In some ways, this is really a non-story, but I think Marcus Freeman did the right thing in addressing things head on when asked about it instead of ducking it and letting things fester.
The short version of this is Marcus recently did a one-on-one interview with Dennis Dodd of cbssports.com. Marcus felt he was misquoted in the interview, which created the impression he was taking a shot at the academics of The Ohio State University -- his alma mater (and mine). There were some ruffled feathers among that fan base, though not universally so. In seeing the transcript from the interview, there were some important words left out that changed the context.
In the story below, you can read about it in more detail.
