And he will be joined by President Drake and the  Ohio University mascot Rufus.

But shortly after Ohio University announced Rufus’ plans Thursday, there was a change of heart. Ohio State announced that, “After additional consultation and reviews, the spirit program has decided to reinstate Brutus Buckeye” in the parade.

He’ll be joined, a statement said, by “a campuswide group” of faculty, staff and senior officials, including President Michael V. Drake.

 I hope everyone stays safe and honestly the university's decision did not bother me, because it was due to safety concerns. Mods I checked the forums and didn't see the reinstatement of Brutus being discussed. I ask that everyone  please be respectful and follow the commenting policy.
