              I LIKE IT!! He is a huge athletics guy.. He would take a different approach to athletics (Although the BOT may not like it, which means I like it!!) and the amount of donations BYU could possibly get from him is HUGE. I think he has brought over 2 billion to tOSU in fund raising over the past 6 years (There was an article on this and they provided that number and that was last year). If not more...

              He is a prolific fundraiser and is leading a $2.5 billion campaign at Ohio State. He is omnipresent on campus, attending everything from faculty awards events to dormitory pizza parties.

                lol.

                Not going to happen. We don't want OSU's sloppy seconds.

                  Yeah, it could never happen. He's got a lot of baggage at this point. Plus, the most recent baggage involves him making fun of other religions (that's exactly what BYU wants). Also, you can;t hire someone that visible that isn't really active. It was pretty well known that he was active his first time as OSU president (although he got special general authority permission to attend a ward outside his designated boundary). However, in the second go around he didn't attend church anymore (he does still represent himself as Mormon).

                        Gordon Gee just finalized his "retirement" with tOSU by getting 5.8 Million over 5 years as a token professor at the law school..

                            There are few things that pay as well as executive ineptitude.
