The president of Ohio State University is in a pickle for calling out the bead slinging wafer munchers as untrustworthy - a rather mild observation when it comes to the big picture here. Then the politically correct police are on his case - forcing him to apologize and undergo a "remediation plan" (whatever that is).
It doesn't help that president Gordon Gee is a Jell-O eating, magic underwear wearing follower of con artist Joseph Smith (i.e. a Mormon). While we Baptists are the first to limit any papist influence over the sport of American Football, Gee's "remediation plan" should include a thorough reading of the Bible (KJV1611).

OSU President Apologizes For Notre Dame Jab: ‘Those Damn Catholics’
May 30, 2013 3:00 PM
The president of Ohio State University said Notre Dame was never invited to join the Big Ten because the university’s priests are not good partners, joking that “those damn Catholics” can’t be trusted, according to a recording of a meeting he attended late last year.
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The president of Ohio State University said Notre Dame was never invited to join the Big Ten because the university’s priests are not good partners, joking that “those damn Catholics” can’t be trusted, according to a recording of a meeting he attended late last year.
Gordon Gee also took shots at schools in the Southeastern Conference and the University of Louisville, according to the recording of the December meeting of the school’s Athletic Council that The Associated Press obtained under a public records request.
The university called the statements inappropriate and said Gee is undergoing a “remediation plan” because of the remarks.
Gee apologized in a statement released to the AP.
“The comments I made were just plain wrong, and in no way do they reflect what the university stands for,” he said. “They were a poor attempt at humor and entirely inappropriate. There is no excuse for this and I am deeply sorry.”
Gee, who has taken heat previously for uncouth remarks, told members of the council that he negotiated with Notre Dame officials during his first term at Ohio State, which began more than two decades ago.
“The fathers are holy on Sunday, and they’re holy hell on the rest of the week,” Gee said to laughter at the Dec. 5 meeting attended by Athletic Director Gene Smith and several other athletic department members, along with professors and students.
“You just can’t trust those damn Catholics on a Thursday or a Friday, and so, literally, I can say that,” said Gee, a Mormon.
