Embattled coach Jim Tressel has resigned from Ohio State, The Columbus Dispatch has reported, citing university sources.
The news comes two weeks after Buckeyes athletic director Gene Smith affirmed his support for the coach, who has coached Ohio State for 11 seasons.
At the Big Ten spring meetings earlier this month, Smith -- while declining to discuss any details of an ongoing NCAA investigation of Tressel -- said his outlook toward the coach's position hadn't wavered.
"Oh, definitely, no question," Smith said. "I haven't changed, I haven't changed. But I'm not talking about the case beyond that."
Smith noted last month in an interview with The Associated Press that Tressel should have apologized at a March 8 news conference, where Tressel acknowledged he failed to notify Ohio State officials of emails he received about some of his players receiving improper benefits.
Smith has also talked about the high legal costs Ohio State is dealing with, calling the ongoing NCAA situation "a nightmare."
Tressel also received support at the spring meetings from fellow coaches such as Michigan State's Mark Dantonio and Northwestern's Pat Fitzgerald, as well as from Nebraska athletic director Tom Osborne, a longtime friend.
"Coaches are great," Tressel said. "They understand all the challenges everyone has. It's good to be with them."

Word? Damn what's up with all these high level coaches being from Ohio? Stoops brothers, Meyer, Gruden, .......... -
this was done obviously to save the programs ass, along with the A.D. and president who said "I should be lucky if Jim Tressel didn't fire me!!" so this begs the question, death penalty anyone? you have to come down way harder on ohio state than USC. no excuse to go soft on them.
-
Ohio Lost .
-
I'm sorry, I can't be outraged by this resignation when them players did nothing wrong. Trading in jerseys for tatoos? Its called bartering. The NCAA has become the gestapo, singling out programs and people for no reason when they feel like it. I wonder what program is gonna be next on their summer jam screen.
Oh and its good to have the IC back -

Yeah, Ohio is a breeding ground for coaches. Really, the midwest in general. All the best coaches either come from the southwest (Texas, Oklahoma, etc.) or midwest (Great lakes states, etc.).
And THANK ? Urban Meyer and Gruden are the two front runners 'cause I don't need them sweatin' my boy stoops.
But then again, with USC-like sanctions on the way, I don't think they'll be able to get a big name. Urban Meyer didn't leave Florida to get 3 scholarships a year at OSU and no bowl games. Only a young fool would fall for a gig like that.......

My bad, bruh, lol. But y'all ? for a minute out chea. Oregon 'bout to clean up on the West Coast recruiting-wise for the next 3-4 years. Looks like it's back to the mid 90s for USC and the Lakers. '85 Delorean like a muhfugga.
All y'all need now is for Marcus Allen or Reggie Bush to get arrested for killin' some white ? and her Jewish boyfriend in Brentwood to make the cypher complete. lol
