President Tressel paid forward again over the weekend.
He kicked off this weekend's Guinathon (Youngstown State's Dance Marathon) by jump-starting both the pledges and the dancing:
Ellen is out of town this weekend, so he patched her in to lend her support to the dancers (if you've never participated in a dance marathon, it's physically exhausting - it's quite literally a dance marathon).
Guinathon raised 5% more than last year's total thanks to Tressel's pledge.
Ohio State's Buckeyethon was earlier this month and raised $1.6MM for pediatric cancer research.
