Heads are going to be exploding over this.

Have at it.

Tressel isn't a bad guy, he didn't do anything anyone else hasn't done. I say let the Sweater Vest be the pres there.

I’m not surprised.

The same district that elected Traficant as their Congressman.

It will be interesting to see if his attempted cover-up will cause a sh!tstorm by the same people that want to ignore our leaders in Washington playing cover-up. Lets see - Tressel covered-up his players selling memoribilia that was given to them.

Perhaps Jim will blame it on an internet anti-wolverine video.

Hey man, Miles hasn't done anything wrong lol... How long will it be before UC Berzerkely asks Pete Carrol to be their prez?

Is this a joke?

No. They essentially admitted that their president is nothing but a figurehead fundraiser.

I deal w/ U Akron people quite a bit, there was some debate whether he'd get offered the job there.

I like Tressel, but it's kind of sad when someone w/ no academic credentials becomes the leader of a university. Yeah, it's all about fundraising.

I don't think that's too unusual. Many college leaders are simply figureheads....Ken Star at Baylor, Pete Boone at Ole Miss, and Alberto Gonzales at Belmont seem like examples.

There's almost always a provost to lead academically and a operations VP to manage the money.

I've noticed this as a strategy and trend among a lot of organizations. You get a PT Barnum out front who delegates most things so he can focus on marketing.

His first act as president will be free tattoos for his entire constituency!
