LewPort71 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I'm thinking... Mike Leach or Rich Rodriguez, who was recruiting the heck out of Terrelle Pryor whilst RR was at WVU... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Ohio State got caught doing what almost every major college sports program does to some degree. Not defending Tressel, just saying the NCAA is very selective and inconsistent with its enforcement because they have a mint to protect. PTR The NCAA didn't ask him to resign. This isn't about kids trading jerseys for tattoos. It's about the coach not notifying his employer or the NCAA about an investigation involving his players when he knew he was supposed to.

TuffButFair Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 It's getting worse. Report: ‘significant inquiry by NCAA’ underway for Terrelle Pryor http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/05/30/facepalm-report-significant-inquiry-by-ncaa-underway-for-terrelle-pryor/related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valle7878 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 OSU needs to be punished for what they did and Tressel was caught in a sandel that he needed to be fired and banned from coaching in the NFL and broadcasting because i won't watch him. He did wrong and neeeds to be punished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Idiots who jump against the Ohio State University keep their head in the sand 364 days a year. Every school is going through actions like these on some level or another. I know there are some D1 athletes here who will confirm this; no matter the program, no matter the sport, no matter the situation schools break rules. Hell, Dean Smith let so many violations go by that it is a g'damn joke and if you say that to the wrong person you'll get shot. Tressel cannot be responsible for his athletes off the field no more then he can be on the field. If Pryor wants to slap a player across the face how is Tressel responsible? The same goes for what Pryor does off the field. I really wonder about Urban Meyer going to OSU because I remember him at BGSU while I was going to UT.

Geno Smith's Arm Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 (edited) Its my understanding that the players were already attending Ohio St when they were given the car. Correct me if Im wrong. But if Im not, then that has nothing to do with recruiting. To add, Id say players at almost every D1 college get deals on cars or something. Whether it's Ohio St, Michigan, Oregon, Florida, Texas, etc., so it doesnt really do much to sway a recruit. All these things help get better players, keep players. Better players means more wins. More wins means more money. More money means better facilities, better coaches, better gifts for the next round of players, better better better money money money money. It can't be simplified to "well some student already there got a car. Big deal" And not all has been revealed yet. I don't blame Tressel, or any coach because it's the only way to compete. The whole system is a farce, and in some ways knocking big schools down a notch from time to time keeps the power located at the NCAA.

Buftex Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Oops. Sorry about the above. iPhone issue. Anyway, the real tragedy is the school will suffer while Tressel will get a job in the NFL or on TV. OR, Tressel will just sit back & live off his large buyout. The Dolphins are on the phone already! "Nothing to worry about Coach Sparano!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWings Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 What a farce the NCAA is. Some kids sell a couple jerseys and awards that they own and a coach loses their job, genius. Has the car thing come out yet? Or is it still speculation? But when they do it for 9 years and the coach knows it and knows it's illegal, yet does nothing.... or Rich Rodriguez, who was recruiting the heck out of Terrelle Pryor whilst RR was at WVU... OSU won't make a move until after this coming season and Pryor's gone after then, anyway. He should have seen the writing on the wall and jumped to the pros while he could. Besides, if Rich-Rod couldn't handle Michigan, there's no way he'll survive Ohio St. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You certainly may continue to rant on the NCAA, but you would be completely missing the point of this affair. Violations of NCAA rules are a part of NCAA football programs--I think we all get that, no need to reiterate this. This, however, is about an individual who participated in a coverup of known violations--and has a significant history of doing the same before he got to OSU--despite his carefully (self-)groomed image of being a man of "integrity". This coverup was done by this coach solely to maintain the eligibility of star players and for the competitive advantage of his program. If he had done what he was supposed to, and he had many opportnities to do so, a couple of guys would have missed a few games. That's it. That's what this is about, not about NCAA "hypocracy", which I wouldn't argue doesn't exist. Edited May 31, 2011 by Mr. WEO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea that NCAA is also in the medical fields to opine on its hypocracy. The only hypocracy involved in this case is that of St. James of Tressel. He and his program are no cleaner than the worst of them, despite what he has been selling folks for decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBud Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 First, let me say that I live in Columbus and the city is just turned upside down by this whole thing. Many thought that the initial report was all that there was to it. With the new reports coming out, it just makes Tressel, the athletic department, the school, and the very well liked president look like a bunch of chuckle heads. The athletic department is going for a big hit sanctions and financially. Wouldn't be surprised if the NCAA (which is a big pot of hypocrisy unto it self) puts the program and/or the athletic department on the brink of the death penalty.
