Ohio State Football Predicament

          Early on, a newspaper article stated that Ohio State Head Coach

          Jim Tressel was approached by DEA agents who told him of

          current players frequenting the tattoo parlor.  They recognized

          the players, feared for their safety.  Supposedly, they told Tressel

         to get his guys out of there, as the suspect under surveillance was

         considered possibly dangerous.     Tressel was also told, according

         to the article, NOT to notify authorities, or expose the investigation.

             That’s why he went indirectly to the quarterback’s friend, mentor,

        not OSU administration, NCAA officials, or have an open meeting

        on the problem.  As a result, he signed NCAA compliance statement

        unable to expose what was happening.

              Hope the Narcs have the balls to back up our coach.
