It just breaks my heart to see this thread in this section. :(

FUCK THE NCAA

Everyone needs a scapegoat. Tress just needed to speak up in a timely manner and he would still be our coach. Why he didn't is a question I hope he answers someday, because I hate that he went out this way. :(

Someone obviously just came over the headset with the the question "Why is Curtis Painter an NFL quarterback, but Troy Smith is not?"

Troy Smith is a quarterback. Curtis Painter is a clipboard holder. They employed Painter because until this season they needed the latter and not the former.

Scapegoat?

He failed to reveal the email to the powers that be. When the powers that be found the email, they turned it over to the NCAA voluntarily.

If you're saying he's a scapegoat, you're basically saying he turned it over to the powers that be from the beginning. And then the powers that be turned it over voluntarily 8 months later. Which, of course, makes absolutely no sense.

Great coach. Great man. But he's no scapegoat.

If you look at the post he quoted, I think he was referring to the other person's use of the NCAA as the scapegoat. That's how I read it anyway.

Random question, and I am unsure where to ask this, but:

What ever happened to the FBI investigation of the players that Tressel referenced in the NCAA hearing? We hear so much about the NCAA investigation, but nothing about the FBI criminal investigation that prompted Tressel to not mention the issue to the compliance department.

Additionally, the NCAA has released the audio files from the hearing. YT has a clip here:

Its good to hear him talking again, if even under these horrible circumstances :-(

The FBI investigation was not into the kids........their stuff was uncovered in the seizure of rifes property


and to be honest to use the word horrible circumstance to discribe this situation may be a bit much...
