Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith has done a great job for most of the time he has been in Columbus. It all hasn’t been perfect though, as he had to navigate the Buckeyes through “Tatgate” and the Zach Smith scandal. When it comes to athletic directors, we have been spoiled with how Smith has handled the position in his 16 years at Ohio State.
I won’t lie though, earlier this week I wanted to put my fist through a wall after Smith said it would be “risky” for Ohio State to host a December playoff game.
