Jim Tressel To Akron Looks Like A Reality Afterall

"I have information from a reliable source that Jim Tressel and the University of Akron are in talks on a deal that would bring the Vest on board the UA athletic department in some capacity. The information came from a member of the University who requested to remain anonymous pending the deal’s outcome, but indicated that negotiations were beyond the early stages. In fact, the possibility of Tressel coming on-board at UA is “better than 50/50″ according my source. Also, I’ve been told that the two sides have been in contact for a while now informally, but once Tressel was officially out of the running for the Indianapolis Colts job, talks really heated up."

The Cleveland Plain Dealer and Akron Beacon Journal have both confirmed Tressel has remained in talks with Akron to become an Administrator since he declined to coach. He's currently in Ohio and in the next week will try to work out a deal with Akron.

Schefter via Twitter:

Akron hired former OSU coach Jim Tressel as VP for strategic engagement. Will help develop strategies and efforts to help students succeed.

Interesting, not football related, but still interesting.
