Steinbrenner rips Yankees

Why does his wikipedia entry say he attended Ohio State? I thought he went to some small college in Ohio. I know his wife is an alum (hence the whole wing in the stadium with their name on it). Did he attend but transfer or not graduate?

I found this. It doesn't list tOSU under "Education", but it does mention he spent a year of post graduate at tOSU under "Personal File". Apparently he also was a assistant football coach before.

There are two rings. The white gold & black ring was awarded by the BCS, the yellow gold & red ring was provided by the school.

The one you're thinking of is this:

Yankees owner Steinbrenner falls ill

Associated Press

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner was hospitalized for the second time in three years after becoming ill while watching his granddaughter perform in a play.
Steinbrenner was taken by paramedics to UNC Hospitals on Sunday, The Daily Tar Heel reported Tuesday. Steinbrenner was released Monday morning and returned to Tampa, Fla., spokesman Howard Rubenstein said.
"He was pale, and his eyes were closed - it looked like he had fainted," sophomore Emily Riehl, who was two rows behind Steinbrenner, told The Daily Tar Heel.
Steinbrenner fainted at a memorial service for football great Otto Graham in Sarasota, Fla., on Dec. 27, 2003, was hospitalized and then released the following day. Since then, he has taken an increasingly less public role, limiting his public comments.
The 76-year-old Steinbrenner and his family were watching his granddaughter, junior Haley Swindal, perform the lead role of Sally Bowles in "Cabaret" on Sunday at the Playmakers Theatre on the University of North Carolina campus.
According to The Daily Tar Heel, a call was placed to the Department of Public Safety saying a man had chest pains. After paramedics arrived, the remainder of the performance was canceled, Danny Coles, assistant music director for the production, told the paper. Steinbrenner was taken to the hospital in an ambulance.
"George felt ill during the performance, which was held in a Revolutionary War auditorium with no air conditioning and the windows closed tight - it was very hot," Rubenstein said in a statement Tuesday. "An ambulance was called, and it took George to the hospital where he was examined head to toe. George stayed overnight in the hospital and was released on Monday morning, at which time he flew home."
According to Rubenstein, Steinbrenner said: "I had absolutely no pain." While at the hospital, Steinbrenner was "examined head to toe," Rubenstein said.
Rubenstein said Steinbrenner "is quite feisty" and was in contact with team president Randy Levine and chief operating officer Lonn Trost. But Steinbrenner was not at Legends Field on Tuesday, workers at the team's spring training complex said.
"I was disappointed that I couldn't watch Haley's full performance on Sunday," Steinbrenner was quoted as saying in Rubenstein's statement.

Money doesn't buy chemistry. I would hate to play for this guy.

When he paid millions of dollars for free agent pitchers Randy Johnson, Carl Pavano and Jaret Wright, Steinbrenner expected New York to make a run at the defending world champion Red Sox. He did not anticipate seeing the Yankees start 4-8, including 1-5 against Baltimore, a team the Yankees have dominated for years.

Carl Pavano made what was likely his final appearance in a Yankees uniform Thursday night, getting shelled for five runs in 32/3 innings in a 8-2 loss to the Blue Jays. Pavano finishes his four-year, $39.95 million contract with a 9-8 record in 26 starts, giving up 182 hits and 30 walks in 1452/3 innings. That comes out to more than $4.4 million per win, more than $1.5 million per start and almost $275,000 per inning. . . .
