OSU president criticizes disconnect between athletics and academics

Thursday, January 17, 2008

Some Ohio State University sports fans may be a little nervous with former President Gordon Gee back at the helm. Gee drew national attention for doing away with Vanderbilt University's athletic department to ensure athletes focused on academics. During a visit to Akron Thursday to tout higher education, Gee says he has no plans to halt Ohio State's athletic program, but he is pushing for reform in collegiate sports.

Gee has criticized big athletic budgets. Ohio State University has the largest athletic budget in the country, at $110 million.




Listener Comments:

Good for him. The primary purpose of colleges is to educate. Let's not forget that.
