Also Tressel asks for and receives the same 5 game suspension as the players

I had lost hope that they would get their suspension reduced. Although I think all of the suspensions are too long, I'm glad to see Tressel ask for the same suspension as his players.

Not surprised the players didn't get their suspensions reduced, but I am surprised that Tressel asked for the same 5 game suspension.

I agree, but I don't know why I was surprised that Tressel asked for the same suspension. It is something that I would normally expect out of him.

No surprise here. There is very little precedent of the NCAA reducing suspensions.

So Tressel only feels like he deserves a 5 game suspension because that's what his players are getting? He is supposed to be a leader, he should have done this originally, if at all. And I also think he knows that the NCAA is going to be harsher than what OSU was so he is trying to save some face.

I disagree that Tressel should have had a 5 game suspension originally. The university was appealing the palyer suspensions...I'm sure hoping for 2 games. Once that appeal was denied, he asked for an equal suspension.

But the coach should have been suspended more than the players in the first place.

Why? Coaches can get fined, players cannot.

Suspension + fine > suspension

so if the Buckeyes start out the season 5-0, should Fickell continue as the HC and have JT be his assistant? :p

So do you really think coaches shouldn't be held to a higher standard than the players?

And yes, I know the monetary loss is a factor, but I still don't think 2 games was enough.

It shouldn't have taken this long. What the NCAA decided for the players should have been irrelevant.

yeah ok :rolleyes:

This suspension is for the 2011 season, not the player's future. The suspension for the 2011 season is more when it is games+fine than just games.
