Ohio State in More Trouble (merged)

I think this quote is just as interesting as the bit about Tressel...

The Columbus Dispatch reported on Jan. 2 that Pryor had been “stopped for traffic violations on three separate occasions while driving cars that were owned by a car salesman or a Columbus used-car lot where the salesman worked.” He’d also been allowed to test drive a car for the weekend to his home in Pennsylvania.

Archie said the school knew of two of the incidents and had deemed nothing improper. He said the school would investigate the third traffic stop in a borrowed car. There has been no update on that internal investigation.

Didn't we give Tee Martin some money. I could be wrong, but it seems like we would have been willing to buy Albert Means as well.

I remember around the time OSU won the national title multiple guys admitted to taking money at OSU, and the NCAA found nothing. If they escaped that, I think they may be able to escape this.

I missed the part that said he lied to the NCAA.

Lying by omission is still lying.

And you can't tell me that when investigating the situation back in December the NCAA folks never asked if anyone had prior (heh) knowledge of the violation. There is a second likely lie.

Fact is, Yahoosports breaks alot of stories. If they are reporting it, there's something there.

Tressel says that he knew of the players' gear sales scheme more than 8 moths before the school administration was made aware of the situation.

Not only did Tressel know about the NCAA violations, he kept them quiet, tried to hide them, and then fought to get the violating players eligible to play in a bowl game.

Man, this makes Bruce Pearl look like Goldilocks.

Tressell wears his sweater vests, looks like your grandfather, but this clearly demonstrates, along with the knowledge that Ohio State has had 375 of secondary violations since Tressel took over as the Ohio State coach, that Ohio State runs a dirty as hell program.

Ohio State has 375 secondary violations since 2000

There is no way in hell that Tressel can survive as the coach. This is a huge story.

That would not disappoint me. I just don’t know if the NCAA will look at “omission” verses “directly lying to a question” in the same light.

The Ohio State Administration, which I assume includes Tressel, claims that they found out about the alleged violations at the beginning of December.

No, Tressel has stated that he knew about them since April and hid the knowledge of them from Ohio State's administration and the NCAA.

If Tressel failed to inform Smith or the Ohio State compliance department about the players’ dealings with Rife, he could be charged with multiple NCAA violations including unethical conduct, failure to monitor and a failure to promote an atmosphere of compliance. In general, a coach is required to act on, or pass along reasonable information about possible rule violations for further investigation.

I see what you're getting at. But I would think hiding information goes along with lying. Who know though :popcorn:

If there no moment in December when the NCAA directly asked OSU when they knew about it, then yeah, you'd expect Tressel and OSU to wriggle out of this one. If there was, then he's screwed.
