Interesting how college football, and the NFL are almost partnering now, in stuff like this.
BILL POLIAN ADDRESSES JIM TRESSEL
By Indianapolis Colts
Statement from Colts vice chairman Bill Polian regarding coach Jim Tressel.
After the announcement of Coach Jim Tressel's agreement to join the Colts as a game day consultant, questions were raised with respect to the equity of his appointment as opposed to suspensions being served this season by present and former Ohio State players.
Over the weekend Coach Tressel, Mr. Irsay, Coach Caldwell and I had a discussion of the issue. In addition, we had a conversation with league officials to apprise them of the details of Coach Tressel’s employment and the issues we were reviewing.
At Coach Tressel's suggestion, and with Mr. Irsay’s concurrence and support, we have decided to begin Coach Tressel’s employment effective with our seventh regular season game. We have informed the league office of our decision and expect that they will be supportive of it.
We are very happy Coach Tressel will be joining us.
