Gordon Gee Comments on Big Ten Expansion, Missouri, Kansas

2

SI published the full audio of Ohio State president Gordon Gee's remarks that got him into a lot of trouble, and our OSU site LandGrantHolyLand.com broke them down from a Buckeye perspective. There were a lot more than just insults, including this bit about Big Ten Expansion and how Gee thought it was a mistake to not include Missouri and Kansas (instead we got Rutgers and Maryland, so keep that in perspective): Because thought about adding Missouri and Kansas at the time. There was not a great deal of enthusiasm about that. I think we should have done that at the time. So we would have had Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas and then moved into that other area. I think, by the way, that that can still happen." You also get a rundown of how much Penn State hates Pitt, how everyone in Wisconsin hated Bret Bielema and that he was about to be fired anyway, and what the Big Ten might do were the ACC to show further signs of weakness.
