All I am saying in this situation, is that we don't know the half of what really went on with this situation. Tressel obviously did in fact fuck up, and fuck up big time. No question. I just don't care that some are speculating and making this worse...if thats possible. I can freely admit I could be wrong. But again, I look at those around him sticking their neck on the chopping block and I find it hard to believe they would do that if it were as bad as some are making it out to be.
Nah it was a general statement. It seriously makes my head hurt to read some of these posts. Fact is, we don't know "what really went on" because Tress and Smith are measuring their words very carefully right now. Tress talked in circles the entire press conference and said a lot of things that just didn't add up. I still think it would have been wise for them to not issue a public statement and to just release a press release. The press conference created a lot more questions than it answered.
The smelliest part remains that somebody told Tress to hide behind the "confidentiality" as a reason for not going forward. After looking at the emails for 5 minutes it is apparent that "confidentiality" didn't come into play until 2 weeks later. Shady, shady, shady.
