Surprise. Surprise. Surprise. An internal hire hasn't happened at tOSU, well if you except Gorden Gee, who seems to always be lurking around. Don't understand much of his credentials, but after reading the above posters, seem acceptable to me. Being elevated from the #2 to the Big Chair, well that says something. Always thought the #2 handled the athletic portion of tOSU, until a picture or handshake is needed. As an MBA that earned that sheepskin when the program was rated in top 25, would really like to see tOSU flex some muscle and elevate it's programs into being top recognizable programs in the nation. Not entirely certain how that can occur, given the undergraduate rules we live under. PS, having gone to Miami U as undergrad, freshman class was limited to dorm space, as Oxford was/is tiny. C'bus, has plenty of apartment opportunities, let alone a huge number of fraternities/sororities with living space. Just a bon mot. Maybe this cat can make that happen, we'll see. Or, maybe he'll be content to guide this ship, making no waves.
