COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Ohio State says it's vacating its wins
from the 2010 football season, including the Buckeyes' victory over Arkansas in the 2011 Sugar Bowl.

Responding to NCAA allegations over a memorabilia-for-cash
scandal that cost former coach Jim Tressel his job, Ohio State says Friday it also is waiving a $250,000 fine it had imposed on Tressel and changing his resignation to a retirement.

Through the school, the ex-Buckeyes coach says that he is taking responsibility for the NCAA inquiry, which developed after it was learned Tressel failed to report players receiving improper benefits.

The university also is imposing a two-year probation period on
the program, which means there would be harsher penalties if any further wrongdoing is discovered.

Marshall opened the 2010 season playing Ohio State in Columbus. OSU won that game 45-7.

Earlier, the lawyer for Jim Tressel said his client will appear
before the NCAA's infractions committee next month.

May I say for Jay, "Ohio State sucks".

Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of folks.

Fuck Ohio State.

I was in Columbus over the weekend visiting my brother-in-law in one of the OSU University hospitals.

The talk show on WTVN-AM as we drove in Friday was full of callers saying stuff like 'Who cares? We know who won the games on the field' and 'Ohio State and the other big football schools need to tell the NCAA where to go'. As far as I know tOSU didn't have to return the bowl money even though an 0-12 team wouldn't have gone to a bowl.

One thing that was overlooked was that Tressel's resignation in May was now changed to a retirement in July. He was paid his salary for June and will get his state retirement & benefits. He also doesn't have to pay the $250K fine that was announced when he was originally suspended for 2 (later 5) games in the 2012 season. The talk show host (don't remember his name) wondered if there is evidence Tressel told someone at OSU when he learned what the players had been doing and someone (higher up?) sat on the news. So maybe in return for his silence on this possible 'lack of institutional control' he was allowed to retire.

Also, anyone notice how WVU slipped their announcement of their own probation under the radar on the same day as the tOSU announcement? They reduced themselves by 1 scholarship (which the Buckeyes didn't do) for the practice violations committed by RichRod & Stewart.

...WVU slipped their announcement of their own probation under the radar on the same day as the tOSU announcement?...

The next one will NOT slip under the radar!

Within five years:
1. WVU on MAJOR probation.
2. Dana Holgorsen in jail.

You read it here first.

The one thing that NO ONE mentioned in the media coverage of the Stewart/Holgorsen coaching switch debacle is the fact that THERE IS DIRT TO BE DUG UP...
