I think he is the candidate they wanted so they stacked the deck in his favor. The charade of the hiring process continues, but it is all for decoration. Something wrong with the Board of Trustees? Hmmmm. The Chair and both Vice Chairs not having degrees from UofA is a concern of mine. Four of nine do not have degrees from UofA (honorary degrees don't count). Unfortunately, donating to political campaigns can land one a Trustee position and that is the worst way to land one. The real question now is, what to do about the Trustees after Tressel gets hired. JT won't stay around forever so eventually a new President will need to be hired. Hopefully, the Board will have people in executive positions by that point so this disaster doesn't happen again. I'm curious. Is there anyone out there who believes this search process is a serious one that is going to land someone other than Tressel in the President's office?

Everyone time I read this stupid statement I cringe. The area of Cleveland where Quicken Loans and Progressive Field are was desolate and nothing was there with the exception of an Army Navy Surplus store. Do you remember what Prospect used to be known for....hookers in Cleveland. The area is now a full blown entertainment district with world renown restaurants. This argument has to stop...however they are using the statistics is obviously bullshit. Then let's talk about the actual tax dollars...the penny for every beer or wine ordered that goes to pay for it. Those taxes aren't breaking anyone. Those new stadiums spurred the growth of DT Cleveland to a point where they are now struggling to keep up with DT housing needs. DT Cleveland boasts a 95%+ occupancy rate for apartments with more coming online all the time. I think the tax structure outlined as part of this argument is all wrong. I'd love to see a so called "sin tax" to pay for this too.

"Criticism is the price of leadership." When people make hard decisions, they upset people. The problem with universities is you deal with kids and a lot of people on faculty who behave like kids. Children are easily upset. Just try to take a piece of candy away from one of them. It isn't a popularity contest.

Looks like they had a lot of fun making that.......I think it is great. If I am a recruit and watch it..........I have to think to myself that it looks like a fun place to be and fun people.
