The big news here in ground zero of Buckeye country yesterday was the firing of the Marching Band director for allegations of hazing and sexual harassment within the band. Listening to the locals dissect it, it reminds me a lot of the discussions surrounding UC about 10 years ago...
Factors:
1) very popular group associated with the university has some sort of black-eye given to it (UC BB, Huggins - DUI; OSU MB, sexual harassment tradition)
2) Loyal following of fans
3) New president of the university
To listen to the fans around here, the new president has really stepped in it by dismissing the beloved band director and is not setting himself up to be loved and adored by the fans.
All the conversation and vitriol for the new president is giving me flashbacks to Zimpher...
