tOSU seems to be sending a strong, clear message to the Dispatch and 10TV. To me, this sounds like "Watch yourselves, if you're reckless in future reporting about tOSU that we feel damages the University, you'd better get your lawyers ready."

"The University's filings to the NCAA; Coach Tressel's formal, written response to the NCAA's Notice of Allegations on July 8; and the NCAA's own Case Summary received (July 21) all make clear that when Coach Tressel was interviewed by a number of people within the institution on Dec. 9 and Dec. 16, he did not share his knowledge about the NCAA violation.
"As we have previously stated to the public and the NCAA in our filings, Coach Tressel only sought advice from the University in Jan. 2011 - after the university had discovered emails that showed that he had knowledge of the matter and in contradiction of is statements to the University the previous December. That sequence of events is summarized clearly by the NCAA in its Case Summary.
"The University categorically denies anything to the contrary, and such allegations are inconsistent with the conclusions of the NCAA and the University.
"Any attempt to characterize events differently would be unnecessarily damaging, inaccurate and entirely misleading."
Speaking after an Ohio State Board of Trustees meeting on campus, board member Robert H. Schottenstein also expressed dismay the story had seen the light of day.
"The NCAA's case summary unequivocally agreed with our assessment that we had no prior knowledge," Schottenstein said. "I categorically deny it. I think it's wrong, I thin it defames Ohio State University and the individuals who are mentioned and I deeply regret that the story has come out because I just do not believe that it's true."
