Jim Tressel Goes Old School

Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel was recently part of a $1 million donation to the Youngstown State (OH) football program, helping to fund a new indoor practice facility. Tressel coached at YSU for 15 years before accepting the Ohio State job in 2001.

“YSU will always hold a special place in my heart,” said Jim Tressel, who spent 15 successful seasons as head coach of the YSU Penguins football team before taking the helm of the Ohio State Buckeyes in 2001. “We believe in paying forward, and it is our pleasure to be able to give back to a university that has meant so much to us and to help a project that will serve students for years to come.”
