Oh how I hate Ohio State

That billboard is classic. I am still not sure how Tressel still has his job. I sure hope that the NCAA doesn't hold OSU to a higher standard like they did for Auburn. It will be interesting to see the fine for the school and the loss of schollarships.

Because he beats Michigan and takes OSU to a BCS game pretty much every year.

Nothing like winning games with knowingly ineligible players. It will be nice to claim that when some of those wins are possibly vacated thanks to NCAA sanctions. Homerocity knows no bounds, blind faith.

By the way, how did that "Mike Leake is innocent" deal work out?

USC used to do the same thing until the NCAA came down on them, removed a few trophies and vacated all their wins. Now they lost schollarships and have a post season ban.

Because this guy is a complete pv$$y and already showed that Tressel is more powerful than the president of the school? Besides, O$U football is the biggest professional sport the state of Ohio has to offer.

It is not the noblest of tactics, but it adheres to an axiom of big-time college football, one that Jim Tressel has heeded for years: You do whatever it takes to win.

Rules, laws, NCAA investigations be damned; whatever it takes to win?

He and Brian Kelly must be good friends.

All this garbage is helping ol Lloyd Carr's street cred around here. He owned Cooper, but couldn't get the better of the sweater vest. Guess he has pretty good excuse now.

I hope they have to vacate all those wins and give back that crystal football. Heck the president of "The University" should stand at centerfield of the Big House and apologize for tainting the rivalry with this tool. Then they should lose a ton of scholarships for the next decade, AND be banned from Bowl Games.

In my opinion, the AD and President may not be far behind with walking out the door. When all is done, I predict they will get sanctions at least equal to USC, probably worse. Particularly because not only did the coach know about it (they all do) but they can prove he knew, and he lied about it for an entire season as not to lose them for the season. 50 scholarships and a three year postseason ban (or more) will be likely. They have a timeline of violations already stemming from 2002 forward, so when the investigation is complete, it may be found to be much worse than USC. I just hope that the NCAA doesn't hold Ohio to a higher standard and give them a slap on the wrist (see: Auburn, Cam Newton, Cecil Newton et. al.).

The NCAA has known something stunk at OSU for the better part of a decade and decided to turn a blind eye to it. I hope they pull a 180 and bring down the hammer now.

I don't see what the big deal is. I know Charlie Sheen doesn't have a problem with this.
