Legally, he can not force him to be there. He can "encourage" him to take summer classes, and it is in his best interest to do so.
But the bottom line is, even prior to this incident, Turner was likely never going to step foot in Columbus. Tressel can not make him academically eligible and give him his high school diploma or adjust his test scores.
Parallels can be drawn between Turner, Clarett
Correction, didn't mean to imply he didn't have his diploma or test scores, meant that JT couldn't do that for any hs player, committed or not.
However, many sources have said Turner was not qualified to begin with, hence the time at Fork Union.

So Heiress, let me get this straight:
You want Tressel to break NCAA rules by requiring a player is down there during the summer?
You want him to do so for a player that by most accounts, hadn't yet qualified academically, and may have never stepped foot on campus?
Was it Tressel's fault for the shooting in the spring too?
