Fellow Wildcat Faithful,

I'll admit to taking great joy in watching tOSU unravel, but at the end of the 
day it's an embarassing reflection on the Big Ten. 


I find it very interesting that this all happened while Gordon Gee was president 
at tOSU. I was in business school at Vanderbilt when he so proudly dismantled 
the athletic department there. I don't have a direct quote from him but the 
general idea what that the athletic departemnt kept the student-athletes apart 
from the regular students and that was a bad thing. 


If Gee survives in Columbus I wonder if he'd have the courage to implement the 
same strategy at a school where the athletic department is clearly doing damage 
to the university.

Victory & Honor,
Jim
