Jim Tressel Resigns

I love the logic some Ohio State fans give. Remember the old line Mom would always give you?

You: "But Mom, everyone is doing it!"
Mom: "So if everyone jumped off a bridge, would you?"

Just because others do it doesn't make it alright or correct.

To me the bigger deal is that this isn't the first time Tressel has been involved in some shady stuff. He had similar issues at Youngstown State. All indications are he's a great guy and players love playing for him. But he's on some Calipari-like level with these repeated violations at multiple schools

Hate it as I thought JT seemed to be a great nice and religious guy. But then again, as a spiritual person myself, I tend to make a lot of mistakes.
Hopefully he will land on his feet and learn from this.

I'm no OSU fan, but I stand by my original assertion. If the "rules" are so out of whack with the reality of the situation, assume that every major football school in D1 (except possibly ND, BYU and Stanford) is jumping off that bridge because the situation is wrong... not the bridge jumpers.

From the coach's perspective, if you're not jumping off the bridge, the other 10 or 11 schools in your conference are. And alumni and fans only care about the wins- you start getting behind everyone else b/c you're playing by the NCAA's farcical rules, the bottom line will get you ousted.

People only care about the method to success when they get caught. The lesson? Don't get caught.

Sounds like a great fit for the Cincinnati Bengals.

How can you say that?!? For God's sake Smoot the man wears a sweater vest.

I'm glad when douche bags like this get busted. Too bad that asshat Gordon Gee couldn't be fire along with Tressel.

The NCAA has informed Oregon's Administration that it will soon start an investigation.
