Either way you slice it, Gordon Gee has expensive tastes. We spend that money to appease him while he fundraises like a mad man. But it would be better if he didn't have such an appetite for the extravagant.
My cool story is, following the "Cocktails and Hightops" celebration for the 1960 NC B-Ball team, our group ended up at the VC around midnight. We had one of the players from that championship team (family friend) sitting at our table when in came Gordon Gee. He walked over to congratulate Dave, and while greeting all at our table, I inquired about his "O-H" pin. He was not wearing it at the time, but informed me that he was wearing the bow tie pin instead because he had just returned from the funeral of an alumni/friend. He wrote down my name and address on a VC napkin and promised to mail me an "O-H" pin on Monday. The next morning, as we were entering the Schott for the B-ball game (at an obscure door, also) who happened to be standing there? Yes, Gordon Gee. He walked right up to me and said, " I think this is yours" and proceeded to take the pin from his lapel and pin it on me. Quite a moment. And yes, I had another pin show up in the mail addressed to me that following week along with a signed letter from tOSU president himself. This is one of the reasons why he is such a beloved/great university president
He is by far the best man for the job and OSU is much better for having him. I can forgive his tastes, to each his own, and he earns every penny he spends.
Met Gordon at the pre-bowl party before the Sugar Bowl. He's worth every penny.
An angry fan...rooting for an angry team...led by angry coaches
That's ridiculous. I don't care if he's worth it or not.
I agree ridiculous, What I could do with that kind of money, would be ridiculous!!

Anyone else notice how the article referenced crimson and gray cookies?

Gorden Gee: How to tie a bowtie:
Let him live!
Less than a fraction of a percent of what has been raised by the "But for Ohio State" campaign since E. Gordan Gee's return. Sour grapes.
"to have a bow, you have to have 2 bows"
And Alumni, Buckeye Club members and season ticket holders will get premium game and ticket prices jacked up on them.
Huffington Post is a joke. Liberal rag.
I think it's a rag as well, but let's cut out the political commentary. It's not needed.
I don't get why people care. Bow ties...we need football for better topics
Wherever you are, there you be!
If you ask, he will give you one his Bow ties.
