Tressel's the greatest coach they had in modern memory. Boy, did their AD really botch this situation. Look at what Tressel was able to do with his talent! They're going to have to put the black curtains up around the upper deck for years because of this. Riding out the sanctions would have been worth it to keep him.

With the inquiry that has just started on Pryor, keeping Tressel would have simply been asking the NCAA to shut down tOSU's football program.

Were you in favor of riding out any possible sanctions to keep Pearl too?

lol, no. Maybe a punishment similar to USC's, but nothing much worse than that. Plus, keep in mind we are talking about THE ohio state university, not some po-dunk school in Dallas, TX.

Emmert is no Myles Brand. Not only were tOSU's violations worse, IMO, than USCs, but Tressel's continued lying to the NCAA happened under Emmert's watch. I can see the NCAA coming down as harsh as is possible against both Tressel and tOSU.

This will be viewed as Emmert's first real test. He has no Big Ten affiliation, and has stated that he intends to clean up the game. The media circus surrounding Tressel and tOSU is so large, that this decision, and Emmert, will be in the spotlight.

I can see Tressel getting a show-cause and never working at an NCAA sanctioned school and tOSU getting a light penalty

Or

tOSU gets raped by the NCAA.

I think the first scenario there is much more likely.

I'm worried about Tennessee's issues in all this. I know our issues aren't as serious as some other schools, but we did have issues in multiple sports and Emmert seems willing to give out harsh penalties. I wouldn't be surprised if UT got harsh penalties as well. Certainly not USC harsh, but harsh enough to set back our already unstable situations in both football and basketball.

Why are we getting off topic?

Shall we talk about Ron Prince, Dave Wannstedt, and Chuck Amato, who are clearly the frontrunners for the tOSU position next year?
