Loathing All Things Georgia

He completely ignores the "not telling the turth to the NCAA when asked about it" part. I get the fact that there are a bazillion bits of information being thrown at a coach and program every day, and that you can't track it all down. I get that violations can occur and no heads will roll.
That said, his take ignores the elephant in the room - that a very very quick and dirty investigation for the sake of eligibility only - was done in December. If any of the powers in Columbus did not fess up to what they knew and when they knew it to the NCAA then, then it is an entirely different issue that Rea does not address. OK, he does say he refuses to believe that Tress would flat out lie. I agree with that. That ignores the fact that Tress may have provided a non-factual response because he had been misled by mistake, or was intentionally lied to, or told half truths - or been told one thing and simply forgot or confused the date.
Not that I think y'all are in trouble mind you, but that take is sorta whistling past the NCAA graveyard.

Ahhh... go back to the Alamo bowl and listen to Herbie go on and on about "where there's so much smoke there must be fire" ... he was chastising Tressel for not getting the program under control.
I'm not really worried about any of this too much. As someone said a million posts ago, the whole thing is based on a tats for jerseys "scandal", a few players selling their rings, etc. And the owner of the tat shop would likely not be considered a "booster".
If there is a LOT of [mark may] storm about this, then the after effects over the next six months would probably be in the Buckeyes' favor, as in, "a whole lotta crap about nothin'", especially when the Next Big Scandal hits the internet in another week or two.
Rick Pitino had sex in a restaurant with a lady who wasn't his wife?
Uh... so what?
final thought: would love to interview every one of the 19,456 Division I athletes with tattoos and ask them how they paid for them...

None of your above scenarios show Tressel intentionally deceiving the NCAA.

Yeah. But an NCAA violation would still occur - with potential significant harm to the program - if his staff or compliance folk knew and covered up - or knew and failed to investigate timely - or knew and failed to investigatge thoroughly. If anyone in tOSU employ had a hand in incorrect information being supplied to the NCAA during its investigation, that may be problematic.MililaniBuckeye;1885430; said:
IOW, Tress in the clear does not equal tOSU in the clear.
Again, not saying any of it is true, I'm just discussing the broad scope of the allegations and the scope of what may be involved. I am all in on Tress being 100% clear.
