It was a systematic cover-up of the players' relatively minor (yet still suspendable) offenses.

I know in a lot of similar cases that kids are allowed to "pay the money back" by donating to a charity without loss of playing time.

So I wonder if they really were offenses worth of suspension?

Who really knows at this point? To be honest I'm still in a state of shock they were allowed to play in the bowl game - especially since some of the issues were caused by bowl game memorabilia.

Thank you for your service coach, but I think you're going to get hammered by the NCAA; and that's a best case scenario. If you stick around I hope you continue to do some good things for the university, but I don't see how you don't sit out at least a year.

1. GM specifically makes the Corvette for 64 year olds.

2. Mr. Sarniak was one of the few people on Earth, not related to Terrelle by blood or marriage who could lend his car to Terrelle and not run afoul of NCAA and/or WPIAL rules.

3. Mr. Sarniak, if understand/recall correctly was the adult who accompaied Terrelle on his recruiting visits and to whom recruiting literature was sent instead of either TP's mother or father.

4. Nowhere in the article does it read this is the only person/entity Tressel contacted with this.

5. Nowhere in this article does it read that the only method of communication used in this whole situation was e-mail.

6. It is increasingly evident that the Athletic Department came to know of this in January of 2011 so the idea that JT is taking a fall for a "dirty" Athletic Department appears to be false.

7. To Ohio State and the NCAA the Dispatch article provides the "olds" not the news.

8. Thursday passed and no letter of inquirey from the NCAA, no equivocation of the support from Gee and Smith to Tressel, and no lamentations or backtracking from our recruits.

9. Beat Kentucky.

The timing of said email to Sarniak is everything. If it was forwarded after the NCAA investigation began, that's one thing. If it went to Sarniak before it went to anyone in house, then Sarniak begins to look like a handler. Either way this isn't going to help.

That said, with this development, I'm ready to move on from this. As ardent of a supporter of Tressel as I have always been (and one of the loudest ones on this site in my support at that), whatever comes from the NCAA is justified. If he can't coach for a year, so be it. At this point he's earned it.

Timing is important. If it went to Sarniak before anyone else, I can accept that JT was sending it to someone close to TP who has influence over TP. Basically, in the best interest of the kid.

What I have a hard time accepting though is that if one believes that the contents of the email are confidential then why forward them to anyone?!?

I also don't think this changes anything, other than putting it back into the news cycle again.

After the press conference, most of us thought that the emails were forwarded to somebody. The fact that they were sent to somebody outside tOSU doesn't make the fact that JT didn't notify the AD or the compliance department any worse. It certainly indicates that he took them seriously, and would seem to eliminate any possibility that he just treated them as coming from an unrealiable source and ignored them.

It makes the theory that JT was taking the fall for either the AD or the compliance department less likely, which is a good thing as far as the reputation of the Athletic Department is concerned.

That's the part I was lamenting.

Another round of news, another round of speculation and parsing, another opportunity for the talking heads to talk, etc., etc., etc.

Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

Bill, I wasn't aware I was prohibited from posting elsewhere. Which makes it interesting, as some are unhappy because I talk too much about that subject here, but now it appears some are unhappy because instead of posting here again, I went over to an SEC Board.

I figured waiting a bit to post regarding this new news was perhaps a better choice today, all things considered. Which is why I skipped over the story to comment on the Shaggy Bevo post instead.

But since you and Mike have been so kind to mention me this morning, I will say that it's a damn shame they "broke" this the morning of your Sweet Sixteen Game. You'd think an Ohio paper could have waited a day.

Can someone tell me why he would send these emails to some guy not tied to the Athletic Department at the school?

Just getting on this morning, sorry.

who knows....maybe because it was the guy that accompanied TP on all his visits. A guy that TPs parents trusted with thier son. A guy that TP goes to for advice and has known for many years. Maybe JT thought that TPs mentor could figure out what was going on [/scarlet glasses]
