One of 3 finalists (ESPN)

A campus email Tuesday from Akron trustees says the finalists include provosts from two other schools -- Scott Scarborough of the University of Toledo and Ronald Nykiel of the University of Maryland Eastern Shore.

Tressel also applied to be president at Youngstown State University, where he previously coached.
