That’s our new world. 😔I hate it with a passion. Hate it.. NIL.. fine.. but there should be something that locks players into a university for X amount of time then.. Hate it.. as much as he heightens OSU's chances to keep winning big, I want to see OSU fans have the opportunity to enjoy him the next 2 years as a Buckeye. Not jump around to the highest bidder.. And sadly, you couldn't blame him for taking a bigger payday somewhere else either if that's the system.
Carnell, Jeremiah and others - including Jermaine Matthew’s, bring offered a lot of coin. Coaches too.
Igbinosun is coming back, going for the all-time PI record, no doubt!!!!Yes. The put mittens on him for several practices. He did better for a while. They need to do that ever practice lol.

It's changed so much I don't really care what the rules are, but they are rules and everybody is able to know them.
Reliable sources confirm that barring last second change of heart, Jim Knowles is headed to Penn State. He has notified James Franklin that he’ll accept their offer of well over $3 million to be highest paid coordinator in college football history. Knowles is from Philly.Where there's smoke.......Your a little late….
:)Let’s see…. Spent $20M on their roster. So..they spent 1.42M per win. And, they got a home playoff game, and win, a Rose Bowl win, a Cotton Bowl win and a CFP win. Plus, the got 4M to make the CFP, another 4M to make final eight, 6M to make final four, and 6M for Natty. So, $20M!

The comparison I don’t see many making is that it’s similar to Major League Baseball. As. Cleveland Indians fan, I understand. Your team will not have the capability to spend like the big boys and the big boys and the league truly don’t give a damn because they like having more money to buy better teams. It takes a rare group that overachieves for a much smaller dollar in order to have a special season and the system is set up to ensure it doesn’t last because it’s just farming the talent for the big boys in the future anyways. It ruins so much of the competitive spirit of a sport. I never thought it would reach the college game.This is insane: Ohio State athletics reports 2024 operating expenses of $292.3 million and deficit of $37.7 millionThere are no limits. I have no doubt that a billionaire will bail out Ohio State's Athletic Dept. This portends that an already unbalanced field is becoming more so. When Iowa and Michigan State broke through in the 1980s, and Wisconsin broke through in the 1990s, there was reason for celebration and renewed interest in college football because it meant that it would no longer be the Big Two forever.Most members of the Big Ten will never see a Big Ten Championship in football in the average fan's 80-year lifetime. So the rest of us cling to this:
Or, perhaps in my lifetime, if it turns out to be longer than I expect
- "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
Under the new rules, the rest of us are f---ed.
- "Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth."

Revenue was down in 23 due to only 6 home games. In 24- back to 8 games, plus playoff. There will be a revenue surplus that more than covers the deficit.Does Ohio State earn $37.7 million per home game?
Does Ohio State earn $37.7 million per home game?Roughly $15m
Does Ohio State earn $37.7 million per home game?~15 Million, and they had three extra home games this year after the fiscal budget closed. Two regular and one playoff for a net gain of ~45 Million.
Bryce Underwood to Ohio State to play WR?Idiots

In a stunning move, Ohio State offensive coordinator Chip Kelly is reportedly set to head to the NFL to work as Pete Carroll‘s offensive coordinator with the Las Vegas Raiders.Well at least one of the guys named kelly found redemption....and even a bigger paycheck. Can't blame him I'd much rather scout talent than recruit it. Must be grating & pathetic all the low brow schmoozing goes to kids waiting for the last - largest offer.
In a stunning move, Ohio State offensive coordinator Chip Kelly is reportedly set to head to the NFL to work as Pete Carroll‘s offensive coordinator with the Las Vegas Raiders.I don't think it's that stunning....Chip quit being a college head coach of a major P4 program in the B1G to be an OC at Ohio State because he's fed up with the college game. All of it. He was bound to jump to the NFL as soon as he got an offer.

