Cooper Gets Sarcastic Reply

Ohio State Athletic Director Andy Geiger responded sarcastically to Coach John Cooper’s suggestion on Monday that players’ classes, meals and practices be set up at the team’s practice facility.

“Yeah, we could have the dorms and the dining halls and the classrooms and the study hall all at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center,” Geiger said in Columbus. “We could be the University of the Woody Hayes Athletic Center football team.”

The subject came up when Cooper was asked about his players’ recent academic problems.
