Wasn’t Gordan Geek or his wife in on the sabotaging of the arena project back in the 90s while serving on the committee that was trying to get it passed? Also, OSU didn’t even want an arena until Columbus was planning one, then they had to have one too while hoping to kill the one for Columbus in the process. The whole thing was disgusting.

Absolutely right. Gee went and tried to twist arms at city hall and even the state house. He did succeed in stopping any state help for the downtown arena, mainly by playing on legislators from the Cleveland area who had an absolute hissy fit that the NHL didn't want to be in Cleveland. The Schott was the result, paid for by our tax dollars while Nationwide was a totally private venture.

Gee is at OSU for one reason...to do the bidding of the the big money boys of Central Ohio. Why else would Wexner fly down to Nashville on Christmas Eve to bring his lapdog back?
