So Dr. Gee, after raising billions of dollars advocating for the real mission of the university, is being ushered into retirement over some shit he said about sports?

About sports ... in a closed door meeting ... attended only by other faculty ... six months ago.

BTW not to be Devil's Advocate but are we sure this comes from pressure over his comments from BOT or donors or something? Are we sure he isn't just hanging it up because he's tired of the negative press when he says off the cuff stuff? Or is that what we think, that it's the press and not University pressure? I guess I am confused as to what caused this decision exactly...

Its only partially the media's fault. The bigger part of the fault lies on the board, faculty, alumni and the rest for not staying the course and telling the media to piss up a rope. So long as the people continue to let this kind of thing happen, it will continue to happen.
