"Ohio State’s record-tying sixth consecutive share of the Big Ten championship could be wiped out of the record books if a report proves true that coach Jim Tressel knew last spring that several of his players had sold personal memorabilia – more than eight months before school officials were made aware of the transactions. The coach’s job could be on the line, too.

The students involved were business majors, selling these items were just part of the classwork at OSU. The coach got a share of the profits, so it's all good.
 
OSU previously investigated their players, but it was played close to the vest so the NCAA didn't find out.
 
All teams push the boundaries, no doubt. But Tressel is a dirtbag. Look in to his tenure at Youngstown St., and how he left them.
 
So whatever happened to the delete post feature on this site for double posts...?

Violations of Bylaw 10.1 are considered major infractions by the NCAA. Ohio State's self-reporting of that violation does not preclude NCAA investigators from tacking on more accusations after they finish their inquiry. Based on previous cases, Tressel also could face charges of failing to promote an atmosphere of compliance and a failure to monitor for not reporting the information to the NCAA. Both of those also are considered major violations. The NCAA also could force Ohio State to vacate all 12 wins in 2010 for using players Tressel knew to be inelgible.



Tressel also could face additional penalties from the NCAA's Committee on Infractions. He will be called before the committee after NCAA investigators complete their inquiry.



Tressel, 58, has gone 106-22 and won a national title and seven Big Ten titles at Ohio State. Tressel's contract, originally signed in 2005 and since extended through 2014, addresses his responsibility for reporting violations of NCAA rules. According to the contract, Tressel must "supervise and take appropriate steps to ensure that Coach's assistant coaches, any other employees for whom Coach is administratively responsible and the members of the Team know, recognize and comply with all such laws, policies, rules and regulations; and immediately report to the Director and to the Department's Office of Compliance Services if Coach has reasonable cause to believe that any person or entity ... has violated or is likely to violate such laws, policies, rules or regulations." Another section of the contract explains the scenarios in which Ohio State could fire Tressel for cause. One such scenario is for "Failure by Coach to report promptly to the Director any violations known to Coach of governing athletic rules or Ohio State rules and regulations by assistant coaches, students or other persons under the direct control or supervision of Coach."



Five players -- quarterback Terrelle Pryor, tailback Boom Herron, receiver DeVier Posey, offensive tackle Mike Adams and defensive end Solomon Thomas -- were suspended for the first five games of the 2011 season after it was discovered they had sold items to Rife. (A sixth player, linebacker Jordan Whiting, is suspended for one game.)



The players were allowed to participate in the Buckeyes' Sugar Bowl win against Arkansas because school officials claimed they had failed to properly educate the players about rules barring the sale of team-specific awards and memorabilia. It is unclear whether this new information will affect that punishment. The players' appeal of the punishment is scheduled for later this month.
