Ohio State's Jim Tressel did 'unacceptable' job in reporting violations - ESPN

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- An evaluation of former Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel's job performance in 2005-06 rated him as "unacceptable" in self-reporting violations in a timely manner.

Records released Friday by the university as part of a public-records request show that Tressel, forced to resign on May 30 for knowing about NCAA violations and then covering them up, was graded "excellent" in 10 of the 12 areas in the evaluation.

Yet the unsigned NCAA-Ohio State evaluation form also rated Tressel unacceptable in self-reporting violations and in "timely and accurate completion of phone and unofficial visit logs."

Tressel lost his job after it was discovered he knew players received improper benefits in April 2010, but did not report them to his superiors or NCAA compliance officers until confronted with the evidence in January.

Death penalty! Death penalty! Death penalty!

Not a surprise

Unless OSU is not cooperating with the NCAA investigation (& turns out to have a school fund paying student athletes) then theyll get nothing near that

So far, seems like OSU is doing quite a bit to make sure they do the former in some way or another TOP

Tressel deserves this, but it certainly seems like OSU is more than happy to throw him under the bus.

Those are nothing relative to his Youngstown issues.

tOSU could have given recruits bentleys and summer homes in the Italian riviera and they wouldn't get the death penalty. NCAA's version of too big to fail.

Goes back to the no man bigger than the University concept. Good avatar change.
