Jake;1896503; said:If the NCAA accepts what is currently in place then I say let's get on with it. That wouldn't warrant resignation in my mind.
If, however, they strip our wins from 2010 and suspend JT for the 2011 season, then it is over in my mind. His reputation would be damaged beyond repair, for at least as long as he stayed at tOSU. It would bring tOSU's reputation down with him as a result, and I would find that unacceptable.
Unfortunately, I think we're heading for the latter rather than the former.
The allegations said that Tressel "failed to deport himself in accordance with the honesty and integrity normally associated with the conduct and administration of intercollegiate athletics."
The N.C.A.A. also indicated it considers this a potential second violation, after the former quarterback Troy Smith was found to have received $500 from a booster in 2005, which could lead to stiffer penalties, including a postseason ban and loss of scholarships.
We may have seen the last game with Coach Tressel on the tOSU sidelines. Given my level of disappointment in his apparent handling of this situation I have mixed emotions about that possibility at the moment, but it would sure be a sad way for it to end. We'll see how things go this summer.
