    Tressel's a cheat. Wins over morals. Good riddance.

    He's probably a hall of fame coach in a sport where everyone is cheater. The nobility of college sports is gone.

    USC got popped.

    OSU got popped.

    The Cam Newton scandals.

    Simply put, everyone knows the landscape, some are just better at burying the proverbial bodies better than others.

    This is nothing new. This goes back decades. What surprises me is that people are surprised...

    Yeah, some of my friends that are Buckeye fans are just shocked!

    It's like the people who were surprised when Saban ditched the Phins for 'Bama.

    As far as I'm concerned, the Buffs aren't cheating enough...

    I want the days of McCartney back. That man knew how to cover shit up!

    What I get a true kick out of, is when another NCAA coach goes after a peer for cheating in the press...that is hilarious stuff. (I'm looking at you Lane Kiffin)

    Hey, I'd take Lane Kiffin as the Buckeyes coach.

    Gruden's already being rumored!

    I know there's cheating in every faucet of life especially sports but I never thought I'd see Ohio State have Tressel resign! So i'm shocked!

    Tressel's mistake wasn't cheating, so I won't call him a cheat. Tressel's mistake was covering it up, at least as far as everything that has come out so far.

    9-1 against Michigan.

    I think my buddies from Columbus love that about him more than anything. Especially after Cooper.

    I wish UVA would cheat more.

    Seriously though, i saw this coming. Tressel is a great coach and i blame the players more than him. The pressure for coaches (especially college ones) is huge to win and get the best players possible and sometimes that means getting players who have questionable characters. Now, Tressel may have tried to sweep this under the rug which he would be guilty of but its something ANY coach of some of the power house schools would be.

    EVERY coach will pick wins over morals. Every coach, if they have any success, already have made that choice.

    As mentioned, I know Michigan fans are happy this happened, purely because now they have something to hold against OSU. But the reality is, they wish they had Tressel on their side, no matter how much they deny it.

    Untrue. Only those that feel they're beyond reproach.
    Bitter Clinger. Deal with it.
