Sports Illustrated Investigative Report on Ohio State Football Program

I read this at my son's orthodondist's yesterday. A fascinating report: "SI investigation reveals eight-year pattern of violations under Tressel."

For more than a decade, Ohioans have viewed Tressel as a pillar of rectitude, and have disregarded or made excuses for the allegations and scandal that have quietly followed him throughout his career. His integrity was one of the great myths of college football. Like a disgraced politician who preaches probity but is caught in lies, the Senator was not the person he purported to be.
Apparently folks had come to call Coach Tressel "The Senator." Perhaps that once sounded kinda regal. Sounds kinda chinsey now. I don't follow Ohio State's program all that much, but they came to the Rose Bowl back in the 70s, and I've always admired the team.
