The real crime there was that dumbass attorney who emailed Tressel to begin with.

Personal opinion … 2 thoughts:
1.) The ncaa has all of the evidence that was shared in the WaPo article. Pettitie wants access to it.
2.) Just want to be sure there isn’t any problem with any “unprecedented” steps as a conference.

I hope the commissioner of the Big Ten is busy in administrative shit and negotiating TV contracts to get more exposure for women’s sports, hockey, etc, and not reading message boards and refreshing Twitter every 5 minutes hunting his next dopamine fix.
I’m sorry but all this “criticism” of Petitti is misplaced. He most likely, legitimately, thought this was a much smaller issue until the coaches set him straight yesterday. Folks, he’s not spending 14 hours of his day for two straight weeks reading about this stuff like we all are. And if he is, he should be fucking fired for that.

I get various Facebook group posts from Scum groups on FB, even though I am not a member. Like the Winged Helmet
The DFBIA is seriously a cult. They have no idea why people are angry, and how they did anything wrong.
I don't get it at all.

Eh I mean football is the bread winner and one of your top two programs is being investigated for more or less corruption.
Maybe he does know everything? But if he wasn’t aware of how serious this was that’s crazy talk.
hopefully he does the right thing though.
Goodnight BP.. you can now discuss your Brazzers search results.

This. This is the salient fact everyone glosses over. Tressel didn’t lie to protect the players or keep winning games, he lied to protect Chris Cicero, who was a former walkon WR at OSU when Tressel was the WR coach and later OC in the mid 80s.
Cicero was retained by Ray the tattoo guy, then tipped off Tress that there was a fuckton of memorabilia in the tattoo shop from current (and former) players via Jim’s osu.edu email account.
Jim lied about knowing because a confession would prove Cicero violated attorney/client privilege. Ray never ultimately retained Cicero as counsel, and Cicero was disbarred anyway.

If this is true then his entire staff should be fired. He is the commissioner of an athletic conference. He should have someone who automatically looks for any news article on this conference. There have been enough articles on ESPiN, Yahoo, The Athletic, etc., not to mention the podcasters that someone on his staff should have noticed and told him, "Houston, we have a problem." I have a feeling he just had his head buried in the sand hoping it would go away.

And the University discovered those emails while responding to a FOIA request from Nebraska because they wanted to see what Tressel and Tom Osborne were saying to each other before Nebraska joined the B1G. And to their credit tOSU self-reported those emails rather than trying to hide their existence.

Agree to disagree. The conference commissioner being slow and measured in his reaction versus making judgements based on YouTube clips of Mike & Rico doing Detroit drive time radio is what I actually want to see.
Yes, I’m sure there are social media interns in Chicago monitoring this. But he needs to make a decision based on facts. He did not have those facts before yesterday or today because all the coaches didn’t want to touch that topic publicly.
He doesn’t have to drop the hammer for MSU or Purdue. He needs to make that decision before Penn St and Ohio St, because those are the only two games where an un-level playing field actually matters.

Of course...... I can't bring myself to hitting the hide button, because their idiocy intrigues me.

11 B1G schools had evidence of the porn pony buying tickets to games all over the conference. At least 1 of those had video evidence of someone videoing the game on his phone. Several outlets deemed reputable news outlets (not YouTube, not Mike & Rico) were reporting on this. There was video evidence of the porn pony being on the CMU sideline. There was enough smoke that if Pettiti didn't know there was a potential problem then it was because he didn't want to know. Was there enough coming out to convict? No. Was there enough to know he should be taking it seriously and looking into it? Yes. And it's convenient you cherry picked YouTube and Mike & Rico, while ignoring the sports news outlets I mentioned.
And I imagine MSU and Purdue might disagree that Harbaugh & Co. should be able to cheat against them but not against Ped St. or tOSU. The hammer should be dropped as soon as the B1G determines cheating has occurred, and that should be done as expeditiously as possible.

I am convinced I am not going to get what I want before this season plays out, but here is what I think is the worst case scenario - and it isn't all that bad.
1. Harbaugh will be suspended for two games - likely the next two. Sends the message that the powers that be know what is going on and more is coming. They will have that hanging over their heads while they play out the string. It will also send a message to their incoming class that they need to think twice.
2. During the off season the NCAA will come back and call for the forfeiting of games - perhaps three seasons worth. Since this is competitive advantage I don't see it being vacates. They will also miss the post season for a year or two and maybe some schollie hits.
3. Whatever UM gets out of this season will be all they get for some time. If you look at their depth chart they have starters on the offense alone who use up their eligibility this season (that experience is one reason they are playing so well). If McCarthy leaves they will bring back one sophomore TE. With the transfer rule in place and a post season ban it will be a long time before they are back.
4. The stench will stay with the University for even longer.
Or am I dreaming?
