I just don't get how you make the coach the scapegoat for something alumni or fans do for players. If a coach turned them in, the alumni would have his head.

The alumni should indeed be in trouble. They should know better. If they really cared about the school and the team they wouldn't tempt these kids.
As for Tressel, he certified to the NCAA that all rules were being followed when in fact he knew they weren't. That's what he got in trouble for. If he had been ignorant of the infractions it would have been the kid's heads. Since he knew what they were doing and didn't turn them in, it's his. Somebody needs to be the adult in the room and it was his job. His $5 million a year salary should have been enough incentive for him to do it properly.
