Reports are that the AD imposed a $250K fine and 2 game suspension. Whoooopee $hit.

School self-imposed a 2 game suspension on the SV...there is some smoke here. This isn't the end of it, only the beginning. Yahoo! bats 1.000 when it comes to stories of this...

"I screwed up, and I'm going to admit it because I don't want the NCAA to punishus as badly."

Yup, very vague and boring too.

Was about to say the same thing.

250K is only 7% of his annual salary.

I'm watchin the press conference and just threw up! OSU will get a slap on the wrist and Pearl gets the death penalty. Hell! he's cryin now!

They think a two game suspension and a financial tap on the wrist is enough for knowingly playing ineligible players? Sooner or later, somebody's going to wise up and realize the Mark Emmert led 'AA isn't fooling around.

Just glad Tennessee isn't in this kind of trouble . Ofcourse all the ring sellers got to play in the sugar bowl. Meanwhile we get raked over the Coles for a lot less.

You think they should fire him? I don't see this being any better than the Pearl situation.

 

[govols120]

What's even funnier is that they think suspending Tressel from games against Akron and Toledo is an apt punishment.

 

[VolFanInHawaii]

this is just the advantage schools that have good relations with espn get. espn loves to hate on tennessee.

 

[hatvol96]

You think they should fire him?

Yes.

 

[Domestic Silence]

I don't think he will walk clean from this...OSU wouldn't fly their President back immediately from out of the country and then self-impose 2 game suspension plus $250K if they didn't have to throw themselves on the fire.

This is clearly just beginning...

 

[ole_orange]

True.

Although tOSU has always seemed to have close connections with the NCAA.

 

[Orange Blazer]

Yes.

Do you think they will is a better question?

 

[gorockytop101]

I don't see how you look at the ass-kicking Pearl is about to get and come up with that punishment.

No .

 

[ByUVols]

Tressel's suspension is a joke!! He has to miss the Akron & Toledo games. All suspensions should start being conference games and not the BS filler games like these. Might help with some of the players too if they new they would miss a conference game.

 

[ORANGEADDICT]

I know. It's sooooo lame. I can't stand Ohio state, but since alot of the sports media whent there they get a million free passes.
