While none of those are over $1,000,000, I'm going to further point out that every single person on that list who could qualify as faculty is also at the medical school, and likely does work in the hospital outside of their teaching duties. So yes, it's salary, but it's not exactly what I meant.

Nonetheless, I think the point has been established and beaten in to the ground by now.

I don't think it's necessary to limit your parameters so much: it's enough to say that there are simply no faculty being compensated over $1M by the university, even though all faculty have responsibilities outside of just classroom teaching, just as Tressel is contracted to be much more than just a gameday football coach.

JT wasn't in Chicago for the Big Ten meetings yesterday because his wife was at the Cleveland Clinic. She had a 3-to-4 hour procedure on her heart to repair a blood valve.

It reportedly went well and she is recovering, but she'll be at the clinic for a few more days.

Tressel's role in adding Nebraska

At around the same time in April that Gordon Gee was communicating with Texas president Bill Powers, Nebraska AD Tom Osborne and OSU coach Jim Tressel also talked.

The details of their conversation and the role Tressel may have played in the Big Ten adding Nebraska had been unclear.

During yesterday?s conference call following Nebraska?s admittance into the Big Ten, I asked Osborne about the conversation.

?Jim and I have known each other quite a while,? Osborne said. ?We?re not friends who see each other annually, but I?ve always been very impressed with him.

?He came out and spoke at a banquet. He wanted to look at our facility and I showed him around. In the course of spending 2-3 hours together, he did mention he heard that expansion talk was fairly serious and said Nebraska?s name had come up on occasion. It was a very casual conversation. I don?t think it carried any other weight than that.?

I found this nugget inside an article on LBJ:

NBA free agency: LeBron James surprises modest crowd at rally in Akron - ESPN

During the one-hour ceremony, fans listened to proclamations from city leaders and watched a video message from Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel, a former Cavs ballboy who revealed that he keeps a LeBron James bobblehead on his office desk in Columbus.
"Everyone in the state of Ohio wants you to be a Cavalier forever," Tressel said. "We have great things we can do down the road and we can't do them without you."

Tressel Updates Carter, Wells and Rod Smith
By Brandon Castel

COLUMBUS — Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel was on hand Tuesday at the Morning Sports Report in downtown Columbus to talk about the school’s four living Heisman Trophy winners.

It was one of the first times the four—Howard “Hopalong” Cassady, Archie Griffin, Eddie George and Troy Smith—have appeared together publicly, but Tressel quickly found himself taking questions about a pair of former Buckeyes and one who has yet to arrive at Ohio State.

“We had a couple guys that didn’t get their responsibilities taken of and you have to live with those consequences,” Tressel said.

“But we have 99 others that have done a pretty good job and they’ll all have the privilege of running out of that tunnel when we take the field on September 2nd.”

The two who didn’t take care of business—in the classroom—were wide receiver Duron Carter and defensive end Keith Wells. Both have dealt with academic issues for much of 2010—Carter was forced to miss the Rose Bowl after being ruled academically ineligible after fall quarter—and it was announced Monday that both players were officially leaving Ohio State, at least for now.

“It’s part of life,” Tressel said.
