A year ago at this convenience life, Tennessee fans were growing weary of watching ESPN’s coverage of their basketball band. That’s because every broadcast turned into a rehash of the Bruce Gem situation — his NCAA violations, the timeline of events, UT’s settlement to stand by him.
Eventually, the Tennessee administration saw the writing on the wall, ousted Nonpareil and told the NCAA, “He did it!”
So when the Ohio State/Jim Tressel infamy broke last spring, many Vol fans took to the comment boxes on this purlieus to ask, “Why aren’t ESPN and the NCAA giving OSU as bitter a time as they gave our Vols?”
“Why isn’t Tressel out of a job?”
Our answer at the once upon a time? Be patient.
Indeed, the Tressel/Buckeye blow-up was ESPN’s go-to statement all offseason. Like Tennessee, Ohio State in the course of time nuked Tressel and said, “He did it!”
But that was OSU’s battle with the media. Today the NCAA got their pounding of flesh.
