[Husker] Tressel Suspended

[Jerry Meyer]

Uh-oh, as the old joke goes, Cleveland State is probably sweating profusely 
right about now!  (NCAA was so mad at (insert school here, in this case tOSU) 
they gave Cleveland State an extra two years of probation!)

Jerry Meyer
Murfreesboro, TN (having escaped the frozen tundra of middle Ohio and now 
basking in Marathon, FL, about 40 miles from Key West!)

ESPN may smell blood, but ESPN also didn't drive this story either. Yahoo! 
Sports broke the story, not the self-proclaimed Worldwide Leader.

Does Tressel deserve to be fired? Considering the fact that he continued to 
cover it up even after the NCAA got wind of it, and listening to some of his 
excuses, I'd suggest yes. E. Gordon Gee might want people to think he was joking 

when he suggested that Tressel could dismiss him, but I suspect that probably is 

closer to reality than anybody at tOSU wants to admit.

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?
