Ohio President E. Gordon Gee slams 'Sports Illustrated,' 'Sporting News' as 'bad journalism'

"You know, (OSU) is such a high-profile job, everyone's going to nip at him," Gee said. "Not having fully read the story, but having read portions of it, it is what it is. I would hope that at our institution we teach a higher quality of journalism."

"Sporting News" president and publisher Jeff Price stood behind the "From champs to chomped" story, which was written by Matt Hayes.

, OSU spokesman Jim Lynch could not confirm that the university ever made a formal request for a correction or a retraction for either the "Sports Illustrated" or "Sporting News" reports.

"It's difficult to address stories that rely almost exclusively on anonymous sources," Lynch said in a Tuesday email to The Lantern.

"Sports Illustrated" did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but Dohrmann confirmed to The Lantern that no corrections, clarifications or retractions were issued for his story.

Dohrmann, who said that he and "Sports Illustrated" both stand behind his reporting, added that he thinks Gee needs to go back and re-read the story.
