Tressel resigned? Quick, let's relate this to Butch Davis

Posted May 31, 2011
As it stands nearly a year after Marvin Austin and John Blake brought all sorts of problems to Chapel Hill, Davis appears to be insulated from the type of damning evidence that brought down Tressel. While most of us roll our eyes at the idea of a head coach of a major college program not knowing the background of his ace recruiter or that he was basically acting as a runner for a sports agent, there isn't evidence of direct involvement similar to Tressel.
