Tressel Applies For Presidency Of YSU

Former Ohio State University football coach Jim Tressel has applied to become president at Youngstown State University less than a month after he applied for the same position at the University of Akron. The head of a firm leading Youngstown State's search said that Tressel applied for the post on Friday. A message seeking comment with AGB Search's president was not immediately returned. Tressel coached at Youngstown State before leaving for Ohio State where he was forced out following a scandal that led to NCAA sanctions. He has worked as an administrator at Akron for two years. He applied in mid-March for the president's job there, saying he had 35 years of experience in higher education.
