Bigbird Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 http://msn.foxsports.com/collegefootball/story/ohio-state-coach-jim-tressel-extends-suspension-to-five-games-after-ncaa-denies-appeal-031711 Motherfuck. I didn't know the appeal got shot down too. A lot of people on message boards are saying the NCAA is going to lay the hammer down and suspend him for the season. Mike, can you weigh in? And, from the article. "The NCAA could vacate the 2010 season because Tressel knowingly used ineligible players." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bicranium Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 OSU "insiders" think there won't be much more done to Tressel over this. They think we'll get some probation added on and that will be the end of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbird Posted March 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Didn't they also think that the appeal would get the suspension dropped to 4 games? Honestly you could be 100% correct. I'm not real up to date on all of this because I was pretty much dead to the world (got my tonsils out) when the whole Tressel thing broke.

I'm not real up to date on all of this because I was pretty much dead to the world (got my tonsils out) when the whole Tressel thing broke. A few did but really since late January most have thought it was going to stay at 5. Then the Tressel stuff coming to light obviously cemented it staying at 5. Obviously everyone who isn't an OSU fan wants us to get absolutely slammed for this but the NCAA showed with both the Cam Newton deal and our players remaining eligible for the Sugar Bowl that they don't really give a shit what the public thinks. Is it just me or did anyone notice non of the games were with the big ten teams??? The 5th game is against Michigan St. That will be tough. Then working the guys back into the lineup @ Nebraska is going to be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImUrOBGYN Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 I thought they decided to suspend 5 or 6 others for the 1st 5 games, too, including Pryor. Before, I thought it was only going to be the first 2 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before, I thought it was only going to be the first 2 games. Pryor, Adams, Herron, Posey and Solomon Thomas are out for the first 5. Jordan Whiting is out for the first game. That was the NCAA ruling from December. We appealed it looking for a reduction and they announced the upholding of those suspensions last night. With that news Tressel requested that he be sat down for 5 games as well instead of the 2 that he was initially suspended for by OSU. The NCAA still has to give a final ruling on Tressel but it seems as if probation will be all that is added on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbird Posted March 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Well I hope you're right. It's a shitty situation all around. Tressel still has my vote of confidence though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was volunteered by the ncaa to sit 5. Gotta say this 'wording' paints a bit of a different light than the way some others would have you believe. If you catch my drift. I think the entire NCAA should get be punished. lol Just cuz USC was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Spam Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Isnt it the Dispatch that broke this story? Dispatch needs to stop meddling in this. OSU will shut down that 1 star paper quicker than your can say Tressel knew about this all along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bicranium Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Yahoo "broke" the initial Tressel story. But OSU and the NCAA had already been looking into the e-mails for almost 2 months. Another problem that people are realizing with all of this is that there seem to be some serious leaks in the NCAA office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could actually end up taking Tressel down... This will not take Tressel down. He makes way to much money for the school for a small incident like this. USC did not lose any money when Bush had his Heisman taken away...neither will OSU. This will be forgotten before the season is over. I see a couple of these guys getting pissed and going pro...they missed the draft declaration, but not the supplimental... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJ Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 OSU will shut down that 1 star paper quicker than your can say Tressel knew about this all along. You don't know who the Wolfe family is do you? Quite possibly more powerful in Columbus than Wexner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bicranium Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 I see a couple of these guys getting pissed and going pro...they missed the draft declaration, but not the supplimental... Why would some of the kids responsible for this who have already stuck it out this long essentially bail and lose money by going into a supplemental draft for a league that is currently having a lockout? Their case is done. It's 5 games and that's it. That wouldn't make a ton of sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah dude, they gotta go after OSU because our players sold their own stuff. Words like "dirty" and "criminal" come to mind when I think about what these kids did...not.
