Most cover-ups do not end well. Now, Jim Tressel's tenure at Ohio State is over following his resignation on Monday. We could not help thinking about another resignation in 1974, the one in 1974 may not have been as big as this one was in Columbus, Ohio yesterday. Here is a good piece comparing the situation President Richard Nixon found himself in, with the situation that eventually forced Jim Tressel out in Columbus. One major difference between Nixon and Tressel is that there will not be a Michigan man taking over for Tressel.