He was bound to jump to the NFL as soon as he got an offer.Exactly. This was kind of expected. And, not just ANY offer. $6M annual- making him the highest paid assistant in the NFL.
hopefully, Ryan Day can find someone who can manage to score more than 10 points vs Michigan in the Shoe.I would rather he find someone who can help him win four straight games against top 5 teams by double digits and an average of 17 points.
Saw a report that Hartline will be the OC. I'm sure Day will be heavily involved.they had to promote Hartline or they'd have risked losing him. Hartline has made no bones about it- he wants to move up the coaching ranks and be a head coach one day. not sure there's a better recruiter or WR coach in America right now than Hartline, his run of elite WR's is just flat out fucking ridiculous- can't afford to lose that guy if you're Day.
Ohio State reportedly close to hiring former Detroit Lions head coach and current clown Matt Patricia as DC? No way this can be real, right? Omg please do it Ryan Day. To go from Jim Knowles at DC to a fat retard clown show Matt Patricia that no one would even know who tf the guy was if it wasn't for riding Belichik & Brady coattails would be epic. No way this can be real. Day isn't actually going to do something this stupid, is he?Not sure how I feel about your thoughts here.
Not sure how I feel about your thoughts here.I don’t believe I was trashing Will Howard. I will openly and willingly trash Matt Patricia however, as he absolutely deserves it. The guy is the ultimate coattail rider and is just like all the other Patriots Co-Ordinators from Charlie Weiss, Romeo Crennel, Bill O’Brien, and Josh McDaniels- have never done anything away from Brady-Belichik. All of those guys’ entire careers revolves around working for the greatest QB & head coach in NFL history. What have they done away from them? Nothing.
You were saying similar things when they got Will Howard.

Will Howard didn’t really move the needle imo. Let’s see where he gets drafted and if he does anything in the NFL. Ohio State was an All-Star college team. Lot of QBs would’ve put up numbers there. And I never once said he was trash. I always acknowledged Will Howard was a solid player, but was unsure if he’d be an upgrade over a Year II McCord.

HUGE upgrade over McCord and took them to the promised land. His accuracy and decision making during the playoff run was spectacular

congratulations on all they forgot - Michigan's one win vs Tressel/Meyer 😈https://twitter.com/MichiganClock/status/1939662714625835376
like the attitude but why go public and give out bulletin board material? Probably need to do better than 5 catches for 33 yards at home and just hold that L before you go running the mouth methinks, but hey that's just me.Agree100%.

(https://i.imgur.com/9WfCczv.png)sure, definitely agree with that. having said that, WR is a completely dependent position. if his OL isn't blocking and his QB is under fire and not playing well he's probably going to have a minimal impact on the game....like say....5 catches for 33 yards :)
well, it's on him to back it up. I suppose he's hopin his boys on offense and the defense will be motivated to have his back.true enough.
good luck to the young brash man

Then RD/chip target him once in the 2nd half. But Smith shouldn't open his yap - just win baby
To be continue......the tribunal has yet to rule on The Ann Arbor Arstos infractionsman Michigan has really broken OSU fans to the point where they are praying on the NCAA to save them. sad to see a once proud fandom fall so low. :)

NCAA dropping the hammer any day now. For sure by Sept. 1st.😂😂😂. Well played.

Even Ellison can't cover all the Weiss lawsuits and NIL,not a good look paying off a guy Jeem knew in December had hacked coeds accounts yet kept coaching until the Bowl Game was over. Keep cheering walvies
Ryan Day:Flaming
2018: 3-0
2019: 13-1
2020: 7-1
2021: 11-2
2022: 11-2
2023: 11-2
2024: 14-2, National Title
Overall record: 70-10. Conference record: 46-5. Four CFP playoff appearances, 1 national title.
Insanely awesome record, BUT if he loses to Michigan again and drops to 0-5 in the last 5 how hot is his seat?
Saw this and had to share, great to win without cheating, some people wouldn't understand.back of the shirt should say...."But Didn't Beat Michigan"
