Jim Tressel had been paying recruits since he started coaching at the college level. He was a well-known cheater (with a backer) and that's why he got the big promotion for small time ball. When the Ohio wonder, Urban Meyer, was available for hire, suddenly, in a very convenient manner, Tressel gets busted for some tiny infraction and then fired. He was, of course, replaced by Urban Meyer. It was a fucking setup to get a better coach. When Tressel was their best option, shenanigans were covered up time and time again so he could bag the top regional recruits.
