pearl talked to players and recruits and asked them to lie. tressel simply ignored a couple of emails and then lied about knowing about them. both are firable offenses, but one is worse.
Put it this way. Imagine both parties came clean from the start. Pearl probably gets very little, if anything, and the OSU players still get a 5 game suspension. That's my justification for thinking Tressel's scenario could very possibly be considered worse.

In that situation, I agree. But playing them makes it a huge deal that I think he's likely to be held responsible for. Can we agree that Tressel obviously lied to OSU and kept information from the NCAA/public when this whole thing came out in December? I'd say that matches Pearl lying about the barbecue. Both coaches made an attempt to hide something and lied about it.tressel though wouldn't have had anything happen to him.
Failure to promote an atmosphere of compliance and failure to monitor are both tied to his coverup. What other major violations were there? The impermissible phone calls and the cookout were not major violations.
That just came out this week, so how did they self report it?
