Starting at middle linebacker for the West Virginia Mountaineers .... 76-year-old university president E. Gordon Gee!!!
The WVU president is adamant fans WILL have college football this season ... even if it means he's gotta take the field himself.
"We are gonna play football in the fall, I really do believe that," Gee told WOWK 13 in WV.
"Even if I have to suit up and I got my ankles taped, I'm ready to go in."
Of course -- or at least we HOPE -- Gee is joking about playing (after all, the NCAA would throw a fit) .
