Wait. . .let me get this straight. . Jon Waters poisoned the water for the next director? Really? I’m thinking, no. I’m thinking that the risk of being fired for the behavior of your adult students on their own time is what’s keeping quality people away. Because. . .come on. . .who would want to walk into THOSE kind of expectations, given the precedent that Ohio State has set here? This whole aspect of the situation serves to further demonstrate how RIDICULOUS Ohio State has been with this.

People say, “hire someone new and just move on”. Oh yeah? Is the greatness of TBDBITL simply passed on from class to class via osmosis? Close proximity? Accidental contamination? NO!! There is vision from the top, innovation and leadership that must be as exceptional as the student who execute it all. Does Ohio State win as many football games when they have a lousy football coach? No! It’s almost the same thing with the band (but really it’s true for any organization). THAT is why what Drake and company have done with the handling of this is potentially SO DAMAGING!
