Title: Finebaum Statement About Jim Tressel Yesterday
Post by: Marshal Dillon on March 10, 2011, 10:50:39 AM
The most compellng thing Finebaum said was hat no matter what, Tressel was finished at The Ohio State University. He said there's no way he can survive because his credibility was gone after lying to the college & the NCAA. Plus, the NCAA was going to come down hard due to his lying to the NCAA. Paul is usually very peceptie about these things and if the calls to his show are any indicatio, Tressel is in BIG trouble. I also think the AD and President are on the hot seat after their "performance." They have some major alumni who aren't going o be happy about this situation. Folks like Jack Nicklaus, Archie Grifin, Randy Gradishar, Clark Kellogg, Bobby Knight, John Havlicek, Judith Miller (Pulitzer Prize wining reporter), Walter Bogdanich (3 time winner of Pulitzer Prize investiative reporter),
Jeffrey Dahmer, and several CEO's of major companies. I don't think any of these folks will be out front to defend this guy. It ill be interesting to watch. I assume Paul will be rying to contact some sports radio types in Columbus, Ohio (home of the Buckeyes), to find out what they are hearing. They take this "The Ohio State University" integrity and image very seriously up there.

They took a lot of heat from the national media when they let their 5 guys play in the Sugar Bowl. If OSU and Tressel only get a slab on the hand it will not go over well.

No way Tressel gets fired.  I know Finebaum said Tressel wouldn't survive this (he gets paid to keep up controversy), but the university will not fire Tressel.  The only way he leaves is by voluntarily stepping down.  His personality doesn't make that likely.

No way. The Big Ten Commissioner and the OSU President made a huge push to help OSU with the NCAA over that incident. There won' be any help this time. They have made the NCAA look foolish.  #+

I do not think he will be fired either. I do expect them to sit him out at least 5 games (same as the players) and vacate last years wins. The OSU should also be placed on probation.

Nope, it ill end up being a Tommy Tuberville kind of "firing." Teessel will resign with a huge pile of money to take with him, but he won't be "fired."  ???

I agree. I don't see them firing him at all.

My Gone is the only thing I can think of, because does lying mean his players can do it also? Now that is a bad example if he is not fired. RTR!
