Ohio State president Ted Carter blew up his $1.5 million-per-year job and risked his 45-year marriage over an “inappropriate relationship” with a local podcaster, according to a report.

Carter’s resignation — which came after he admitted he gave “inappropriate access to Ohio State leadership” to a woman who wanted help with her personal business — was “possibly connected” with Krisanthe Vlachos, host of “The Callout Podcast,” a show sponsor told NBC 4.

“JobsOhio is aware Ted Carter resigned this morning as President of The Ohio State University and that this situation is possibly connected to a relationship between him and the host of a podcast for veterans, which we sponsored,” JobsOhio, an economic development group, said in a statement.
