So maybe after all, Ohio State should have seen this coming. According to reports, departments in Ohio State did performance evaluations on then current coach Jim Tressel.
Let's just say...his performance did not come out flawless. The report said he did an "unacceptable" job reporting school violations. I guess that's exactly what transpired in the football program's memorabilia scandal.
It's hard to understand why an athletic department wouldn't take action when their famed football program has a coach that could potentially tarnish their reputation in front of the NCAA. Quite odd...
Then again, Ohio State president Gordon Gee has made himself look questionable in the past, calling Boise State "Little Sisters of the Poor." Oww!
Other programs in the future should see these reports as warning signs. Don't just blow these things off as irrelevant. Talk to the coaching staff about what's is going wrong and work to fix it.
I mean let's face it, the coach can do more damage to the school than the school can do to the coach. His actions directly represent the school. When Jim Tressel lied, he lied for Ohio State. In the eye of the public, he didn't lie just for himself, but he lied for Ohio State.
