The talk shows are full of this story today.  I like this quote from your posted article; sums it up:

"In those periods when he had an opportunity and a duty to disclose, he failed to do so.  I think the NCAA could also come back and add failure to monitor or failure to promote an atmosphere of compliance."

Yeah. I liked that and the fact that NO coach who has covered up and lied to the NCAA has kept his job. I really think the OSU alumni will prove more pivotal in his "retirement." The pressure will be unbearable, hat's the point Finebaum was making. The overwhelming media attention and pressure along with the NCAA will make Tressel leave, one way or another.

This sounds as if the lawyers are going to be busy for a long time. You know by the time all this drags out Jim Tressels's name will be dragged through the mud he may jusy quit. This is something that could kill a coach and I see how. RTR!

When opposing coaches step down I often wring my hands with glee (guilty glee), but in this case I want him down for being deceitful and a liar.  I thought he was honest and a great coach.  Now I see he's only the latter.  "He won't be missed" (Razor's Edge).

I think we will get the usual PR bullsheet. Tressel will anounce his "resignation" for the good of The Ohio State University, which will lead me to barf after hearing such garbage.  :o
