SUNNY APPEAL: The University of Florida has been wooing Ohio State University's president, Karen A. Holbrook, but sources differ on why. Rumors have been circulating that she may be a candidate to succeed J. Bernard Machen as the university's next leader.
No such thing, says Ms. Holbrook, in an e-mail message. "The University of Florida has a great president, and there is absolutely no truth to any such rumor," she says. "This is one I have not heard."
A University of Florida spokesman confirms that "the president has been in talks with Dr. Holbrook about the possibility of her coming here," but he says it is not clear what type of position Ms. Holbrook would hold.
Ms. Holbrook, 64, who has announced she will retire from Ohio State in June, was formerly vice president for research at Florida and dean of the Graduate School.

BEFORE the b-ball players made their own announcement. Why would Bernie horn in on this? It seems obnoxious!
Are you surprised? He wants to be part of the story...
Not surprised. Just disappointed that he'd try to steal the spotlight from those kids.
