Was given a free suit and was thrown off the team. Joe is a dying breed of coaches. It is a shame cause Tressel was a good coach and still could have won if he was more diligent.

There is no cut off. As long as university people aren't paying the athletes let everything else go. Try to enforce some sort of academic integrity in having stricter ineligibility standards. IF some alum wants to give a kid a thousand bucks to buy food or fly home who gives a crap. Yeah, this would be corrupted beyond belief I guess if the university is the one paying in the end. But an agent paying a superstar...who cares?? Why can't a kid earn money while in college?? HOnestly what would change?? Like the SEC still wouldn't dominate the playing field in football? Like Kentucky still wouldn't be good with Calipari in B-Ball?
