Tressel had early history of warnings
July 17, 2011 11:08 AM
During Jim Tressel's first four years on the sidelines of Ohio Stadium, then-athletic director Andy Geiger counseled his head football coach six times to improve his compliance with NCAA regulations.
Geiger documented his coach's shortcomings in warning letters, and the compliance office in 2005-06 rated Tressel's performance in quickly reporting rules violations as "unacceptable." Other aspects of his compliance efforts were judged "excellent."
The paper trail on Tressel's performance ended when Gene Smith succeeded Geiger as athletic director at Ohio State University in April 2005. No documents in Tressel's personnel file evaluate his compliance record during the last six years of his career.
