Ohio State president takes shots at Notre Dame, Catholics and the SEC
#1
Ohio State president Gordon Gee has talked himself into hot water once again.


According to the Associated Press, Gee made remarks during a December meeting of Ohio State's Athletic Council about Notre Dame, Catholics and the SEC that won't be taken too kindly.


When talking about the long courtship between the Big Ten and Notre Dame, Gee shared his experiences in dealing with the school.


"The fathers are holy on Sunday, and they're holy hell on the rest of the week," Gee said. "You just can't trust those damn Catholics on a Thursday or a Friday, and so, literally, I can say that."


Gee is a Mormon.


Notre Dame and Catholics weren'tthe only targets of Gee's jabs, as he made sure to take some shots at the SEC and Louisville as well.


When talking about what the Big Ten was looking for in a school during expansion Gee said the top goal is to "make certain that we have institutions of like-minded academic integrity. So you won't see us adding Louisville." Gee went on to say the Big Ten wouldn't be adding Kentucky, either.


Then, after being asked what his reponse would be to SEC fans who say the 14-team Big Ten can't count, Gee responded with "you tell the SEC when they can learn to read and write, then they can figure out what we're doing."
