In a response submitted today to the NCAA, Ohio State admits allegations that then-coach Jim Tressel lied and allowed ineligible players to compete by failing to report that they had sold OSU-issued memorabilia to a tattoo-parlor owner.
But my favorite part of the Dispatch story linked above was this paragraph:
"The responsibility is upon Tressel. No other institutional personnel were aware" of the violations, and the former coach failed in his obligation to report them, the response says. "The institution is embarrassed by the actions of Tressel."
(emphasis MZone)
Gee, when your own school is "embarrassed" by you, that's pretty bad...and also a damn good excuse to repost Vestocchio!

I guess it has been 1 hour since Michigan beat Ohio State
We'll see how many "tributes" they throw for him after this
Not to potentially burst your maize and blue bubble, John, but vacated wins only affected the team who has them vacated. The losing team does not get the win. Weird, huh? On the other hand, you might argue that since OSU voluntarily vacated the wins, they have de facto forfeited and you should get a win. But that argument probably loses because if OSU intended to forfeit the games, they would have said "forfeit." So the end result is that its still been a buttload of time since you beat OSU.
Just the tip of the iceberg.
It will be interesting to see what happens but I suspect this is only the beginning.
You know how people line up to watch an old building get imploded by professional demolition teams?
This is SOOOO that!
Can't wait for more strategically placed blasts of TNT

But? But? Gene Smith said this was punishment enough???
There's not enough punishment....
T9, I smell video idea.
tUOS will have Casey Anthony attorney, Jose Baez, handle their defense in front of the NCAA:
"members of the jury, I know my client is a liar and a slut....."
So, Sweaterboy is gonna testify at the NCAA hearing.
1st question you ask any witness like this is: "so, when you certifed compliance in September, you lied? And when tosu's compliance department asked you in December if you knew anything about this 'Rife' matter, you lied? But you say the testimony you are giving today is the truth?"
Touche' SiC.
Hoping you might work your magic Yost!
Soundtrack..."TNT" By AC/DC?
