This is long overdue. Did anyone read the SI article yet? Tressel has been hiding behind his Christian faith for 20 years and now he is gone hopefully forever. I do believe OSU will be back one day because it is a top national brand as far as athletics go, but it may be quite a while. Just depends on what the final verdict will be as far as punishment goes.
As far as the athletes getting paid, this is a very tired argument. These kids are getting all of their school paid for. All of their meals, their books, room and board, etc. They have access to the top tutors on campus. They travel around the country for FREE. They stay in great hotels...experience things none of the other students get to do. Is the system flawed? Of course it is, but what happened at OSU is truly deplorable and they should get hammered.
