I met the president of the University of Colorado back in 1988. That's when I was an undergraduate there, and he hadn't been there very long, after having been president of West Virginia University. My impression is he was a person who seemed to have a pretty good grasp of how to make a university look good in the eyes of the media. He earned a law degree from the University of Utah, and now is the president of Brown University, and he was at Vanderbilt not long ago.
E. Gorden Gee was not a good president at Ohio State from an athletics point of view. He had no grasp of the traditions. He called Coopers tie with Michigan one year " one of our greatest victories". Made me want to puke. He also signed Cooper to an extention that year, after a tie. He did seem to do a good job with the rest of his duties as far as the school was concerned, but he couldn't pick a football out of a watermelon patch.
