One could imagine how these tweets would not be received well by some Buckeyes fans.

According to Ohio State's fall 2014 enrollment numbers, nearly 50 percent of the student body is female. Furthermore, 34 percent of television viewers who tuned in to watch college football during the 2013-2014 season were female, per Nielsen's 2013 Year in Sports Media Report.
