and rarely hold up in court..
I assure you no evidence will be presented of any memorbilia being signed and traded for tats by current OSU players since april.and tressel had a longstanding track record of reporting secondary violations.
It took 9 months for the Fbi Investigation to complete and send the approiate letter to the Ohio State University. It means that if Tressel had forwarded the information nothing would of happened until the investigation was complete.
Even the e mails show clearly that once they arrested rife and began prosecution nothing was going to be released to anyone.
The players would not likely have been suspended under these circumstances.
Tressel did two things wrong. he didnt forward the information.
He signed the wrong paper
He has been fired. It was his mistake. players are being treated as ineligible for games that noone would of had the informatin they needed to take action anyways had he had forwarded.
3 years probation 5 scholarships for two years seems like a rather stern penalty for what actually happened. I dont see anything more extensive.
None of these penalties would be for the players profiting on NCAA trademarked merchandise. They got five games for that. Im not sure how you can construe Tressel losing his job over the ordeal to be shirking penalties? that was the ultimate penalty.
As an Institution OSU had no culpability. and acted with a conscice manner not many University Compliance departments are capable of.
the NCAA has already ruled there was no lack of institutional control and maybe you dont realize that if OHio state gets an overly harsh penalty. they can forget about Universities self reporting. Imposing their own penalties and taking extra measures to stay within the NCAA guidelines. Other Universities will take notice and ask themselves if they need to shoot their own foot off when dealing with the NCAA.
Parents selling kids to schools, Schools funneling money to fake scouting rporting agencies whose sole purpose is to recruit kids. PLayers getting paid for stuff they dont own.
Those are the NCAA enemies right now. The message to coaches are loud and clear. If you sign false statements. youll get fired. NCAA couldnt hope for a better message.
politically, situationally, and common sense wise death penalties and bowl bans were media sensationalizing
Just showing that even when a major program recieves a major blow it can come back relatively quickly.
And you are obviously in denial about Tressell lying. So he didnt sign the compliance letter stating he had no knowledge of any violations months after receiving the email? oh wait, he was worried about the federal investigation.
Some of you homers just dont get it on Tressell. The major issue isnt the violation the players committed, its the fact he knew for 9 months and never went to the NCAA or the university officials. The only reason he ended up confessing was because he got caught. He should have been fired a month before he was actually fired and that in my guess costs the university scholarships for sticking by Tressell to long.
Any argument about memorabilia or pay the players or any crap like that is just completely arguing off the subject. The major violation is the fact the head coach hid the fact he knew players were ineligible and he let them play. How they became ineligible is not important.
Bottom line Tressel fucked up big time and hopefully it doesnt cost the university much more than a few scholarships. I am guessing it will be more than 5. Especially since the coach is no longer around to punish.
