Former Ohio State President E. Gordon Gee leads a discussion on higher education at the Glenn College in 2014.
Former Ohio State President E. Gordon Gee will continue his longstanding relationship with the university through a one-year engagement, including a residency with the John Glenn College of Public Affairs.

A distinguished and recognized leader in higher education, Gee has served as president of five universities over his career, including as Ohio State’s 11th president from 1990-1998 and its 14th president from 2007-2013. He also has served as president of Vanderbilt University, Brown University, the University of Colorado and, most recently West Virginia University — which he departed last month after an 11-year term.
Gee will be available to meet with Glenn College students and faculty to talk about issues that impact higher education policy, such as workforce development projects in the Ohio Education Research Center or the college’s leadership certificate as it relates to Ohio State employees.
“It is a pleasure to welcome President Gee back to Ohio State and the Glenn College,” Dean Trevor Brown said. “He and Sen. John Glenn had a deep friendship. President Gee was instrumental in launching the Glenn Institute and the Glenn School. There is much we can learn from President Gee about how to effectively lead institutions of higher education during turbulent times.”
“I am honored that President Carter asked me to return to Ohio State during my sabbatical leave from West Virginia University,” said Gee. “Ohio State has played an extraordinary role in my life as have the people of Ohio, and to be able to serve the university in an advisory capacity is a great privilege.”
In his consulting role, Gee will serve as a resource for university leaders as they

Seems like both sides kept looking after he committed. No problem with that, best of luck to him wherever he lands.

Formula 1 Standings 2025​

Las Vegas GP: McLaren's Norris, Piastri disqualified for illegal plank wear​

McLaren drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri have been disqualified from the Las Vegas Grand Prix for illegal plank wear, propelling Max Verstappen right back into the drivers' title fight.

F1's rulebook states the thickness of the planks underneath both cars must be no less than 9mm, but McLaren's two cars were found to be below that after Saturday night's race.

After the race, McLaren was summoned to the stewards and found to have been in breach of the regulations, which is a slam-dunk disqualification.

The sensational twist in 2025's title battle means Verstappen, who had beaten Norris to victory in the race, is now level on points with Piastri on 366 and stands 24 behind Norris with two races left to run.

McLaren's microscopic Vegas DQ brings Verstappen into title fight​

Why were the cars disqualified?​

The FIA's statements for both disqualifications made clear that the stewards "strongly held the view that the breach was unintentional and that there was not deliberate attempt to circumvent the regulations," but when it comes to measuring plank wear, the technical regulations leave no margin for error -- even if it can be measured in micrometers.

Plank material is designed to wear away over the course of a race as it rubs against the track surface -- in part protecting the underside of the car but also allowing the FIA to ensure a minimum ride height is maintained. Running the car low to the ground can yield more performance from the underfloor aerodynamics, but run it too low and a team runs the risk of inducing potentially dangerous losses of downforce as the car bottoms out.

To ensure the cars run in a safe condition, the FIA's postrace checks monitor the wear of the plank of all points scorers. The governing body's scrutineers measure four holes on the plank that must be 10 millimeters deep (plus or minus 0.2) at the start of the race and no less than 9 deep at the end of the race. On Norris' car, the depth of two of the four measuring holes was found to be below 9, and on Piastri's car, the depth was below 9 on three of the four holes.

At this year's Chinese Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton was disqualified for the same infringement, albeit with plank wear that was 0.5 millimeters beyond the amount permitted.

Why was McLaren running its car so low?​

The current generation of F1 cars are extremely sensitive to ride height. Every millimeter lower to the ground the car runs, the more it seals and energizes the flow of air passing under the car. The fast-moving air between the floor of the car and the track surface creates low pressure, known as ground effect, that essentially sucks the car to the track, providing a large amount of the downforce that allows an F1 car to corner at such mind-bending speeds.

