If you will read my post from a few days ago in the Fire Bo thread, I said OSU president Tressel. It has been on all the local channels here in Columbus.

Tressel definitely did not resign last Wednesday. Not sure what the Columbus media is saying, but I believe at least one news source in Ytown would have reported on it.
IAA Fan:
Channel 28 just reported that he was in town. The retirement was what everyone was talking about at the tailgate and game Saturday; since I do not live in town I assumed that I missed it. Columbus media did not mention that.

--- Quote ---One question I have about JT is WHY deesn't he have a PHD? There is no reason I can think of, but that is the second biggest question about a return to OSU. This is obviously very early on in the process and the "early leader" seldome wins. I, for one, hope he finishes his career at YSU. He has done GREAT things here, but there is MUCH to do.

As someone with a Ph.D., it's a lot of work. I suspect that's why Tressel doesn't have one. He built his career as a football coach. I am not sure why he'd spend years doing an academic research project. Granted, it would likely be in something like exercise science or in some business administration thing...but getting your Ph.D. isn't like getting an MBA at night or something.
I would be shocked if OSU went the route of a gimmick hire like Tressel or Kasich. The institution has too much national prestige for something like that. It isn't just the lack of a Ph.D. It s the lack of any serious academic or teaching credentials for either of these guys. Now, in fairness, more institutions are going this route it seems. I just think OSU thinks too much of itself to do it. Tressel was a silly choice for YSU, but he is a local celebrity and YSU is functional a regional university. It makes more sense. I can't see any other institution he would make sense for in such a high level position.

JT had years at Akron with no real job; he could have gotten a PHD if he wanted one.
OSU, gimmicks? First JT and Kasich aren't my idea of gimmicks. I consider that an insult to the outstanding job Tressel as done at YSU and the job Kasich did as Gov. of Ohio, The job is running a multimillion $ multi thousand employee business, not teaching freshman English. But if you think OSU is above gimmicks how the heck to you explain that clown Gee for years. He was certainly a gimmick if there ever was one. (The answer to Gee? He was a clown as pres., no doubt, but he was an incredible fund raiser. So is JT, so is JK.) I love the academics and their “above it all” attitude, and "teaching credentials” importance. The job is fund raising!
