Did we lose the Tress announcement in our new transition?
Basically, he's asked that his suspension be extended for three additional games to match the five of his players. The University has granted this request.

Been thinking about this for a while- Wasn't there a transition in the compliance office recently? Any chance that this might account for the "I didn't get the council I needed..." and speculation that Tress did send the email up the ladder?
Just wondering if there may be a connection.

if he had only done this at the press conference last week then I would feel like he truly meant it. It just comes off as damage control now.
and before anyone replies that he didn't say it at the press conference because he didn't want to affect the NCAA's review of our appeal of the players' 5 game suspensions.....he could have phrased it like this at the presser: "although we are appealing our players' 5 game suspension to bring it more in line with historic precedent and actual effect, I will serve a 5 game suspension and not appeal it should the NCAA see fit to suspend me for that length of time".
I am just mortified by how poorly our management team has handled this issue

Well, the best thing they could have done was react in 24 hours to the Yahoo! News report and find a fitting, all-accepting punishment for all parties, both Buckeye and national to come to a just punishment that everyone would come to terms with and report back in their editorials that Ohio State is the most awesome NCAA program around and everybody loves us.
That didn't happen... so we are stuck with reality. You just can't win for some people. Many, many media folks asked him to serve a 5 game suspension and that is now going to happen; others asked for his firing (but I think most of those articles were WAY over the top) others asked him to serve a year-long suspension. He will probably donate more of his salary to charity or something like that. Who knows? But the fact that you won't be appeased because all of this should have come out at the presser is unfortunate. Just be satisfied that tOSU is taking this seriously and in ways that most universities never have to bother doing.
1st: every player will serve out the full lengths of their suspensions and will not have bailed to the NFL. 2nd: the Buckeyes as a whole will be punished for Tressel's info witholding and won't have the benefit that other programs have had of firing the controversial coach and skipping out on having to deal with the punishment altogether, the head coach who played them will serve the same length in suspension, he'll be fined.
Who knows what further, if any, punishments are to come as well...
Most universities don't have to deal with these punishments as the players and coach would probably have cut ties with the program and headed elsewhere.

Cowherd is saying that ESPN should hire Hooley since the local market is trying to shut him up. He's going to get exactly what he wants. No way ESPN would pass up a chance to hire a Buckeye/Tressel hater.

miniature giant space buckeye!
im starting to wonder, NCAA accepts the 5 game suspension as enough, then we go on to win it all this year. More media slamming us saying JT should have been suspended longer or more sanctions should be in place like being barred from a bowl game. its starting to look like a loose loose situation this coming year. :/

If Ohio State wins it all this year, I have a hard time seeing the "lose" in the situation. Of course, I also don't give a rat's dick about the media "slamming" Ohio State.HorticullyBuck;1892809; said:

Buckeyes are best

Winning it all = duh, winning! regardless of ongoing media slams
Media slams are coming no matter what--what's important is what the NCAA determines as appropriate punishment, and how the team deals with all this adversity to perform on the field. Media can go suck a bag of dicks.
