Well now he has divorced his wife I guess there is less need for a supply of
good home-grown wacky-tabacky ready for the Gee'ster's soirees.
Quote:
Gee, 63, denied his interest in the job in a June 26 story in the Nashville Tennessean, saying "his commitment to Vanderbilt is unwavering and unshakable."
But OSU, which has been without a president since Karen Holbrook retired in mid-June, apparently proved irresistible. Gee has been enormously popular at Vanderbilt. But he recently came under scrutiny after the Wall Street Journal last year detailed his expensive renovations to the school-owned presidential mansion and his wife's use of marijuana at the house. Gee has since divorced his wife, Constance, who is on the faculty at Vanderbilt.

Sounds like Thursday is the likely date of a joint announcement in Columbus.
