Tressel knew of violations 8 months pryor?
Per Yahoo! Sports
Ohio State coach Jim Tressel was informed that several Buckeyes players were selling memorabilia more than eight months before the school claims it was made aware of the scheme, a two-month Yahoo! Sports investigation has found.
Tressel received information that players were selling items to Edward Rife – the owner of Fine Line Ink Tattoos in Columbus – as early as April 2010, according to a source. However, neither Ohio State nor the NCAA investigated the transactions or the players’ relationship with Rife until December 2010, when the school claims it was informed of the situation by the local United States Attorney’s office.
Ohio State cheats? Shocking.
<br>
<br>Is this the story that's been rumored to come out for the last week or so?
kills... er cheats.
Maybe next time you could post an even older and worn out "joke"?
Stop being so ornery.
They were making this sound like a huge breaking news thing. If so, this'd be weak.
Yeah, I was hoping for something good, but this is Boren me.
This story might have a Hartline.
judgement until the Hayes clears...
Its just weird because I always thought Tressel was such a Hawk about these things..
Tressell needs to come out and Clarett up.
You guys are Poseying some interesting questions.. What do you think Tressel does from Herron?
Here is hoping he Coopers up.
I imagine he is having a hard time staying Saine through all of this
I called "Not A Blue Fan" to Chekwa he knew about it. He said he ain't Herron anything.
I heard they'll have to Krenzel out their 2010 Big Ten Championship if it sticks.
n/m already used my joke
Maybe we should reserve judgment Pryor to receiving a response from Not a Blue Fan? Nah.
If we're going to start getting philosophical about the nature of story telling, I'm going to need a glass of Clarett.
I had a feeling he had some Pryor knowledge
Watch your Pace. That one's already been used.
100,000,000 internets to the first person to come up with a Sanzebacher pun
Gesundheit
I hope Sanzenbacher gets the clap from a dirty whore.
Does that work?
Was your goal to come up with a pun or to give me abdominal distress.
If the latter, mission accomplished.
Sanzenbacher - n = Sanzebacher
I went to the Red-Light District in Amsterdam where I paid a "professional" to give me a Sanzenbacher. Three weeks later my doctor told me that I had a raging case of Laurinaitis. It itches sooo bad.
I don't think I've ever been so terrified of potentially sexual terminology since I met Dirty Sanchez one day.
when you go pounding your Big Pete Johnson into the hole up the middle.
I think I need to go to Herb Street and get me a beer.

I do not think this is the same story.
How much you wanna bet that the NCAA won't even sniff it?
Nice to know that he was informed so far back about this, but do you honestly think anything is gonna happen?
Ohio State is no more of a sacred cow than Michigan or USC. If we can go on probation, so can they.
Mainly because there will turn out to be nothing to it.
The press in Columbus is reporting this as if it is true Tressel is out the door. Two of the local 2300 news said this, obviously not siting sources. The local press, at least at this point, seems to be more than willing to kick Tressel to the curb....if it turns out to have real substance they may circle the wagons to defend him.
Directly lying to an NCAA investigator would almost certainly bring a show cause penalty (this is what everyone expects to happen in the case of Bruce Pearl) which forces the university to justify why they continue to employ the coach to the NCAA. Such a penalty almost always results in firing said coach (with cause).
Providing the investigation is actually true, this will probably not bode well for any appeal to the suspensions. Hell it sounds more like the dreaded "promoting a culture of non-complience" to me.
It's not like they were taking cars for 1000 mile test drive out of state.
Oh come on. Everybody knows that wasn't a special privilege given because they were athletes. I'm sure everyone on this board has test driven a car across state lines at twenty years old.
Absolutely shocked that a team that chants "Don't give a damn bout the whole state of Michigan" could do something like this.
I thought they had more class and integrity.
Thanks for getting that stuck in my head. At this point I would be willing to listen to a Black Eyed Peas album to get that thing out of my head.
Much less annoying IMO.
NOT COOL, BLUEDRAGON...not cool.
I got five words in and scrambled to turn it off.
My work here is done.
1) Shari Lewis is about as tall as those kids are
2) I somehow remembered not only every word, but every part where she says something like "alright, I get the joke!" What the hell is up with that? I'm 21 and haven't seen this since I was 8 years old or earlier. Funny thing, long term memory, especially in the developing stages of the brain... I wouldn't be able to tell you Shari Lewis without googling it (I did), or the parts without hearing them, but I can recall that on hearing it. That song must have been played a lot at preschool or something
Two or three state lines actually......
