ESPN appears to smell blood in the water.

I think they're still basking over their role in having gotten Mike Leach
fired.  

Does Tressel deserve to be fired for this?  Probably not, although a 2 game
suspension is kind of unusual, and I'm not sure how you enforce something
like that.  He may not be on the sidelines or even in the building, but 
who beleves that he won't still have some involvement in preparing the 
game plan for those games?  

Will the NCAA make enough of a fuss about it to force OSU to take action?

The odds are still against it, I think, but I also think the NCAA blew this
one in December/January (as well as the Auburn situation, which I suspect
was far worse than what anyone has dug up yet), so it'll depend on whether 
they feel the need to make a public example of SOMEONE.

And if that's the case, and if it isn't sweater vest boy, woe be to
the next coach who doesn't dot all his I's and cross all his T's,
especially if he's not at a big name school.
