In December, the U.S. Attorney General tells OSU that their players were selling their items to the tattoo guy. The TatGate investigation ensues. Tressel knew about the selling of the items but didn't report it because there was an ongoing federal investigation.

In January, OSU, while dealing with the appeals process for TatGate, becomes aware of the information that Tressel witheld and brings in the NCAA to help with the matter.

Yesterday, Yahoo sports leaks the information about OSU/NCAA investigation that began in January. Because of the leak, OSU holds a press conference to address the matter.

OSU isn't just now punishing Tressel because he was outed by Yahoo. They have been dealing with this since January, but some dumbass leaked it to Yahoo.

Tressel is in the wrong, but OSU wasn't trying to cover anything up. They have been working with the NCAA to resolve the matter since they actually became aware of it. Tressel apparently was concerned with disrupting a federal investigation, but he still should have said something.

Does that about cover it? Some of the posts on this thread make me wonder if anyone actually listened to what was said.

ironman02;704063 wrote:I think this is causing a lot of confusion for everyone.

The guy that the OSU players were selling their stuff to was a suspect in the drug trafficking case. The players, themselves, were not suspected of drug trafficking, but they were associated with someone who was. Does that make sense?

Also, have been in a better job for a year and a half.

So, facts are against you in that case too.
