As a Buckeye, and a USC hater, I hate to say this... but... Carroll was never implicated in the USC scandal. Yes, he did leave before the sanctions came down. And personally, I find it hard to believe that he didn't know what was going on with Bush, etc. But the fact is that he was never implicated. So, he shouldn't be held responsible by the NFL if the NCAA felt he wasn't responsible.
Boy, that was hard to write.
Pete Carroll never was implicated because he did nothing wrong. It was Reggie's stepdad who set the deal up with the agents. His stepdad got the free rent and he was going into business with the agents. Just like in Tressel's case and Miami, college football is becoming less about the players and coaches playing games, outcomes are being determined by people outside the university such as parents, agents and boosters. It's a sad state of affairs for college football fans.
Regarding Tressel, I wish the Colts would man up. Are they hiring Tressel and bringing him onto their staff or aren't they? Either hire him or don't. By hiring him and kowtowing to pressure to suspend him, they look like a bunch of whimps. What happened at Ohio State has NOTHING to do with his current employment, so if you are hiring him put him to work and don't suspend him for college related incidents primarily involving free tattooes for his players and the sale of memorabilia that his players personally owned. I hope Tressel gets a better job elsewhere soon, he's a good man and a great coach. He deserves better than the Colts, their crappy entry level position and their whimpy management.
