Urban Meyer Opens Up: The Hidden Feud With Sports Illustrated That Still Haunts Him Today
Tressel, who was found to have lied about his knowledge of the NCAA rule violations, resigned following the report. The NCAA also banned the Buckeyes from the 2012 postseason, preventing Meyer’s team from vying for a title.
On his Triple Option podcast, Meyer lamented a missed opportunity to play Notre Dame for the national title because of the NCAA’s “very punitive” response.
“They were trading memorabilia for tattoos,” Meyer said. “So, competitive advantage, zero. There’s nothing there.”
While Meyer acknowledged the rule violation, he claimed Tressel ended any wrongdoing once he learned of the situation. Â
