THOUGHTS ON TRESSEL
By mark rogers

I know it's old news by now, but the Jim Tressel stuff was pretty jaw dropping.
That's why I've come to the realization that nothing should EVER surprise me. Tressel, the epitome of honesty, upstanding coach, straight-laced, integrity, by the book...makes an unbelievably grotesque and flagrant rule violation.
Not a "well, that's a tricky part of the NCAA rulebook and could've been an honest mistake" type thing.
NO.
This was a blatant "I know exactly what I'm doing, this is completely against the rules, horribly wrong" act.
Go to espn.com and read the emails between him and the ex-player/lawyer who tipped him off on the illegal goings on. Pretty crazy that he KNEW what was going on. KNEW it was a violation. KNEW what he was supposed to do about it. And did absolutely nothing. Why? Because disclosing the information would have meant a suspension of his best player and would have ultimately cost him a Rose Bowl win.
I know we all make mistakes, but this one really surprised me (even though I KNOW not to be surprised by anything anymore). I just thought Tressel was different.
I also thought Charlie Sheen was normal.
