The Ohio State University will name the new President tomorrow morning. Kerry Charles and I independently confirmed the Board of Trustees is expected to name current Provost Dr. Ravi Bellamkonda to the position, foregoing a nationwide search.

Very proud of our 'Johnny's Charity Champions' squad for Team NiSource and Columbia Gas of Ohio. Bryson Dean raised over $6,000 at the Fayette County Fair! Just an awesome job by Bryson doing all the "dirty work" to get Johnny in shape!

BUT, we're not quite to our goal yet. In 5 days, we'll march into the arena and we want to do it as 'champions'. Every penny raised through the show goes to families who's kids are battling for their lives. Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Ohio gives thousands of families a place to stay, right next to the hospital where their kids are receiving life-saving treatment, allowing them to be together during the toughest times of their lives.

Help the kids, help their families, and help Johnny's Charity Champions rise to #1 before the show! Oh, and don't forget to come to the Ohio State Fair next Wednesday at 3:00pm to watch the Celebrity Steer Show and cheer for your favorite team!

I did the story in two parts after the coach reached out to tell his side of the story. All the information I uncovered is publicly available through a public records request. Here are both parts of the story including the coach's explanation for the texts.

'Johnny' barely made it after suffering severe complications at birth, but miraculously he survived thanks to a rare procedure from a vet named Johnny.
