Ohio State Prez Tells TCU, Boise St. where its at...

Postby Mitch McConnell » Wed Nov 24, 2010 9:46 am

Now I don't agree with anything that he said but the quotes are pretty telling about what kind of caste system we have set up in college football. He would probably would have been wise to keep his mouth shut.

P.S. Wait for the potential follow up so he can "clarify" his remarks.

How did [cavs owner] Dan Gilbert become the Ohio State President so quickly?

What a greedy old fart.

My favorite part: How going from the BCS to a playoff would put us, "on a slippery slope to professionalism." Right. Because Ohio State cares so much about the 'student' part of its student athletes. That's only 58% of his football team graduates.

Interesting comment about his abolishing the athletics department at Vandy because it came out of the general fund whereas at Ohio State all sports are paid for by athletics. I assume (perhaps incorrectly) that Vandy football with SEC money would approximate what Ohio State gets in Big Ten money. Is it because tuitions are vastly different between the two schools? Accounting is done differently? It sounds weird to me. Perhaps its because Ohio State fills a 90,000 seat stadium for 6-7 dates per year whereas Vandy does not.

Let's see Minnesota, Indiana, Purdue, are all teams that we could probably beat and TCU would destroy. Add in Michigan, Northwestern and Illinois which are very mortal and you have six of 11. I recall one solid OOC game for OSU after that it was non-AQ teams. So, they have at least 7 of 12 games that are against relatively weak opponents.

SMU could also beat Colorado State, New Mexico, UNLV and probably Wyoming. Just keeping it real.
