I think cheating would be his legacy. He'll join Mark McGuire, Sammy Sosa and Barry Bonds, etc.. How much of a “legacy” will he actually have if he’s been cheating for years.

I don't think if Tressel was honest with the NCAA in December this would have gone away. There has been indications of cheating since Maurice Claret played there. Tressel couldn't be honest because this is probably just the tip of the iceberg showing now. The success that OSU had in taking good players from other states wasn't just because Tressel is a good reruiter or had a good program. We'll find out some reasons why in the next few weeks.

You're assuming that OSU will still have those titles after the NCAA and the league get done with them. According to the expose' in Sports Illustrated, the cheating has been going on at OSU since 2002. The NCAA has a statute of limitations of four years for violations. I know of no such contrainst for the conference. Of course, vacating those championships would probably just make the rings that OSU players have been selling more valuable as memorabilia. “…Ohio State will be shooting for a record seventh consecutive Big Ten title this fall…”

Pelini would be making a lateral move within the same conference, and Stoops has an easier path in the Big 12 now with Nebraska gone. Meyer is probably their first and only target. It all depends on how they do this year - if Fickell leads them to a 10 win season it will be hard to dismiss him.
