Jim Tressel

Ohio State Coach Jim Tressel is getting in trouble for knowing that his players were taking improper benefits. Tressel was aware of these actions for at least 9 months and he is now being suspended due to these actions. The players who took improper benefits were given a 5 game suspension and Tressel told the NCAA that he wants the same punishment as his players. That shows me that Tressel is taking responsibility for his own actions and is showing good leadership by requesting the same punishment. Tressel broke the rules and he was getting a lot of controvery over it but I think that by him taking responsibility and taking the same punishment, he will finally earn respect back from the public and the fans.
