Smith presides over a department  that supports 36 sports and more than 1000 athletes, with an annual  operating budget in excess of $80 million a year. Nearly half of that is  spent on the Buckeyes football program, which has won or shared the Big  Ten title and earned a berth in a BCS bowl game every year since Smith  was hired in 2005.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: x-small;\">But it\u2019s not all been trophies  and accolades. The past few months have been perhaps the most difficult  of Smith\u2019s OSU tenure. He endured the so-called TattooGate scandal  that\u2019s ensnared football coach Jim Tressel and five of his star players  in an illegal benefits NCAA violation. He also was the target of some  criticism in March as the chair of the NCAA Men\u2019s Basketball \u201cMarch  Madness\u201d selection committee.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: x-small;\">After hearing from Smith, the  chapter will present college scholarships, high school journalism awards  and its First Amendment, Brick Wall, Distinguished Service and  Appreciation awards.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small;\">Dinner \u2022 Cash bar \u2022 Silent auction<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: x-small;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/spjfoundersday2011.eventbrite.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Tickets are $30.
