And second, the emails are all available to the public. Just as Tressels emails were available, why were the others (those he sent to), not? Doesn't make much sense that others were not exposed. This wasn't only an NCAA investigation, but a federal one as well. For those not to become public...many people would have to be involved in some major cover up.

I know this because I had an intimate conversation with the lawyer who represented Tressel in front of the NCAA during the whole ordeal (he made the briefest of appearances in 'Youngstown Boys')

I'll ask you this question to help you get a better sense of what I'm talking about: if you were a professor at OSU, and a legal issue came up in regards to a student or something that happened in class, who would you tell?

dwccrew;1554580 was in some sort of NCAA transcript, I'd think that would leak to the press somehow and they'd run with a story that huge.[/QUOTE wrote:
There is a difference between confidentiality and privilege. Attorney client privilege is a more narrow subject and is in regards to legal proceedings. Confidentiality is much more broad and seems like it should cover this supposed discussion.

But I really haven't followed too much about what lhslep was saying was discussed versus what was disclosed publicly (not just between Tressel and his lawyer) so I'm not sure what exactly he is referencing.

Carlee Tressel, daughter of Jim, weighs in on Youngstown Boys, but instead of discussing the film, she pens a heartfelt note to Maurice Clarett's young daughter, Jayden.

Dear J.,
I’m writing to you because of Youngstown Boys. You’re in the film, you know. We see you first as a newborn, and then at the end of the film, we get a glimpse of you tearing up the roller rink and playing on the beach.
My dad tells me that you love books and that your dad loves to read to you. It won’t be long before you can read. You’ll go to school and meet new people. Some of them will know you as you, and some people will know you as Maurice Clarett’s daughter.
There may be moments that it’s tough to be the daughter of. There may be moments when people talk to you about your dad and forget he’s one of the people you love most in the world.
Someday you will be old enough to read what others have written about him. Some of it will make you proud, and some of it will make you angry. You will be tempted to fire back. I know the feeling well. That’s the Youngstown in us, our loyal-to-the-end. In those moments, don’t take the bait. The words are not leveled against your dad, the person. They’re aimed at the persona other people see.
At heart, our fathers are not so different. They are seekers and thinkers and dads trying to do the best they can. They aren’t perfect humans but neither are we.
Someday you will watch Youngstown Boys. I hope you feel proud of your dad and the journey he has traveled. It takes guts for a person to tell his story. It takes courage to admit that our stories are always being written and rewritten.
I wish you the best as you write yours.
