I know Tressel is President and not AD. He is still relevant to any discussion to add sports by virtue of being University President. When Tressel was AD, he was very, very good about compliance with Title IX. And, this issue is important to him. Tressel is big into diversity and equality. He also has 2 daughters, both of whom played sports. So, as President, provided money is there to add sports, I do not see Tressel allowing the Athletic Department to take the easy route.
As for Ron Strollo, he too is very good about Title IX. He too places an importance on diversity and equality. He also has a daughter who played sports, and a wife who ran Track & CC for YSU. So, I do not see him trying to take any shortcuts. One, because that is not in Ron's nature, two because he knows that is not in President Tressel's nature, and three because his wife would be very, very, very unhappy.
