Apr 25, 2011 - The Jim Tressel scandal at Ohio State just keeps getting better. Today we find out that Jim Tressel not only knew about the Terrelle Pryor violations, but he actively engaged in a cover-up that involved FBI agents, a slew of texts to Pryor, and not a single word to Ohio State.
So now the question becomes: Will Ohio State return the favor by saving Tressel's job? If Tressel's still at Ohio State next fall, how can anyone associated with Ohio State keep a straight face? For instance, here's the guy that Tressel allegedly introduced to his star quarterback back when he was coaching at Youngstown State
Breaking news on Monday that the NCAA sent to Ohio State a 'notice of allegations' that head coach Jim Tressel lied to them about the eligibility of players in the now infamous tattoo-gate incident and committed unethical behavior by attempting to cover the incident up. Evidently, the NCAA has rebuked Tressel in the strongest of ways and elevated his conduct up to the major violations variety.
If ever the NCAA was looking for a textbook case to lay the wood to a big-time program, unfortunately, Tressel and Ohio State walked right into this one. Tressel, seemingly once the poster child for what's right in coaching in FBS,  now stands to be it's biggest sacrificial lamb for the NCAA to then lay down the law for any program even thinking of going astray. Even Kirk Herbstreit went on the record yesterday, saying that it would be hard for Ohio State to move forward with Tressel at the helm.
Actually, Ohio State shouldn't be put in this situation. Tressel should do the honorable thing and unsheathe the seppuku sword. Tressel is a good coach and will continue to have a great career, but no longer at Ohio State. I guess for Tressel it would boil down to the old adage, "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em...."
