Tressel Out (per Columbus Dispatch)

Because all the Dispatch guys are in the parking lot at Wexner Football Complex.

 

Also, Dana Holgorsen applauds this news.

 

Could this work out any better for Tressel?

He builds a reputation as a national title contending coach.
Sinks the Ohio State program.
And is let go so he can restart at another university without so much as tasting any punishment put on the Buckeyes.

Brilliant.

Love the NCAA and is bogus rules.

Either simplify the rules and come up with a system of punishment that hits all involved

or

Become the minor leagues for the major sports and just pay the athletes already.

 

Don't bet on that -- if rumored major stories coming out in SI link Tressel to not only knowledge, but participation, in NCAA violations, Teflon Jimmy won't be working anywhere in college football for quite some time -- probably long enough to end his career.

 

Former Kent State guy as well...he has strong ties to teh area and would be a perfect fit.

 

Touched by the Fickell Finger of Fate?

 

Tressel was a cheat all the way back to his Youngstown State days:

You'd think that if Kelvin Sampson was hit with a show-cause order, Tressel would be nailed-on for one.

 

Oh yeah. Jimmy won't be coaching NCAA ball for quite a few years. And at 58 he doesn't have multi-decades left on his career clock.

 

Clem Haskins' rapid eye twitch just came back:

So who gets bumped out of the ESPN rotation to make room for Sweatervest?

 

He goes to the Big Ten Network and takes Glen Masons' spot. Again.
