I think it depends on how long they find out Tressel has beend doing this.

Not gonna happen. USC lost that championship because of Reggie Bush, and the chances of the investigators finding a paper trail that would prove Tressel was actively protecting\lying about the knowledge of transgressions for over a decade is highly unlikely...

Then I don't see them stripping a nearly 10-year-old Championship that none of the currently suspected players had a hand in winning. Unless the OP's point was that they might take last year's bowl win away.

USC lost that because he was the main target of the investigation...

I think it will depend on how far back and deep it goes.

Meh.

They would also have to factor in the severity of the infractions.

Selling possessions vs. student and student's family receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars?

Maybe living all the way out here I'm missing something but I just can't see Tressel being an idiot manifesting itself into something that would stretch back a decade.

I guess we'll see, won't we... :mellow:

Maurice Clarrett played in that game. He accused Tressell of some pretty similar things.

The NCAA has a 4 year statute of limitations. There's no chance the 2002 championship is vacated. It was awarded by the BCS anyway, not the NCAA. I believe the NCAA vacated USC's wins when Bush was on the take but the BCS still considers them the champs for those years.


Some of you guys are fantasizing about this going back years. Maybe players have been selling stuff for years, but there's no evidence Tressel knew anything about it prior to Cicero's email. The SI story tried to imply that Tressel knew the trustee at YSU had bought the car for the star QB. Of course all it really said was that Tressel knew Isaacs had a car. Duh.

The BCS stripped them of their title....

And the statute of limitations can be gotten around under special circumstances....I am guessing nothing will happen.

Your hate for OSU is unparalleled.

You can dream all you want... but this will not be the death penalty or even the end of competitive football for OSU....

Go to 1:45. He's not even touching him. You can use that far away angle all you want. Maybe a holding but calling a PI was total bs. Plus gamble wanted a facemask call there, not a PI call. Doesnt matter, records still say OSU won, until August.

Bullshit... there are stills of Gamble's jersey being pulled away from his shoulder as he tries to separate and get turned around for the pass....

On top of it all, Miami got away with murder on penalties that entire game!

Sour grapes!

I <3 OSU haters.... you make college football worth it!

Don't worry... we'll be to a stadium near you to tear down your goal posts sometime in the near future!

I think he sent the text messages and called that guy just to make sure that he did not know about the confidential information that Tressell was protecting the players with....... :bsflag: :bsflag:

Pryor not returning for his senior season. Probably what's best for Ohio State at this point. Cut ties and move on.
[/quote]

Agreed.

My initial reaction when I read that article was "good riddance"...

I just hope that Braxton Miller doesn't end up the same way. Fans will turn on you quick.
[/quote]


you're ridiculous. Pathetic may be more apt.


As for loyalty, no college player who drives a $350,000 car to a team meeting while he, and his team, are being investigated, deserves any loyalty from fans.

Come on 1181, he drove a used 2007 350z with 80k miles. That car had a wholesale value of about 12k and a retail of about 16k. You have got to quit listening to the idiots, they make you sound like one, and you're not. Do a little homework.
