[NU Sports] April 2010

[Beamsley, Jeff]

Interesting theory but really doubt it.

According to SI, OSU players trading stuff for tats and getting good car deals was really old news.

The feds were investigating the tattoo parlor for drugs, not NCAA violations.

It was only the email directly to Tressel from local lawyer implicating Pryor, and Tressel's reaction to that email, that was the start of whole "for want of a nail" saga.  If you can believe the OSU administration, they only found out in December when the FBI told them the same thing that Tressel had known for months.  So the earliest the Delaney was likely to know, assuming we can trust all that has been shared so far, is December.

The Nebraska invitation went out in June sometime.

I am not trying to create a story that doesn't exist but something just occurred 
to me. Jim Tressel's famous emails were sent in April 2010. Around that time the 
Big Ten began the accelerated move towards conference expansion. I will accept 
it as purely coincidence if that is the case, but right now I wonder if Jim 
Delany and his crew knew that trouble was brewing and the conference might look 
less attractive in the near future.
