NCAA says that Tressell is NOT "forthright"...

Man the NCAA is definitely DRAGGING thier feet, they told us 3 months ago that on August 12th they would tell us what the outcome was ...
Here we are and what did they do, get together to tell us the same thing we already knew.

Nothing is finished now until they take another 2-3 months to sit on it..... What exactly are they gonna do for 3 months that they couldn't get done over the summer, these guys work slower than Congress.
 
And just think, Tressell just received another $150K from the OSU for unused vacation and sick days. This is because they let him retire instead of just resigning.

They were lied to. What do you want?

AFTER the Liar finally was caught in his lies and Outlaw State finally owned up to THAT PART of what it had done, its corrupt management decided, rather than to obey the NCAA rules and tell everything, to "self-impose" token penalties. Unfortunatly for it, the NCAA knows about OTHER VIOLATIONS. Whoops. Caught lying. Again.

If Outlaw State wants to resolve this, then or now, all it has to do is simply be honest with the NCAA.

And accept the death penalty it deserves.
 
Sounds like Tressel tried to take full responsibility on Friday. If they can tie most or all of this to Tressel, and not the entire program, hopefully the University will not be hit with major sanctions.

I think they will go with what the Buckeyes already offered and may add to it, probably a few less scholarships I would guess.

Jim Tressel visits Browns camp

Associated Press
BEREA, Ohio -- Former Ohio State coach Jim Tressel is visiting the Cleveland Browns' training camp.

Tressel was forced to resign in May after breaking NCAA rules in a memorabilia-for-tattoos scandal involving several Buckeyes players. He is on the sideline watching as the Browns go through another morning workout.

With his hands folded behind his back, a pose familiar to Ohio State's loyal fans, Tressel visited with Browns president Mike Holmgren on Monday as he kept a close eye on Cleveland's first-team offense and defense doing drills.

It's a homecoming for Tressel, who grew up in Berea and played at nearby Baldwin-Wallace College. Tressel has not made it known if he intends to coach again. There have long been rumors about him jumping to the NFL.

Also visiting camp is former Michigan coach Lloyd Carr.

I bolded the part that explains everything. Tress is from NE Ohio. Hell, the Browns practice facility is a stone's throw away from Baldwin Wallace College. He was in the area. Simple as that. I can't see him coaching the Browns anytime soon though. Holmgren just hired his guy.

I didn't mean him coaching the Browns, I meant him going to the NFL in some capacity.
 
Probably the first time since he was about three years old that his August is not consumed by football. Probably doesn't know what to do with himself at this point, so he's looking for any football fix he can possibly find.

Yeah..."If you know what's good for your team, don't do it! Look where he got me!!"

I don't know....John Gruden supposedly really like Pryor and thinks he will make as good or better pro QB than Newton. And I know how much you Ohio State guys worship Gruden in this strange zen type of way...LOL!

I was surprised when Gruden said that ...
I like Gruden and hope that he takes over in a few years for the Buckeyes, but I don't see Pryor as a Starting QB anywhere. Maybe a 2-3 string guy .... or a WR somewhere.
 
And the hits keep coming

Ohio State says three more players accepted improper benefits

Story Highlights
RB Jordan Hall, DB Corey Brown, DB Travis Howard received benefits
Information could impact Ohio State's previous case before the NCAA
Players took $300 or less in impermissible benefits earlier this year


COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Three more football players are in hot water at Ohio State.

As a result, Ohio State might be in even more trouble with the NCAA.

The school reported late Thursday afternoon that running back Jordan Hall, defensive back Corey Brown and defensive back Travis Howard each received impermissible benefits of $300 or less earlier this year.

The latest violations took place after several Buckeyes players were suspended for accepting cash and free tattoos from the subject of a federal drug-trafficking probe and Ohio State had ramped up its compliance department to warn athletes not to break NCAA rules.

All three were suspended for the Buckeyes' season-opening game on Saturday against Akron at Ohio Stadium.

"We take this matter seriously," Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith said in a statement. "Our commitment to institutional integrity is steadfast, and we must hold everyone associated with our athletics programs accountable for lapses in judgment. We believe in transparency with the NCAA, all regulatory bodies and all of Buckeye Nation."

Hall and Howard, both juniors, were listed as the starters on Ohio State's two-deep roster for the game. Brown, who goes by the nickname "Pittsburgh" to distinguish him from Buckeyes wide receiver Corey "Philly" Brown, was listed as a backup at safety.

Ohio State is already awaiting final word on what sanctions it will receive from the NCAA for memorabilia-for-cash violations which occurred in 2010 that led to coach Jim Tressel's forced resignation on May 30. Several players have already been suspended and the 2010 season was vacated because of the earlier problems.

The latest admission could affect Ohio State's current case before the NCAA, which was heard on Aug. 12. The NCAA's committee on infractions is expected to hand down a decision as early as the end of September.

Hall, from Jeannette, Pa., is a former high school teammate of Terrelle Pryor, one of the players who was suspended for trading signed memorabilia for cash and free or discounted tattoos from the owner of a Columbus tattoo-parlor owner. The tattoo-parlor owner, Edward Rife, later pleaded guilty to money laundering and drug trafficking charges and is awaiting sentencing.

Tressel, won led Ohio State to the 2002 national championship, admitted that he knew as early as April of 2010 that some of his players had accepted money from Rife. But he failed to notify any of his superiors at Ohio State or anyone in NCAA compliance until confronted by investigators in January of 2011.

Soon after Tressel resigned, Pryor, at the heart of university and NCAA investigations into improper benefits, gave up his final year of eligibility to make himself available for an NFL supplemental draft. He was taken in the third round by the Oakland Raiders.

The Buckeyes are already without five players in the opener who were suspended for taking improper benefits. Sitting out the first five games this fall are last year's leading rusher Daniel Herron, top returning receiver DeVier Posey and starting offensive tackle Mike Adams, along with backup defensive lineman Solomon Thomas. Thomas was the hero of the Buckeyes' 31-26 victory over Arkansas in the Sugar Bowl, grabbing a late interception to preserve the win. But that game, along with every other one in a 12-1 season last year, was vacated.

According to a release issued by the university, after finding out about the violations involving Hall, Brown and Howard, Ohio State looked into the situation and self-reported the infractions to the NCAA and the Big Ten. All three were suspended from the team, with the university then asking the NCAA for their reinstatement for the rest of the season.

The university also is considering institutional sanctions for the three.

Smith and other Ohio State officials declined further comment.
