Is It Time To Clean House?

While I am of the opinion that Tressel should have been fired after the Sugar Bowl and the currently suspended players should have been cut before the Sugar Bowl. There are a few things that have yet to really be talked about seriously. The most important of all of them is this -

Should Ohio State clean house?

If you look at what happened at USC, Pete Carroll simply took a job in the NFL. He was never really the recipient of any sort of punishment. The interesting part of their saga is that they hired a coach (Lane Kiffin) that was part of the scandalized coaching staff and team to begin with.

I realize that at this point Coach Luke Fickell is the best/only option for this season. However, I am also of the opinion that he was part of a coaching staff that failed to adhere to NCAA rules. He was in a position of power as a coach and these things happened under his watch as well.

A big part of me wants him to stick as OSU's coach for the next 10-20 years if he wins and runs a clean program.

A bigger part of me thinks it is time for Ohio State to get rid of every coach and player in question (assuming there is a proper investigation that finds them guilty).

These questions will all be answered, but the question really is - Under what circumstances?
