[the great 48]

Meanwhile Tressel gets nothing, the former players who have left get nothing, and those who have stuck behind get screwed. There should be some other recourse that can be taken to punish the people who were involved besides a slap on the wrist.

All involved got suspended.
Pryor got suspended for games in the NFL that have nothing to do with college.
Tressel lost millions of dollars and a dream job and it tarnished his reputation. Hardly a slap on the wrist.
