Here's a good look at what has gone down in Columbus so far and what could be coming next via an ESPN Outside the Lines report which aired this morning. The brass from OSU, and Jim Tressel will sit down with the NCAA this Friday to hear their fate.

As this report shows, the scandal at OSU goes far deeper than the head coach...who did a wonderful job maintaining plausible deniability up until the time he was caught in his own lies in December 2010.
ESPN writer Tom Farrey writes that the NCAA may be heading towards a fundamental change in the way it handles and deals with programs that break the rules.
