COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) – Ohio State President Gordon Gee says the university must “scrub everything” as it works to restore order after the resignation of coach Jim Tressel.
In a phone interview Monday, Gee told The Associated Press that university trustees are looking at compliance issues across the university, not just in the athletic department.
Said Gee: “Any time there is a mistake, or any time there is an issue that flares up, and we go back through and scrub everything very, very carefully. … We want to make certain that we’re asking all the right questions.”
Tressel resigned on Memorial Day following revelations that he failed to report allegations that several players had sold or traded memorabilia for cash and tattoos. The NCAA continues to investigate Ohio State’s football program, particularly in regard to improper benefits and cars.