Every race weekend, teams search for the perfect ride height in order to find the balance between maximizing the aerodynamic performance of the floor while ensuring plank wear remains at legal levels. Although simulations provide a starting point for ride height settings, teams rely heavily on track running during practice to make a final decision before locking in the car's final setup ahead of qualifying.

Bumpy track surfaces can increase the level of wear but are usually accounted for by the teams, and given the threat of disqualification if the car is found illegal, engineers would usually err on the side of caution. And while it's true that practice time in Las Vegas was reduced by two red flags on Thursday evening and a partially wet final practice session, making data on plank wear limited, such limitations to practice are not uncommon during a race weekend.

In their statement in the early hours of Sunday morning, the stewards said McLaren cited the bouncing of the car (known in F1 as porpoising) and the limited practice time as reasons for the unexpected wear level.

"The team argued that mitigating circumstances existed in that there was additional and unexpected porpoising at this event, limited opportunity to test due to the weather on Day 1, and shortened practice sessions."

McLaren team principal Andrea Stella added in a statement: "During the race, both cars experienced unexpected, high levels of porpoising not seen in the practice sessions, which led to excessive contact with the ground. We are investigating the reasons for this behavior of the car, including the effect of accidental damage sustained by both cars, which we found after the race, and that led to an increase of movement of the floor.

"As the FIA noted, the breach was unintentional, there was no deliberate attempt to circumvent the regulations, and mitigating circumstances also existed."

There were signs McLaren was aware of the problem during the race after Norris' race engineer told him to lift off the throttle and coast at the end of straights. By doing so, McLaren hoped Norris would reduce the peak aerodynamic load at the end of the straights and minimize the wear to the floor when it was running closest to the ground. Despite lapping more than 3.5 seconds off the pace at times, ultimately Norris' efforts did not go far enough.

"We had to do some managing towards the end of the race and now we know it was due to some issues on our car, which have unfortunately resulted in us being disqualified," Norris said in a statement issued by McLaren. "It's frustrating to lose so many points. As a team, we're always pushing to find as much performance as we can, and we clearly didn't get that balance right today."

Next up is Florida State on 11/28 at 5 PM EST.

Why would the NCAA be made aware? It's not like they'd punish anyone for it.

Just shut the fuck up about Arch. He was 18 of 30 against a 2-9 team with an interim coach. He's not back. He hasn't turned the corner. He sucks.

Didn’t watch yesterday, but he’s been pretty consistent this year. Poor footwork results in accuracy and arm strength issues. He’s an ok college qb, but still not as good as Ewers.

There is more info about Temple's leading scorer from a couple years ago betting against his own team. He conveniently couldn't remember having bet against himself. One suspicious line move of 6-points against Temple occurred prior to a game against UAB that the Owls gave up 100 points and lost by 28.

I like Cupps. Plays hard and is pretty decent defensively

He's low-key an important addition to the team this season. He gives Diebler a steady option to fill in whenever Mobley needs a rest or is struggling, plus he brings value being used as a defensive sub in end of half/game situations. It can be really easy to overlook Gabe Cupps because his scoring numbers are low, but I think his value to the team's success is a lot higher than the casual fan would realize.

Nah he was in on the 3 wr set with Inniss and bryson

Admittedly, I had things to do around half-time and couldnt watch with the focus I typically like.

That said, I was really bummed Graham didn’t get an opportunity to shine today. I kind of thought maybe they were giving Adolph the reps on Senior day……

Other teams keeping their starters in when getting boat raced. If it was 2nd team on 2nd team our second team wins but when you got the other teams 1st team that's been playing all game against our 2nd team coming in cold off the bench they are gonna get beat most of the time.

100%. I just wish there were actual "true" stats used for these narratives that people throw around, like scums ppg given up when they cheated their asses off and won the natty. Its so under my skin that I just can't let it go

What a freaking game! Big win by St. X 42-34!!!

