Ohio State notified of NCAA violations under Tressel by The Sports Network
Columbus, OH (Sports Network) – Ohio State has received a Notice of Allegations from the NCAA in regard to rules violations within the football program, stemming from last December’s issues surrounding the sale of items and memorabilia by team members.
Head coach Jim Tressel could face severe penalties from the NCAA, which alleges that he knew about the potential violations and failed to report them.
The school has until July 5 to issue a response to the NCAA. The Committee on Infractions is then expected to hear the case during its August 12 meeting in Indianapolis.
Last December, the NCAA suspended quarterback Terrelle Pryor, running back Dan Herron, receiver DeVier Posey, offensive lineman Mike Adams and defensive lineman Solomon Thomas for the first five games of 2011 season for receiving improper benefits. The players sold athletic awards, apparel and/or equipment to a the owner of a local tattoo parlor in 2009.
It was a controversial penalty from the start, as the players were allowed to participate in the Sugar Bowl against Arkansas.
Further investigation then determined that Tressel had been alerted to the potential violations in April 2010 and withheld the information from school administrators.
The NCAA’s Notice of Allegations indicates that Tressel only disclosed the information when Ohio State discovered emails pertaining to the issue in January 2011. The NCAA also alleged that Tressel, in September 2010, falsely attested that he reported to the institution any knowledge of NCAA violations when he signed the school’s certification of compliance form.
Tressel, who acknowledged his mistakes in March, had initially been suspended two games for his impropriety and was also fined $250,000. He then added three more games to the penalty to equal the length of his players’ suspensions.
The university said the allegations are consistent with what was self-reported to the NCAA in March. There was no allegation of “lack of institutional control” or “failure to monitor.” Those allegations usually result in stiff penalties, including vacation of records and postseason bans.
However, Tressel could face severe sanctions for lying. Many coaches accused of lying to school officials or the NCAA have either resigned or have been fired. The school, for its part in March, said it would stand by Tressel.
