YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: Jim Tressel

I agree with you quinpen.  Every college football player in D1 and D2 must sign a NCAA compliance form.  If they do not, they are not cleared to play.  simple as that.  Those are the rules and everyone associated with college football knows that - especially the coaches!!  The fact that Tressel would sign his compliance form KNOWING that he had players that were not compliant and, allowed them to sign those forms is WRONG!  No other way around it.  It's unfortunate that he has to lose his head coaching position at OSU because he covered up what those few players took upon themselves to do what was completely wrong.  Does he deserve this punishment - absolutely!  Yes, I am sure this happens more times than not - but he got caught.  They need to catch them all.  Maybe NCAA will crack down and really start coming down on these players and coaches that have the arrogance (sp) to get away with this.  College football is a billion dollar business.  Bottom line is it was more important for him to cover up for his "star" then do what was right which was to turn Pryor and the other players in the moment he found out about it.  It's a shame! But maybe this is a wake up call.

I don't know anything about this kid but I would assume that if Pitt signed him, he had to have some type of talent carrying the ball.  But with the highest recruiting abilities in the land here at YSU, it does not surprise me that we would not be interested in him.  We have the knowledge and ability to recruit the best of the best! Wasn't that this coaches claim to fame - he knows how to recruit!

guin, you completely missed my point.  I am certain it was football related.  That is Wolford's response to every player that has left his program. And there have been more this year than in probably in the history of YSU football combined.  How many Heacock era players are left? That is what I meant when I said - I hope his recruiting abilities are as good as he THINKS they are?   I have not been impressed with anything about him (on or off the field) but this season will tell because he now will have a team that is almost completely his and he can no longer blame his losses on other people.

"Decision was not football related" - was that Wolford's contribution the article?  I agree, you will probably see quite a few more leave before September.  I hope his recruiting abilities are as great as he claims they are.
