COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel forwarded emails to Terrelle Pryor's mentor that accused the star quarterback of selling memorabilia to a man under federal investigation, the Columbus Dispatch reported.

Citing unidentified sources, the newspaper said Tressel sent the information to Ted Sarniak, a businessman in Pryor's hometown of Jeannette, Pa. Ohio State director of compliance Doug Archie told the paper that Sarniak and Pryor are longtime friends and that Sarniak was the player's primary contact in recruiting.
