Tressel Enters Ring of Honor Amid Legacy

Jim Tressel, the iconic Ohio State coach who led the Buckeyes to a 2002 national championship, is being honored with a spot in the Ring of Honor at Ohio Stadium — joining legends like Woody Hayes and Paul Brown. Despite a controversial 2010 NCAA scandal that stripped wins and led to his resignation, Tressel’s legacy includes 106 wins, three Big Ten titles, and launching NFL careers, including Heisman winner Troy Smith. Now serving as Ohio’s lieutenant governor and previously president of Youngstown State, where he boosted graduation rates, Tressel remains deeply involved in public service. His induction will take place during the Buckeyes’ season opener against Ball State on September 5, as the university celebrates his enduring impact — flaws and all.
