COLUMBUS, Ohio-Ohio State 2010 big ten Championship, 12-1 season, his victories over rival Michigan and in the sugar bowl-all the way. Coach Jim Tressel, and so is Star quarterback Terrelle Pryor.

Left behind: two years even imposed probation.

The question is, will be whether enough to Ohio State Football from more severe penalties in an upcoming trip to the NCAA Committee penalties for it, see Save.

In response to NCAA violations committed by football players, autographs and souvenirs for cash and Tätowierungen--traded and a coach, the steel - covered Ohio State of its official response issued on Friday. Athletic Director Gene Smith hoped it would appease the NCAA ethics police.

The measures of the school include clearing the Buckeyes WINS from last season, a year in the Ohio State titles and Michigan captured an unprecedented seventh straight game a record-tying of sixth straight big ten won.

"I know that this is important," said Smith. "It can display not externally so many people, but this is significant." If you think about all the other athletes who have participated in these games, these records are gone. ...

"The NCAA do, could?" "I can not only to speculate."

Tressel found out in April 2010, that his players improper benefits from a local tattoo salon owner. In spite of contractual and NCAA explaining duties, not someone at the University or the NCAA for more than nine months, report. And what was only a five-game suspension for five players suddenly bloomed in a-Dur injury, not eligible for the whole season 2010 contain player knowingly play the a coach.

"Coach Tressel accepted, that after he received the information, he knew the players could not sell have the memorabilia or preferential treatment," lawyer in response to the allegations be Tressel said by. "He mind also, that required him to the compliance office about possible infringements to notify of the higher education policy." "He explained his thinking at the time, but offers no apologies here for his decisions."

In a reversal, Ohio said State-which said that it asked hatte-resignation for the Tressel on 30 may - Friday, that now agreed an entry into retirement had can call it there. The school also said that he don't pay raised $250,000 fine for his actions against him. On top of that, Tressel received last month from his basic salary ($54,000), decided, if Ohio State before the NCAA offenses on the 12 August, and he and the University agreed that they will sue each other would not work together.

Only last month, Ohio State vowed President E. Gordon Gee, that Tressel "the fine will numbers."

Tressel's lawyer, Gene Marsh, confirms that the associated press earlier Friday that the former coach, who led the Buckeyes to the national title in 2002, would be on the page at Indianapolis, when Ohio State his day with the NCAA.

Smith said there was no proof that someone at the Ohio State except Tressel had any knowledge of the players injuries prior to January of this year.

(AP) The answer to the NCAA does not mean that Ohio State suffering of are. The governing body for college sports could be even tougher sanctions, such as impose a ban on postseason game and a decline in the scholarships. The NCAA is expected to pass its sanctions six to eight weeks after the August.

Although many Buckeyes fans of school blame compliance Department of the human rights abuses, Smith said that it had done its work. He promised, adaptations, such as athletes, monitored and trained but said that he was upset not to his employees with compliance Director Doug Archie or anyone else.

He said compliance would use "a lot of different strategies" to do a better job.

In arriving at self imposed penalties, said faculty athletic Representative John Bruno, Ohio State respondents other cases.

"We have precedents across the nation for similar types of injuries and have sanctions imposed either by [NCAA] or even imposed," he said. "They seem right be."

The scandal unfolded in two phases. First of all, OSU officials was the said trade with memorabilia and sales in December and five players for the first five games of 2011, and a player for the opener.

She had frequented a tattoo salon and sold autographs signed equipment, championship rings, and even a bowl of sportsmanship award-all contrary to the NCAA bylaws that prevent that benefit athletes from their name or fame.

Then in January, the University learned that Tressel was known about the human rights violations since April 2010. After him for weeks, the University urging him to resign on Memorial Day.

Smith said a constant drums of revelations and claims all as forced Ohio State "separate from Tressel". He said that he was stunned when he learned of the Tressel of deception.

"At the moment, Yes, I felt betrayed." "Why not bring that me?" Smith said. "But I have gone on."

Officials said Friday they believed that she had uncovered all possible infringements of football players.

"You never know, but we have done many of due diligence," said John Bruno, Faculty Athletics representatives. "We saw us weeks to months to find something else, and nothing has come up."

Pryor was one of the original group of players, who was suspended for the first five games of this year. But he left OSU tried his luck in the NFL soon after Tressel finish. The NCAA added a five game suspension for a further player earlier this week.

Almost the current Buckeyes seem more severe penalties are expected.

"We are only promised, 12 games," security Orhian Johnson said this week.

Caretaker manager Luke Fickell said his players in the summer air conditioning, have accepted many of the changes that he has implemented in the program, but no one knows how they will react when the sanctions are complete.

"I think they are buying, but you don't know," he said. "Happen to other adversities and other situations, you will see what happens."
