During the halftime show on FOX, they were showing a couple clips of Eddie watching the Game. Classic stuff. No need to wonder whether he is a fan. :lol:

I'm assuming he's no longer going to work for FOX, but it's nice to have Eddie back in Columbus.

Ohio State hires George in wide-ranging ambassador role

Eddie George's new duties will be wide-ranging - sort of like his role as a running back.

Eddie George, Ohio State?s 1995 Heisman Trophy winner, has long been an ambassador for the Buckeyes, but now he?ll be doing it with credentials.

The school announced yesterday that George has been hired as an assistant vice president that in effect makes him a designated hitter for president E. Gordon Gee in missions ranging from interaction with athletes to fundraising. George is a former NFL running back, an entrepreneur with several businesses ? including Eddie George?s Grille 27 on High Street across from campus ? and a college football analyst this year for Fox. Now he has something new on his r?sum?.

?It is such an honor and privilege to be able to work for Ohio State, which gave me so much and helped me grow personally and professionally,? George said in a news release. ?I am grateful to have the opportunity to apply what I?ve learned from my academic and football journey while at the university, along with the work I?ve been doing in the world of business, to support the transformative initiatives happening at my alma mater.?

His initial salary will be $220,000, said an Ohio State spokeswoman, who added that George began working last month. His duties will be wide-ranging. The job description reads: ?Will work with multiple internal and external university constituencies to increase awareness of health and wellness initiatives, support the efforts to engage alumni and friends in the life of the university, assist with fundraising, alumni relations, and communications for Ohio State, and work with student-athletes.?

Athletic director Gene Smith said last night: ?Eddie has really been engaged in many ways for us before, but now having him formally with the school and with the program really means a lot. That?s because now he will be a formal representative of the institution, and he will have at his disposal all the different things and messages we want to communicate as he travels around the country. He will be a huge asset for us.?

Gee indicated in the news release that it?s as if the Buckeyes have signed a blue-chip star all over again.

?Eddie brings such a breadth of talent to the university, and his entrepreneurial spirit, business experience and leadership skills are great assets to our ongoing work,? Gee said. ?Having Eddie return to our team is a great coup for the university.?