Visiting for tomorrow’s Rutgers game

Curious if James Franklin at VT will be a player at all for him

I wanted to see if anyone has watched the new Redemption mini series about the 2024 season? Is it was accessible to watch?

Thanks

SEASON TICKET ORDER DEADLINE:

Monday, March 2, 2026 at 4 p.m. ET

I thought Phoenix was an airplane? Was there a football team on it?

Probably would have gone to the Hall of Fame if his career had better circumstances. Had that weird holdout that basically cost him a season, injury cost him another one and always played with dookie quarterbacks.

DEVELOPED HERE. Ohio State could have four (maybe even five!) first-round picks in the 2026 NFL draft.
This week, ESPN’s Matt Miller released a new mock draft featuring four Buckeyes in his top 32 picks. The list starts with Arvell Reese and continues with Caleb Downs, Carnell Tate, and Kayden McDonald.

No. 6 - Arvell Reese, New Orleans Saints​

If the Saints move forward with Tyler Shough at quarterback, they'll be left with two obvious needs: edge rusher and wide receiver. Drafting the best player available from those positions is the move for GM Mickey Loomis, and Reese is arguably the nation's top player this season. He aligns at both linebacker and edge rusher for Ohio State, with 6.5 sacks, 17 pressures and 58 tackles this season. His ability to impact the game with an explosive first step would bring a spark to the Saints' front four that has been missing since Trey Hendrickson left in free agency after the 2020 season.

No. 9 - Caleb Downs, Arizona Cardinals​

Downs is the top player on my board and the Cardinals could use a safety upgrade, so this would be a marriage of need and value. Safety might not be Arizona's biggest need -- that depends on what happens with Murray at QB -- but stealing the best player of the draft while improving the back end is how smart teams are built. Jalen Thompson will be a free agent this offseason and Budda Baker turns 30 in January, so adding Downs -- who has deep range and the strength to play in the box -- would make sense. He's commonly compared to the Ravens' Kyle Hamilton, but Downs is more physical as a hybrid safety.

No. 19 - Carnell Tate, Pittsburgh Steelers​

The Steelers could flip a coin to decide whether to draft a quarterback or wide receiver, as both are of equal need. Quarterback would be the ideal pick, but the Steelers wouldn't be in range for a starting-caliber prospect here and would likely add a veteran in free agency if Aaron Rodgers retires or doesn't return. That leaves wide receiver, a position the Steelers have historically drafted very well. Trading for DK Metcalf gave Pittsburgh a true WR1, but the team now needs a WR2. At 6-foot-3 and 195 pounds, Tate has the vertical ability to win over the top and make plays on 50-50 passes. More importantly, he has succeeded in the No. 2 role next to superstar sophomore Jeremiah Smith. Tate has seven touchdowns on 39 receptions this season.

No. 23 - Kayden McDonald, San Francisco 49ers​

The 49ers invested four picks in the 2025 draft along the defensive line, adding Mykel Williams (edge), Robert Beal Jr. (edge), Alfred Collins (DT) and CJ West (DT). But the 49ers are last in the NFL with 12 sacks, so more help is needed, especially at defensive tackle. McDonald, who lines up at nose tackle for the Buckeyes, has been an elite run defender as a first-year starter but also adds pass-rush ability, with three sacks and five pressures this season. At 6-foot-3 and 326 pounds, the junior has also added 44 tackles through 10 games, an unreal number for a nose tackle.

For those asking, “Where’s Sonny Styles?” I’m right there with you. Miller has three linebackers in his first round: Arvell Reese, Georgia’s CJ Allen (No. 31, Los Angeles Rams), and Texas’ Anthony Hill Jr. (No. 32, Denver Broncos).

While Allen and Hill are excellent players, it’s hard to believe either will go before Styles. He has the athleticism, intelligence, and production — 57 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, and zero missed tackles in 10 games — that NFL personnel are likely to rave about during the pre-draft process.
