Gee has his foot in his mouth so he won't be speaking at DeSales High school graduation. He has been reprimanded and told he will be fired if it happens again.
* On why Notre Dame wasn’t invited to join the Big Ten: “The fathers are holy on Sunday and they’re holy hell on the rest of the week… 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.)
* On what the Big Ten looked for in expansion partners: “… institutions of like-minded academic integrity. So you won’t see us adding Louisville.” (He then said the Big Ten wouldn’t be adding the University of Kentucky, either.)
* When asked how Big Ten fans should respond when SEC fans say people in a 14-team league called the Big Ten can’t count: “You tell the SEC when they learn to read and write, then they can figure out what we’re doing.”
*He also called the Arkansas coach Bret Bielema a "thug."
Tsk. Tsk.
Update: June 4, Columbus Dispatch: Ohio State President E. Gordon Gee said this afternoon that he plans to retire on July 1, following the latest in a series of verbal gaffes that he said were meant as harmless jokes but ended up embarrassing the university.

Notre Dame was a Catholic school years ago - long before they started giving honorary degrees to the abortionist in chief.
his comments were hardly funny.
