08:16 AM ET 05.31 | The resignation of Jim Tressel is tangentially an NFL story, with Ohio State possibly feeling a ripple effect. Two sources from the college game and three NFL talent evaluators all told The Sports Xchange they expect the five OSU players suspended by the NCAA for the first five games of the 2011 season to at least consider the possibility of petitioning the NFL for inclusion in this summer's supplemental draft. A source close to one of the players said he "remains committed" to returning to Columbus for 2011, but also conceded the departure of Tressel "puts some things up in the air." "I feel it's something at least a few of them will think about," one NFL scout said. Noted a college source: "[The resignation of Tressel] changes the dynamic a bit. Some of them might reconsider."

I'll be shocked if he plays there again. This current investigation is gonna get him.

I retract my first post then. If he is that stupid, he needs to stay in school and get a little smarter.

Brains do not = wisdom.... If the car story is true what he needed was not provided when he was growing up. Pretty much too late now.
