Jim Tressel Asks Ohio State To Extend Suspension From Two to Five Games

Jim Tressel asked to increase his suspension from two to five games, the same length as his players who were suspended for selling memorabilia. It’s fairly clear from the delayed response, the rambling press conference and the initial slap on the wrist the school underestimated the situation’s seriousness. Eleven of the 12 NCAA coaches caught violating bylaw 10.1 since 2006 resigned or were fired. Tressel increasing his suspension is the decent thing to do. It should also alleviate the pressure on the NCAA to hammer him.

Akron Columbus, Ohio, 10 Toledo Columbus, Ohio, Miami (Fla.) at Miami, Fla., Colorado Columbus, Ohio, Michigan State, Columbus, Ohio.

WOW, is he a great guy, or what?
