With his resignation, the shoe finally dropped on Jim Tressel of Ohio State today, hours before Sports Illustrated released a damning report on the violations that occurred under Tressel's watch. What started out as suspensions for five players for five games of the 2011 season (after they were allowed to play in the Sugar Bowl) has spread to 28 players over 9 years.
That Tressel resigned should come as no surprise to anyone who has been reading any of Sports Illustrated's coverage in the last few months. According to Andy Staples' count, nearly every coach who has been in the same situation as Tressel has resigned or been fired.
Add this to another chapter of the book It's Not The Crime, It's The Coverup.
