Wearing a sweater vest doesn't make you an honorable person...
"According to a report by Dan Wetzel and Charlie Robinson of Yahoo! Sports, “coach Jim Tressel was informed that several Buckeyes players were selling memorabilia more than eight months before the school claims it was made aware of the scheme.” That startling accusation stems from a two-month investigation by the website (NBC Sports)."
The NCAA tried to protect Ohio State giving the players that cushy suspension, and not letting them play in a Bowl game, but if this report is true they HAVE TO go after Ohio St/Tressel. If he knew this stuff was going on, and knew if was against the rules then he should've suspended these guys. I know, easier said then done, but now things could get a lot worse in a hurry. Not just from the NCAA, but from Ohio State itself, as it is in his contract that he if he knows of rules violations he is to report to the AD.
Ohio State is one of the schools that the NCAA will do anything to protect, but if this is true then it is time for them to send a message. That message should be that Tressel be suspended for just as long as his players are (5 games).
