Well, lets see. ESPN did its level best to wreck the OSU athletic programs, and it lost. Jim O'Brien tried, and it seems that things turned out ok, well better than ok, more like outstanding, Maurice Clarett finds himself in a jail cell among his many tricks which included telling all that was supposedly going to take down the football program. So, I'm pretty sure there is no incoming President that is bigger than OSU athletics either. Not sure if I'm necessarily proud of that fact as an alum, but OSU athletics is quite the gargantuan and has been able to withstand NCAA investigations with modest damage to the program.
Plus, if Zimpher was on her way, do you think that the topic of what happened at UC might just have come up in the discussions? Unless she has supernatural powers that allow her to wield her wicked spells once she is inside of an organization, I don't think any dramatic effect would be felt on the athletic programs.
Plus, Holbrook has already left her legacy for raising standards for incoming athletes, and look at the condition of the two high-profile programs. They are led by coaches with track records of integrity and are recruiting highly ranked recruits to put the programs on top that put them at the top on a national scale.
