So Ohio State has gone ahead and suspended Tressel for 2 games this upcoming season in a pre-emptive strike to try and massage the NCAA from doing worse to him.
I don't think it is gonna work since the players involved received 5 games and Tressel basically lied to the investigators which as a HC is not going to be viewed upon very well.
Perhaps as many as 6 games for the sweater wearer?

Facing the biggest crisis of his career, Tressel never once apologized for knowingly breaking NCAA rules during a news conference on the Ohio State campus on Tuesday night. Worse, Tressel never owned up to not telling his bosses or NCAA investigators that he was aware that at least two of his players might have accepted improper benefits from the owner of a tattoo parlor in Columbus, Ohio.
