Maybe it's because Tressel is worshipped like a diety.

There seem to be a lot more murders in Columbus this year and it's probably the OSU gestapo out trying to squelch criticism of Tressel.

Ohio State fans are a funny group. A few years ago, they were unhappy with Tressel Ohio State finishing 12-1 and second in the country with a team that replaced 9 starters on defense and some starters on offense. The next year, they were upset with Tressel about a top 5 finish with a title game loss despite the fact that they lost most of their offense. Now, it's like they won't even question him.

He's a great coach, but this has to cost him.

It's because their standards are higher than everyone else. They can't have a coach tarnished by what happens to coaches at inferior schools.

The osu fans are mad because they know that program is gonna get shut the f down. Worse than USC with yr 2 and 3 being worse than the 1st yr. So they cannot claim to b a superior program anymore. But yes you will be the butt of jokes for the next decade. Michigan will begin to beat you every yr.

When some other school gets busted it is because they suck and cannot do it the right way. When your school gets busted, it is not fair because all schools do the same thing.

OSU just put themselves in a situation where they have to fire Tressel (which they won't do) or get taken down about 30 notches by the ncaa. I was watching espn and agree with Skip Bayless-This could be as close to the death penalty as we would ever possibly see again. Mostly due to the arrogance of OSU and of Tressel. It's also pretty bad when you have former players talking their a** off. I suspect more will come forward. Seems like most players don't like Tressel.

I was in Columbus yesterday, and the Ohio State fan I talked to actually told me that Tressell did not do anything wrong and that it was all the fault of the players. He said he would have done the same thing with the emails (sent to the "mentor" but not to OSU compliance) and that his signed NCAA form (that he did not know of any NCAA violations) was a non-factor! Wow, I supported CBP but never claimed he was not guilty (mainly of being stupid for lying to the NCAA).

People are so stupid sometimes. Even if Tressell were somehow not at fault for that, who brought these players to Columbus? Exactly, Tressell.

You ask was it worth it?

Think about the amount of pressure these coaches are under to win. You guys fired a top 10 SEC coach all-time because you didn't feel like he was winning enough.

Fans will never be happy with their coach and eventually eat their own if they feel "the game has passed him by."

Look at these idiot UGA fans who want Richt gone. Who would they get that is better?

Change isn't always the right thing and it certainly doesn't every guarantee things will get better.

The answer is No, it wasn't worth it........but the pressure to win these guys are under makes every coach vulnerable to the same temptation to bend whatever rules they have to to keep their guys at the front.

Don't act like Fulmer had a couple of bad seasons and got fired. He almost had a bad decade (7-8 years) before losing his job. If I remember correctly, Mike Hamilton gave him a contract extension and raise near the end of his career also.

If Florida was that patient with Ron Zook, he may still be their coach.

Exactly. People forget when you sign a recruit you are VOUCHING for them totally. You say you are bringing this person to the university in order to better the program. If they don't do that then that's on you. There is enough research to know what type of person you are getting. You know if you get a Peyton Manning or Tee Martin personality or if you are getting a thug.

Knowing the ncaa they want to always make a statement. I think they will get hit hard but also Gordon Gee running his mouth about how he hopes Tressel won't fire them has to be a factor. A culture where the employee has that much control where the President is scared to make a move is not allowed. If Tressel were scared for his job before he would have turned in those players and pproblem solved. But they gave Tressel the leeway to do what he wanted when he wanted. For that alone the osu should get turned out not even mentioning the things they will get turned out for. :birgits_giggle:
