Of course there is no legal obligation to his friend. But there certainly is a logical reason to be hesitant in running off to the NCAA with confidential information regarding an ongoing federal investigation. And there certainly is an obligation to make damn sure you understand the complex...

He said himself he sought legal advice. He didn't know who to go to at first. How do we know that the legal advice was not to keep quiet about it until the federal case is concluded. Think carefully about it. What was to be gained by keeping this quiet? The facts were going to come out...

Wrong. This sort of thing could fall under quite a few different federal statutes. This isn't CSI or Law and Order.

Of course he acknowledges it. The NCAA has yet to rule on it and being contrite is exactly the right thing to do. As always he is looking out for the students and the school.

HOLY CHRIST. What part of FEDERAL INVESTIGATION is escaping your attention here. Of course there was a fucking obligation to keep quiet. He could possibly be committing a FUCKING FELONY if he revealed what he knew. If you can possibly turn off the sports radio chuckleheads for a bit and...

You have made up your mind and will only see the fact of the case in a way that fits your view. This attorney was essentially leaking this info to Tressel. You don't sign confidentiality agreements when what you are doing is possibly illegal. He wasn't covering their tracks he was trying to...

It is in the press conference transcript. Look it up. I can't imagine being put in a similar situation. Either way he loses. He chose to protect the university and the student athletes instead of himself. I am proud to be a fan of the Buckeyes and even prouder of their head coach.

If this were a perfect world I might agree. But there is a strong possibility that coach Tressel could have been breaking federal law for reporting the confidential information in a federal drug trafficking case. If it were scUM or Whiskey or any other school I would say the same thing. He got...

I read the e-mails and still think he did exactly the right thing. What in these e-mails says anything that makes this look somehow worse? Please enlighten me because you really seem to be making some leaps of logic here.

Wow, take a step back and get some perspective. JT says himself in the press conference that he had to get advice on how to proceed and that the was a FEDERAL DRUG TRAFFICKING CASE. Would you prefer that he put himself in legal jeopardy so you can maintain your moral high ground? The bad news...

Do you really think this is up there with the Newton thing, Alabama's near death experience and runaway Petes fiasco at USC? There is still some question as to whether or not coach Tressel could have revealed what he knew without legal trouble. OSU self reported, punished the players involved...

The sad thing is that those kind of things almost never make the news. Who outside of Buckeye nation knows that Woody helped break the color barrier in college football and was did a lot for charity. He visited troops in Vietnam, hosted study sessions for his players and made sure they were...

:gobucks2:

And many of us much like ESPIN are jumping to conclusions. Is it at all possible that disclosing confidential information about a federal drug case could have gotten JT in legal jeopardy? Until you know the answer to this and a ton of other questions I think the guy has earned the benefit of the...

Okay I just read the e-mails and am really confused. Where exactly does JT sound the least bit shady? In what way do the e-mails make it look worse? Some of the posts in this thread makes one think JT might know where Jimmy Hoffa is buried. The e-mails actually made me feel better. They...

So will the belt be vacated along with the MNC when the NCAA gets their collective heads out of the sand? Does BP have an infractions committee?

Man those jethro accents take me back to the four years I lived in GA. *shudder*

10 would be kind of nice actually. Being able to start the season without a target on our backs is a nice thing.
