Tress is stepping down at 7:00pm & Urban Meyer will be named head coach at 7:07pm. Book it.

Could be. But I don't know how a PC specifically does that in a way that a statement wouldn't. It gets JT's face on camera, I guess, but with the way that someone could phrase any type of question and with the unpredictability factor of a PC, I would think a statement would have been more straightforward to that effect.

Could someone perhaps record the feed from the OSU site in case it isn't archived? It sounds like my girlfriend is going to force me to miss this, and I don't want to read the after-effects without knowing exactly what went down, and how.

Here comes the BOOM
RE: Tressel meeting with players this morning
FWIW, when I was leaving my Spanish class around 2:30, I saw Chad Hagan and (From looking at the coaching staff page) program assistant Dave Adolph (Dave is an assistant in academic support and S&C), and they were talking about defenses and techniques, without even the slightest inclination that there was a press conference tonight... no idea if that means anything at all (It probably doesn't) but I thought I'd just toss it in.

Can you think of any greater action they could take than going face to face with the media. I mean we're talking the president, AD, and head coach.
Strongest PR response possible vs. a fax

At this point, none of us knows where the truth lies in all of this. But we have seen firsthand the reaction of tOSU administration thus far. Observing the school's official spin doctors in action can be pretty revealing.
Ask yourselves a couple of questions:
1. If the Yahoo story is accurate and has uncovered the worst case scenario we all fear, how would tOSU orchestrate its public response?
2. If the story is not accurate (or can never be definitively proved), how would tOSU respond to a skeptical national media that wants to believe it?
If the Yahoo story is true, you take a long time before responding officially, to gather all the facts and to take whatever disciplinary steps you must. You then hold a press conference announcing your findings of fact and the disciplinary actions you've taken. You involve both the A.D. and the President of the University in the press conference -- because the ramifications of the story will profoundly effect the OSU and its national reputation.
If it's false, you say so publicly right away. You can't let something like this just hang out in the media unchallenged. You demand that Yahoo reveal its sources and substantiate its story immediately. And you announce that you are giving the NCAA access to any and all email and phone logs that might shed light on the truth. You do this through your A.D. and his communications staff -- you don't dirty the hands of the President of the University in a food fight with an Internet reporter.
Now ask yourself, "Which course has tOSU chosen to pursue?"
This episode may have a happy ending, but the behavior of tOSU administration in the hours since the story first appeared sure doesn't offer us much hope.

show of support for the JT and the AD, will be as transparent as possible, the school has nothing to hide. Provided the authorities all the information possible and any notion that they haven't is pure hearsay. Yada yada yada

To lighten the mood, an Onion-style parody...
Yahoo! Report: Tressel knew of victory over Michigan in April.
"Despite statements to the contrary leading up to the annual Ohio State-Michigan in November, an unnamed source has revealed to Yahoo! Sports that Tressel was aware that Michigan had no chance at victory as early as April. The source reports that a concerned Michigan fan questioned Coach Tressel about the Wolverine's chances at a Big Ten function, to which Tressel responded with hysterical laughing. If true, Tressel did not disclose this knowledge in the months leading up to OSU's mastery over Michigan for the 7th straight season."
