This is not the first time that Tressel or his players have run afoul of the N.C.A.A. The former players Maurice Clarett and Troy Smith admitted receiving extra benefits while at Ohio State.
Tressel also faced N.C.A.A. scrutiny in his previous coaching job at Youngstown State, when one of his players was accused of receiving extra benefits from boosters.

Tressel was always way out of his league coming from YSU to Ohio State. Jim Tressel has resorted to being an exposed fraud who will do anything to win.
in addition to the board suspension and a public reprimand, Slurpee just got his account frozen, will be fined $250,000 and will have to attend a compliance seminar.
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State suspended football coach Jim Tressel for two games and fined him $250,000 for violating NCAA rules by failing to notify the school about information he received involving two players and questionable activities involving Buckeye memorabilia.

haterism and losing are what Cleveland is know for, not just in the NFL but their other crappy sports teams as well. Cleveland is a jealousy industry with a severe inferiority complex. not to mention who in the hell lives in Cleveland? name one person that would relocate to that city.
Again I ask, Why are the Browns fans so obsessed with the Steelers that they continually start new topics solely related to the Steelers. What does Harrison's off season surgery have to do with the Browns?
Yes we do mention Super Bowls because this is the present time measuring stick for an organization. We got 'em you don't. Why do the Browns fans bring up the 1920 football teams in Akron and compare that to a Super Bowl Championship?
Why can't the Browns beat the Steelers? Inferior? yes I think so or you could win the division once in a blue moon.
why is this a topic for a "browns board?"
what is the fascination with the Steelers that the browns fans have? Are they jealous of Harrison's Super Bowl rings?
So the Browns have Seneca Wallace, Delhomme, and Colt - the wimp McCoy(remember the Nat'l Champ Game when he claimed after one hit he had a "dead arm")
Holmgren is a genius at being mediocre. He wants to institute a west coast offense in the AFC North without the QB, RB's, and Receivers necessary.
Another year of failed expectations will result in a 6-7 win season. Keep paying the fat walrus boo koo bucks at the end of his career. He doesn't have a clue!
I'd bet a dozen doughnuts that Colt does not make it through this season. He isn't durable enough and has already proven in college that he can't take a good hit.
If you look at the history of the Bengals it is a dump of a franchise that Paul Brown created and now his son runs in the same losing fashion. Paul Brown has run two football teams and has never won a Super Bowl.
Ohio in general has the worst performing pro sports teams in the country i.e the Bengals, Browns, Indians. Why can't they win in Ohio? Is it something in the water? Even when Ohio teams put together good seasons they seem to be cursed in the post-season no matter what sport it is.
The Browns have never played in a Super Bowl. The Indians went from 1954 to 1995 without playing in a World Series. They still haven't won one since 1948. The Cavs one trip to the NBA Finals in history resulted in a sweep at the hands of San Antonio.
No wonder Palmer wants out.

Guppie,
The Browns have won 4 NFL Championships in 1950, 1954, 1955, 1964
Those are the facts. Ask anyone.
Ok Guppie, please get a clue will ya man?
Guppie,
I am talking legitimate titles for the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB
The Browns have won 4 NFL Championships in 1950, 1954, 1955, 1964 - not 13.
Ask anyone and get a clue.
later skater.
Cleveland has 15 titles compared to 14 for Pittsburgh. Pretty lean bacon you have there. You need some fatter pigs.
Watson will not have big numbers this year because Colt McCoy is injury prone and cannot take a hit. He will get injured playing in the AC North. If you look at what he did in the BCS Game against Alabama you can see why. The guy wimped out of the biggest college game of his career after the medical staff indicated that there wasn't anything wrong with him.
Let's compare both cities and their respective teams in terms of recognized championships. By this I mean NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL.
Pittsburgh NFL Championships (6), Cleveland (4)
Pittsburgh MLB ( World Series) (5), Cleveland (2)
Pittsburgh NHL (Stanley Cups) (3), Cleveland does not have a hockey team.
Cleveland Cavaliers NBA titles (0), Pittsburgh does not have an NBA team.
So when you add it all up Pittsburgh simply dominates the city of Cleveland in terms of "just being a better and smarter city" in terms of bringing the bacon home.
and the Pirates who blow still have won more World Series Titles than the Indians. We have won 5 you have only won 2..
Even the Pirates put your town to shame..
And the Pirates haven't won a world series since 1979Sucks to be you bitchzz
and the Browns big bad tough football team has never even set foot in a Super Bowl game let alone win 6 Super Bowls like the Steelers have done.
We have played in 8 Super Bowls and won 6 of them. Now go eat a moon pie and cry in your beer.
sucks to be you.
you'd think that Dawson's impact would have helped the Browns win more than 5 games.
and the Browns won 5 games. big whoop dee doo.
I Ben Watson is so damn good why did the Browns only win a total of 10 games these past two years? Why doesn't Watson have any Post Season statistics? hmmmm.
Name one other team who would pay 3.25M for a 36 yr old kicker.
