Column: Looking back at Tatgate 10 years later

Sunday will mark 10 years since Buckeye Nation was rocked by Jim Tressel’s resignation as head coach of the Buckeyes. It’s amazing how looking back on Tatgate after a decade, just how frivolous everything in the scandal was. Had Tatgate happened today, it wouldn’t even register as a blip on the radar in college football, especially with NIL legislation picking up steam in Ohio and around the country.

Tatgate became public when it was announced on Dec. 22, 2010 that Terrelle Pryor, Mike Adams, Dan Herron, DeVier Posey, and Solomon Thomas would all be suspended for the first five games of the 2011 season.
