Jim Tressel Leaves Colts For University Of Akron

Jim Tressel is getting a "second chance" at the school where he started coaching. The former Ohio State coach, who resigned in disgrace last May amid a cash-for-tattoos scandal at the football powerhouse, was hired by Akron on Thursday as vice president of strategic engagement, -- a position newly created for him. Tressel will earn a base salary of $200,000 per year, more than $3 million less than he made during the last of 10 years guiding the Buckeyes. "I feel fortunate that I got this opportunity," Tressel said following a packed news conference unlike any in the school's history. "It's going to be a fun one." In his new position, Tressel, who said he has no interest in coaching in the NFL, will work with Akron's students, alumni and community organizations on a variety of issues. Tressel will not have any direct involvement with the school's athletic department, one of the conditions of the five-year, show-cause sanction he was given by the NCAA following an investigation.
