pretty much the same thing, anyone think the Buckeyes will fire him? I think it says more about the integrity of the program and University to want it done the right way. Lets see what Ohio St wants....

There is no way to predict what will happen to them.

Hence, no one should be surprised if they get the hammer or nothing at all.

Another one of these threads...j/k but somebody will say it. It's pretty close to the same thing other than the fact the NCAA didn't come asking, so Tressel said nothing and did nothing. So what is better, finally owing up to the truth or just ignoring it? Apparently ignoring it is better and the NCAA will show us that when Tressel gets little more, if any, punishment.

ESPNEWS said even with Pearl gone Tennessee prob. will get hit hard by the NCAA so even with the news today Ohio State will most likely be let off a lot better.

If we still get hit hard by the NCAA, then we have made a mistake by sacking Pearl. WTF is the point? We should tell the ncaa and slive to stick it. I thought the whole point of dumping pearl was to save us from heavy sanctions?

I dont see how this could go down any differently if its true on Hammy getting let known what sanctions are going to happen by keeping Pearl. What good is it to keep a coach if he has a 1 or 2 year ban? OSU is going to stand behind Tressel because he has a national title. If Pearl had a title then I think this situation becomes different. Pearl has no one to blame but himself.

Not the same thing and some of the facts are still unknown. Also, it depends if NCAA gives him unethical conduct. Has to be major violations.

Not only did Tressel lie, but he put it in writing and sent it to the NCAA. That's pretty major.

This ^

Bottom line is Tressel lied to the NCAA. If he doesn't get an unethical charge, NCAA is even more of DB laughing stock than they already were.

I have always had a lot of admiration for Coach Tressel. However, his offense was worse than Coach Pearl's. Pearl just had the arrogance to lie to their faces whereas Tressel filled out a compliance form. The major difference is Tressel's actions directly related to players on the field. That gave him a competitive advantage. Pearl's was a recruiting violation. The cover up, in both cases, was worse than the original crime.

With all this said, Tressel's 9-1 record against Michigan and a National Championship under his belt will ultimately save his hide. Had Pearl had similar dominance over Kentucky or a Final Four appearence on his record at Tennessee, he'd still be the coach of the Volunteers. Believe that!

Nobody cares about your opinion, your coach shouldn't even be allowed in a gymnasium....

Tressel and Ohio State have to be concerned about what the NCAA will do. What Tressel did is worse than Pearl and if the NCAA does not drop the hammer on him, if I were Pearl and UT, I would pursue legal action against the NCAA which is becoming a joke more and more each day. How can they do anything to any coach with Callipari walking the sidelines with 2 vacated final fours?

I guess Cal didn't lie to the NCAA like Pearl did. They frown on that. Also, the indictment regarding Derrick Rose was more on Memphis that it was Cal. The kid was accepted and enrolled at Memphis. Cal assumes he's legit. Not his fault.

Firing Tressel would have a much larger overall impact on OSU than UT firing Pearl. Thus, the right thing or not, they'll hang onto him.

OSU was an established football program, in a recruiting hotbed, well before Tressel arrived. He's a helluva coach, but if he was fired tonight, they'd have a stack if high caliber applications by tomorrow morning, regardless of impending NCAA sanctions, short of the Death Penalty (which ain't happening). OSU is a way better football job than UT is a basketball job. (I hope OSU gets hammered, BTW.)
