As a college football fan, it is a little disappointing to see Jim Tressel resign as the head coach.  I remember back in the fifth grade when I saw Ohio State win the national championship game.  Before this year, I did not care for college football and I didn’t care about Ohio State football that much.  I guess I was too young and I didn’t pay that much attention to it.  But after that year, I was hooked on football and I look forward to seeing Ohio State play every year.  My parents took me to my first game in 2006 and this experience made me appreciate football even more.  I am also disappointed by all of the alleged crimes committed by the players.  I only hope that after all of these allegations that Ohio State will still be good and people will still be excited for football.  I know I am still looking forward to next year’s season.  It is disappointing to see Tressel resign.  I have always been a fan of his and I wish he was able to leave under different situations.  I know what he did was wrong, but people should remember him as a good coach and not for the penalties he has been accused of.  I think players should be more conscience of their decisions and try to not give in to bribes or offers.  I realize that it is hard to say no if someone is offering you something for free.  But if you know that your actions will affect your entire school and team, you should think twice before accepting gifts illegally.
