MaliBuckeye;1951915; said:ESPN is now suing Ohio State, claiming that they falsely used FERPA to keep from releasing emails between Tressel and Sarniak.
Suit info here.
There's rumors afoot that they did this with Texas and USC in the past as well, although no indication of what the result was (if this did happen).
OhioState001;1951917; said:As if ESPN's hate for OSU could be any more obvious
18. Ohio State violated R.C. ?149.43(B)(2) and R.C. ?149.43(B)(3) when itNCAA since 1/1/2010 related to an investigation of Jim Tressel, any and all emails or documents
summarily denied ESPN's requests as overbroad, without citing legal authority for that denial,
or providing ESPN with the opportunity to revise the request.
19. Ohio Revised Code ? 149.43 (C)(1) permits a party aggrieved by the failure of a
public office to make public records available to proceed with a mandamus action, which may
be commenced in the Ohio Supreme Court pursuant to its original jurisdiction under Section 3
of Article IV of the Ohio Constitution. Ohio Revised Code ?149.43(C)(1) also provides that
the aggrieved party may seek a judgment "that awards court costs and reasonable attorney's
fees to the person that instituted the mandamus action."
WHEREFORE, ESPN requests a Writ of Mandamus ordering Ohio State to make
available copies of all emails, letters and memos to and from Jim Tressel, Gordon Gee, Doug Archie,
and/or Gene Smith with key word Sarniak since March 15, 2007, all documents andemails, letters and memos
related to NCAA investigations prepared for and/or forwarded to the

any report, email or other correspondence between the NCAA and Doug Archie or any
violation) of NCAA rules involving the football program, since January 1, 2005, and a judgment
awarding attorney's fees and court costs associated with bringing this action.
CHU;1951923; said:Is there any way that Ohio State can just say "forget it" with ESPN (you're banned from our campus, etc.)?
I thought Luke Fickell was installing a media boycott of the network, but Vrabel was on ESPN today (so obviously not one there).
Just from this incident the past few months and ESPN's vendetta, I wish OSU would just leave it.
The Dispatch has pending records requests for the emails between Tressel and Sarniak, in addition to other documents. The Dispatch also has met with Attorney General Mike DeWine in an attempt to gain the release of the records.
