2011 College Football Megathread

They wont have many sanctions, I bet Tressel leaves on his own before anything bad happens.

Tressel cant fun faster than Pete carrol did, My prediction
last year is vacated 10 scolarships over 5 years
and 3 year bowl game suspension
Tressel will "retire" to spend time with his family



also he has the possibility to go to federal prison for impeding a investigation

3 year bowl suspension is a little harsh.

why would meyer come to a program thats gonna be on probation for 4-5 years Michigan had a better chance than OSU does

Meyer is from Ohio and many think the OSU job is Meyer's dream job. Just from a standpoint of in-state competition, the OSU job is up there with LSU and Nebraska. A lot of talent in Ohio, and all things being equal, they all want to go to OSU. OSU doesn't have to recruit. They offer scholarships and wait for the best players to say 'yes'. It's a cake jo, even more so than Florida. I still don't see Tressell leaving. I can see the NCAA adding to the penalties. But as long as Gene Smith (AD) has Tressell's back, he's going nowhere.

This is way too funny. What investigation? The NCAA? That's not criminal. Unlike Bruce Pearl at Tennessee, Tressell never lied to investigators. He was never asked about certain things, and I don't know how obligated the NCAA will feel he'll need to be.

I could see losing a total of 6 scholarships over 3 years and that would be the end of it. Last year won't be vacated, they won't be kept out of a bowl game. The scholarship cut would effect the coaches and not the players. I'd like to see Tressell suspended for 5 weeks and to include the game prep as well as the game. Let him work Sunday, but be require to stay off campus from Game 1 until after the MSU game. That would hurt the coaching.

This is way too funny. What investigation? .

the federal drug trafficking investigation with the tattoo parlor? the reason the DA was told these players were trading stuff for cash and tattoos, also dont forget the players might be facing IRS fines for not reporting the income


http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-footba...ranscript-federal-drug-trafficking-ohio-state



"When December came and we were given info from the Attorney General’s office that six of our athletes were involved, that was concerning. It was encouraging that no one was involved in any federal drug trafficking and there was no criminal investigation. That was a huge relief. At that time I knew there would be NCAA ramifications that we would deal with immediately, which we did."

emails from april of 2010 (before last season) tressel was told the players were breaking the rules making them ineligible for the season, the reason the NCAA will vacate the wins. This a much larger issue that most people realize

 

[moneypit]

also why did Tressel send the emails to pryors advisor instead of his superiors?

Tressell's bosses love him. He isn't going anywhere. He's not going to be prosecuted and OSU isn't going to get penalized anymore than what I listed. JMO.

Oliver from Columbus, Ohio, writes: Adam, if a change is deemed to be made now rather than later (meaning after the 2011 season or so), is it too late for a program like Ohio State to lure a big-named coach? Would the program probably have to go through the 2011 season perhaps with an interim coach and, if that doesn't work out, hire a coach next December (or so)?Would a big-named coach want to take over OSU right now, in other words, versus next winter?

Adam Rittenberg: Oliver, it would be tough to land a big name right now, but the Ohio State job has incredible appeal whenever it next comes open. This is a program with all the resources to compete for national championships every year, and some of the game's top coaches will be interested. It's important for Smith and E. Gordon Gee to protect the brand and ensure that this situation doesn't result in a major step back for the program. You don't want to become Notre Dame or Michigan, big-name programs that slipped back to mediocrity. Both men are extremely loyal to Tressel, but they have to put the Ohio State football brand first.

Hahahahahahahahaha! :roll:

And it won't make a bit of difference in Ohio.

It is highly known that Bri'onte Dunn who was once a solid verbal to OSU is now taking a visit to Ann Arbor. Not saying he's going to jump ship but the investigation is having more of an effect on recruits then you think.

Wrong It is documented that Tressel has signed papers to the NCAA stating that he complied with NCAA investigations(which we now know is a lie). With the new info coming out about him forwarding the emails to Pryor's mentor instead of his bosses there goes his defense about "protecting this players interest".

Ohio State is still on 5 years probation from the basketball problems it had back in 2006. The NCAA could consider this a repeat offender under the probation. With the 375 secondary violations in the last 10 years and the fact that Tressel lied to the NCAA they might nail him harder then you think.
Dez Bryant got 10 games for lying to the NCAA.

I'm seeing more then 6 scholarships lost over 3 years I don't think you get around this. Playing with ineligble players leaves no wiggle room and leaves last years games in doubt.

 

[97stangv6]

There should be a few more of the slot ninjas leaving soon.... I would hope they can pull out one of two from this upcoming junior weekend.

Well we got #2 on Friday another OL this time form Ohio. Caleb Stacey 6'4" 275lb who I assume will be a guard. That's 2 OL and I've heard we're trying to take 6 this year.

I'm heading out the door, so I can't reseach this right now, but it seems what I've read off of ESPN said he was never specifically questioned, unlike Bruce Pearl who was, by the NCAA. He lied to his bosses, or didn't bring it up. Bad? Absolutely. Any other penalties? I doubt it.

375 secondary violations? that's almost 40 a year. Do you have something to verify that? The other end of that is that the NCAA can't fire a coach. If OSU loves the guy, he'll still coach the team. Seriously, the players were penalized by the NCAA. Their 'crime' is no different than it was in December. I don't see them being penalized further.

 

[moneypit]

Tressel was never questioned but he signed papers saying his player were up to NCAA guidelines months after he knew about the tattoo deal

There should be a coupe more guys in the coming week or two I would image. The junior day was huge!

Your right, I just wasn't going to mention them until they confirmed. You got Ron Thompson (WR/TE) who is a heavy Michigan lean, Matt Godin(DL), and Kaleb Ringer (LB) who is going to announce April 15th.

This week will be the week of QB's visiting Zeke Pike on Tuesday and Austin Appleby and Matt Mauk on Saturday. Should be fun.
