You mean like how AJ Green (a star at an SEC school) was forced to immediately sit four games for selling a single jersey, but, at OSU, a more severe infraction resulted in suspensions that weren't imposed until the following season, thus allowing their players to participate in a major bowl game?
C'mon, Conne, Tressel really fucked up here. It would have been one thing if these kids had just screwed up on their own. It's entirely different when the head coach is directly involved in a cover-up.
Look, GA, drew the sort end of the stick. Everyone knows that the Green suspension was clearly a ploy to ensure that AL would go undefeated (save for the upstart Auburn Tigers) so that they would have the easy route to a repeat national championship. (10)
I (and the rest of "Buckeye Nation") saw this coming a mile away. It was pretty cut and dry when there was a press conference about it initially.
Hopefully the rumors are true and Urban Meyer is our head coach for the 2012 season.
Yeah, this sucks, but he probably deserves it. There is no way Meyer is comes north. He genuinely gets ill from all of the stress associated with coaching a major college program. He is gonna chill for a while and is probably one of the few people who say they are quitting to spend more time with their family and then actually do it.
And now just to prove how ridiculous it all is, how long will it be before Tressel signs a multi-million $$$ contract with some elite team that dares go 7-5?
I think he's out of a major program for several years. Look at what happened to Mike Price (who I would love to have come to OSU). He was the heir apparent to bring Alabama back to greatness and after his fall (brought by libelous means) he's been stuck in El Paso ever since.
