As Dick Luckay talks about his experiences as an Ohio State football manager from 1948 to ’51, it’s hard not to wonder how many current players would be comfortable with telling this 85-year-old former Air Force pilot that he needs to move out of Varsity O football sections of Ohio Stadium in 2016 to make room for them.
Fortunately, they won’t have to. The Buckeye Club is doing that for them. Past Varsity O football managers were recently mailed a letter explaining the “exciting changes” that were coming in 2016, including one Luckay wouldn’t describe that way: “in order to accommodate the demand for seating for former players … you will select your seats based on your donor priority points in the stadium, and not within the current Varsity O Football sections.
