Nope. The day of...

That's been the Ohio State gameplan. Wait until a newstory is about to drop exposing [insert name here], then run that person out of the program before the shit hits the fan.

Sorry, but there's so much shit on the fan at this point that you can smell it all the way in Juneau.

I did say "was" (as in 2010) trying to contain everything in the hopes of getting out with a clean record. I've said GS is gone now for over a month.

This could be a problem- Big Ten boss Delaney, Ohio State have conflicting timelines.

The university's self-report to the NCAA says the school discovered the emails "while reviewing information on an unrelated legal issue." Subsequent reports by the Dispatch following the school's release of their self-report say that the emails were discovered while officials were preparing the appeal of players' penalties in a related student-athlete reinstatement case.
CBSSports.com obtained all Freedom of Information Act inquiries directed to the university. In documents released by a school spokesman, the earliest request in 2011 came from Bloomberg News requesting a copy of the school's NCAA Revenue and Expenses Report on Jan. 24, a full 11 days after the school reported they became aware of the emails. Yahoo! Sports, which broke the news that Tressel had prior knowledge of NCAA violations involving Buckeyes players, submitted its first open records request to the school on Feb. 28.
In his remarks Sunday, Delany also stipulated that he and the NCAA were notified right away once the emails were found.
"In the case of [Ohio State president] Gordon [Gee] and [athletic director] Gene [Smith], let's put it this way: When they had information about the tattoo situation, it went to the NCAA," Delany told the paper. "When they had information about Jim, it went to the NCAA. And pretty much in real time I knew about it."
But according to the school's self-report and subsequent comments by Smith, Ohio State discovered the emails on Jan. 13, interviewed Tressel three days later and then informed Delany on Feb. 2 and the NCAA a day later.

"The NCAA will definitely want to find out how the institution found out about the allegations," he said. "There could be a possible failure to monitor allegation. If they found out about it because someone else sent in an open records request, then that means [Ohio State] found out about violations from somebody else external to the institution triggering that process. If the institution found out about it through their own way, then that could indicate that the institution did what it needed to do in order to find out about allegations."
Buckner added that Delany or members of the school would likely only face serious consequences if there was an intent to deceive NCAA investigators as to how they discovered the violations.
"It could have just been a misunderstanding. Or it could have been a different interpretation of the facts," Bucker said. "Their goal is going to have to be as thorough as they can with their investigation into this allegation."

I've noticed that the Dispatch said that a couple of times in recent articles. I recall from early March that tOSU supposedly found the emails while researching something to do with B1G expansion. I've been waiting to see a definitive statement on this lately.

tOSU hasn't said a whole lot lately, though, so we may have to wait a while to get that clarified, perhaps when they send the official response to the NCAA, which is supposed to happen by July 5th, if the August 12th hearing stays on schedule.

The timeline discrepancy should be a minor issue - some misunderstanding or somebody stating something incorrectly. I don't see why anybody would try to intentionally misrepresent the timeline,

Just like the CBS blogger made a mistake with the spelling of Buckner's name in the second quoted paragraph above, I think the Dispatch may have made a false assumption about the reason the emails were discovered, and printed it erroneously, but without any intent to cause harm.

Regarding Delany's statement, he either could have misremembered something, or it's possible that the discovery was the result of a FOIA request regarding B1G expansion, in which case there perhaps wasn't much misspeaking, but a fair amount of false assumptions about what was said.

Article -- calling out NCAA to (MarkMay) or get off the pot.

http://www.duanelongreport.com/2011-articles/june/justify-your-actions-ncaa.html

Article -- Interview with TP's Lawyer, stating new accusations are lies, and his client is not able to defend himself -- so he is through being an "indentured servant".

http://www.the-ozone.net/football/2011/Tresselaffair/PryorLawyer.htm

At least some of the Buckeye websites are making objective comments and letting some contrary statements be made.

The drip of the national sports talking heads tsk tsking the out-of-control Buckeye Sports Machine, and the angry mob of villagers with their pitchforks and torches demanding the death of the monster -- is becoming unbearable.

Remember when we had important concerns, like who would be the quarterback for the first five games, and whether Smith would challenge Herron for carries, and whether the D could replace those all-stars, and how many of the Ohio 2012 class would commit....... good times.
