Coach Tressel donates to Baldwin Wallace
Ohio State Head Coach Jim Tressel along with brothers Dave
and Dick donated to a $2 million fund for renovation of their George Finnie Stadium.
By Steve Patterson
All three
brothers Jim, Dave, and Dick (current Ohio
State running-backs coach) all
graduated from the Baldwin-Wallace
University and made a
great donation to their alma mater to renovate the field where their father won
155 games in 23 seasons as a head football coach. The college will name the
field at George Finnie Stadium, Tressel Field when the team begins its 2008
season on September 20th.
Jim Tressel
refused to answer questions about his Buckeye team but wanted the focus to
remain on Baldwin-Wallace. He wore a replica to the event of the jersey he wore
when he was the starting quarterback for the university. The stadium was their
father Lee Tresell’s dream and the brothers felt it an honor to be able to
assist in its renovation.
