Tat Five Won't Die, Going For Tressel Now

Innocent?

According to a recent Yahoo! report, from an anonymous source, Jim Tressel apparently knew about the players fiasco way back last April.

"According to a source, a concerned party reached out to Tressel last April, alerting the coach that memorabilia transactions had taken place between Rife and a handful of Buckeyes players, including Pryor. The selling of items violates NCAA eligibility rules. The source said Tressel was troubled by the information, and the coach indicated that he would investigate the matter and take appropriate action.
Whether the coach initiated an investigation of the accusation is unclear, but all five players remained on the field in the coming months, playing out the 2010 regular season."

A lot of people are saying it's just smoke, and nothing is really going on but shunning the basketball team. Thing is, there are a lot of things that are adding up. Eleven Warriors posted this, saying a major school was about to get blasted. That was a week ago today, and we thought it might have been Oregon. Now, things are looking mildly ugly as heads are turning back towards the Buckeyes way. Tressel's Twitter (although not proven to be him) said this:  "I didn't know. Seriously ;)"

We will keep you updated, because today is most likely the day we will hear something that is either going to be really bad, or not matter at all.

Update: Tressel, Gordon Gee, and Gene Smith will be holding a press conference at 7 PM.
