Jim Tressel suspended by OSU for two games and fined him $250,000 for violating NCAA rules by failing to notify the school about information he received involving two players and questionable activities involving Buckeye memorabilia.   :headscratch:

There's been a lot of hypocrisy going around with the NCAA. All I can say is that I am at least glad he hasn't lost his job. But we shall see later on. Everybody makes mistakes, but I think Jim Tressel made an honest mistake and at least he stepped up to his wrongdoing. Not many people out there that does that.

You nail it.  How many times you hear a college athlete that did something stupid and the coaching staff try to hide.  Nothing happens to the coach for covering it up, well, in most cases.  Tressel is trying to run a clean program.
