Have you heard the one about why Norte Dame was never invited into the Big Ten? It’s because “those damn Catholics” can’t be trusted.
Yeah – it’s not funny – not by a longshot, and Ohio State University President Gordon Gee has apologized for his remarks, which he uttered last year.
“The comments I made were just plain wrong, and in no way do they reflect what the university stands for,” Gee said in a statement to The Associated Press. “They were a poor attempt at humor and entirely inappropriate.”
The comments were made at an early December meeting of the school’s Athletic Council. AP got a audio recording of the meeting through a public records act request.
“The fathers are holy on Sunday, and they’re holy hell on the rest of the week,” Gee had said. “You just can’t trust those damn Catholics on a Thursday or a Friday, and so, literally, I can say that.”
