发帖数: 764 | 1 COLUMBUS, Ohio - The Ohio State football program distanced itself from
perhaps the biggest problem in the NCAA's eyes when head coach Jim Tressel
turned in his letter of resignation.
Jim Tressel resigned, but Ohio State could be facing more trouble.
Though on the surface that move would seem to get Ohio State back on the
right track, the program could be facing a summer-long saga that will
consist of new names, stories, and allegations before the team meets with
the NCAA Committee on Infractions Aug. 12.
As recently as last night the Columbus Dispatch reported Ohio State and the
NCAA have been involved in an investigation of quarterback Terrelle Pryor
for receiving additional benefits aside from the ones he received as part of
the "Tattoo Gate" incident.
That investigation will dive deeper into why Pryor had been linked to
several different cars during his time at Ohio State. Many feel as if the
investigation into Pryor specifically could mark the end of the quarterback'
s career.
The report on Pryor came soon after the long-awaited Sports Illustrated
article was published Monday evening that reported that nearly 30 Ohio State
players had been linked to trading or selling memorabilia given to them by
the program in exchange for money, tattoos, or even drugs.
Amid the SI report was potentially the worst news of all - nine players
currently on the roster were mentioned in the 3-page online story, many of
which are expected to take on key roles for the Buckeyes in the fall.
Those names mentioned that are currently on the roster were safety C.J.
Barnett, linebacker Dorian Bell - who is already suspended for the season -
running backs Jaamal Berry and Bo DeLande, defensive back Zach Domicone,
linebackers Storm Klein and Etienne Sabino, defensive linemen John Simon and
defensive end Nathan Williams.

Terrelle Pryor is under investigation for receiving extra benefits.
Five of the nine mentioned players above are either currently listed No. 1
on Ohio State's depth chart or expected to play large roles in rotations in
the fall. Ohio State and the NCAA will clearly continue to investigate each
player and their potential involvement in rule violations.
Then of course Ohio State has to endure a summer-long anticipation for
waiting until the Aug. hearing where the program will likely be informed of
its looming sanctions. Scholarship reductions, bowl bans, and potentially
further suspensions for involved players could be handed down.
Even with the resignation of Tressel - who ultimately lost his job for
covering up the transgressions of prominent players - Ohio State faces a
summer in which it will continue to be scrutinized by new reports and
allegations.
It was the continuous re-surfacing of the same stories with a new twist that
potentially cost the head coach his job, as athletic director Gene Smith
and university president E. Gordon Gee stood by Tressel's infractions in the
initial press conference on March 8.
The demise of Tressel could help with leniency from the NCAA when further
punishment is inevitably handed down. However, the head coach's resignation
could potentially be only the start of the longest summer in Ohio State
history. | b**j
