Gee: Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith's 'job is safe'

Ohio State President E. Gordon Gee said athletic director Gene Smith's job is "safe" before a university-sponsored flash mob Wednesday afternoon.

OSU spokesman Jim Lynch told The Lantern on Wednesday that the university had no plans to dismiss OSU's compliance department.....

At a March 8 press conference to announce Tressel's suspension, when asked about Tressel's job security, Gee replied, "I just hope he doesn't dismiss me."

Smith and Doug Archie, director of OSU's compliance office, have been unavailable for comment.
