Woody Hayes often turned down pay raises; walked to campus from his home in UA early on and there were lots of uncashed checks (NO DIRECT DEPOSIT BACK IN THE DAY) found in his desks both on campus and home after his death that were honorariums, etc. for speaking engagements . His charitable deeds were legendary and never publicized if he could help it. He was a fixture at Children's (NOT NATIONWIDE CHILDREN'S-as it is now "branded") Hospital and at University Hospital (NOT WEXNER MEDICAL CENTER as it is now "branded") -making unannounced visits to people to make a small difference in patient's lives. He had faults like all of us -but he was never in it for the money-it didn't mean anything to him.
