talk about that President of Ohio State and the A.D. were well aware of what was going on
in the program. They said it was paying out his contract but it wasn’t.

Young men from all over went to his football summer camps and some of them worked
mowing lawns and other jobs to attend Tressel’s camps but when they had raffles the
winners of jerseys, shoes, balls, pants, and shirts just about always were players that
were going to go to OSU or that Tressel was recruiting because Jim and his brother had
rigged the drawings. When Ohio State wanted to talk about that and other ways players
got paid (he did that @ Youngstown State too) he was signing his book and giving talks
about doing the right thing for Jesus.

Although he was definitely an upgrade over Cooper and he had good relationships with
high school coaches, youth football coaches, and teachers throughout the state. High
School coaches tried to dissuade their players from going to Cooper’s summer camps

And he was very good @ not answering questions if he didn’t want to.
