A search of that thread indicates that Gee's name hasn't been posted in that thread in over a month...

The latest revelations about NCAA violations in Ohio State University?s beleaguered football program prove the campus has zero tolerance for rule-breaking ? not that the campus has bigger problems in its compliance program, President E. Gordon Gee said last night.

?We are the poster child for compliance, and whenever we discover a possible infraction, we resolve and report it to the NCAA, no matter how minor the violation. That?s what we have done here,? Gee said after giving his annual fall address to the faculty.

Gee also backed athletic director Gene Smith.

?I think we are blessed to have an extraordinarily talented athletic director who has proven his mettle through an extraordinarily tough time,? he said.

That's essentially what I said last night.

the athletic program is doing the right things and is structured properly. LOIC isn't a cumulative penalty, it's a structural one. FTM to more subjective, but it's along the same lines.

Maybe if there is one thing we should be complaining about it is our compliance department being too good at their job?

For the skewering we're taking in the press, you'd think our shadiness was cracked by some private investigator from the NCAA.

waiting on ncaa? I doubt it but interesting timing

Board Chairman Leslie H. Wexner, who announced the delay at the beginning of yesterday’s meeting, didn’t elaborate about why the committee needed more time.
A university spokeswoman said she couldn’t get any more details.
Wexner said the committee that handles Gee’s annual evaluation hoped to be ready by their next meeting. The next scheduled trustees meeting is on Feb. 9-10, according to the university’s website.
Since returning to Ohio State in 2007, Gee has received his annual performance review by the board between October and December. His anniversary date is Oct. 1.
Last year, the board rewarded Gee with a $296,786 bonus and $16,042 pay increase after giving him a positive evaluation.
Gee immediately donated the bonus to Ohio State, saying the money should go to a scholarship fund for students and other university programs that he thinks are important. It was the third straight year that he gave a portion of his compensation to help students pay for school.
Gee’s total pay package is a little more than $2 million, including an $818,167 base salary. He is the highest-paid leader of a public university, according to The Chronicle of Higher Education

Good work if you can get it.

Ohio State's Board of Trustees approved a 2 percent increase to President E. Gordon Gee's salary, performance compensation bonus and retirement plan package in 2012, adding up to $1.9 million.

The Board of Trustees met to discuss Gee's annual performance evaluation Friday. The Board gave Gee a positive evaluation based on his various achievements, including recruitment of top talent, constant advocacy for the University, and solidified relations with the state, said Dr. Janet Reid, chair of the Compensation and Talent Development Working Group.

Q&A: E. Gordon Gee on NCAA sanctions
Wednesday December 21, 2011

Dispatch Ohio State men?s basketball beat writer Bob Baptist spoke with Ohio State president E. Gordon Gee at the Buckeyes? game against Lamar about the NCAA sanctions handed down against OSU today.

Here?s what Gee said:

Q: Was the penalty more harsh than you expected?

A: We were disappointed, but we decided to move on. We think it?s important for us to move to higher ground. I think the NCAA worked very hard to be good partners with us. Their penalty, we feel, is one that we will not appeal.

Q: Why not appeal?

A: I think because of the fact we made a very clear decision. We made a mistake and we were going to take our medicine. As long as we felt we were working closely with the NCAA, we felt we made our best case . . . and we decided it was in the best interests of the university not to appeal.

Q: In hindsight, had you known you were going to be banned from a bowl game, would you rather have taken it this year than next?

A: There?s no guarantee that that would have made any difference anyway. We had thought of that. But there was no guarantee that if we would have abandoned a bowl this year, that we would not have had a bowl ban next year. A voluntary ban is different from an NCAA sanctioned ban.

Q: What have you thought of Gene Smith?s handling of this in the past year?

A: I have been a consistent supporter of Gene and remain so.

:shake:

A lot of people I've talked to think President Gee should be sent packing, along with Gene Smith. President Gee is beloved by the students here but that seems to be changing. No question he has done a lot of good things here. Ohio State has grown leaps and bounds as an undergraduate institution under his watch and I've heard his impact on the university endowement is huge. I just wonder what the higher-ups are thinking. I wouldn't lose sleep whether he stays or moves on, but I am shocked by his apparent willingness to hitch his wagon to Gene. Could be a bad move.

I think the folks who brought Gee back 4 years ago are the same ones who brought in Urban this year, and those folks should rightly feel like they have the very best in America as university president and head football coach. Those impromptu stand-up routines at press conferences are just Gee being Gee, as are his public shows of support for embattled colleagues. He is an overwhelmingly positive and jokey guy, even in the face of such serious matters as NCAA rules :tongue2:, and that's what makes him so endearing in person.

I just think people who think Gee should go over some football issues need to step back and get a little perspective on the University's mission. We're in the early stages of a $2.5 Billion fundraising campaign, growing the University during a time of recession, and that kind of money doesn't come from athletics.
