Ohio state has been paying its players under the table for years. They just didn't want to do it through the n. I. L. Because then you have no control over the person or the money. When you do it illegally under the table you have full control over that person

Love him or hate him, Ryan Day is COOKIN in this offseason. Looks like he finally got the kick in the ass he so desparately needed. Will be interesting to see how that crowded QB room plays out.

[@SW-bn7ch]

😂 Michigan 3 -0 vs Ohio State

[@HoveringGold]

More then likely, the competition this year will be between Howard and Kienholz, with Howard winning the job and Kienholz the backup. Noland and Sayin probably redshirts, with some playtime, but not a lot. Devin Brown is sadly the odd one out most likely, he's just too injury prone and I wouldn't be shocked if he transferred during the spring.

[@1FootballGuy1002]

Means nothing if Ryan Day doesn’t change his philosophy. From a talent perspective, OSU has never been lacking. Since 2019 they’ve had some of the best players you could ask for. And had the programs most potent passer for 2 years, with the greatest WR room ever. Yet they continue to fail on the national stage. And it’s come down to poor decision making in the biggest moments. Day has to take a look in the mirror if anything is going to change.

Alot of yall clearly dont pay attention to detail. OSU's NIL went mostly towards retaining draft eligible players to stay in school and they filled key needs with the portal. They didnt sign 15 portal kids like Ole Miss (talk about hypocrisy). This was supposed to be the intention of NIL in the first place. Yall had no problem dunking on OSU when their NIL game was trash but now yall hatin because they are doing it well.

I think in the long-term we will see a financial structure similar to the NFL with a Salary Cap so that all the schools can compete. Having a Salary cap will also ensure the best players spread out to different teams just like the NFL.

That in no way ensure _all_ teams can compete.

[@zplapplap]

There cannot be a salary cap until there are both salaries and CFB student-athlete employees. This might take a while. But, like you, I see it in the long term. What I don’t see is any cap on the amount of money a NCAA student-athlete can secure in NIL.

OSU writers have always reported we were behind in NIL because of Gene Smith. With his nearing retirement, we have decided to go all in.

OSU has the largest fanbase in the nation, has the largest alumni base in the nation, and is in a major metro with a rapidly growing economy and population base. Only a few teams also fit this bill nationwide. We are just doing what southern teams have been doing forever, but we have deeper pockets so they will complain and try and get rule changes passed.

The NCAA has the power to vacate wins. But, let’s get real. There will be no stripping of the championship (whatever that would look like). The NCAA is in an existential crisis and would not dare to do it.

Spend that money

Good, as a lifelong Buckeye, I was starting to worry we were on our way to mediocrity. I know that may sound or seem crazy to some people, considering the last time we had more than 2 losses in a year was in 2011, but believe me... this year was different and didn't leave us feeling very positive with the direction of the team. This is big time all around that they went all in.

You still are because you will still get beat by better coaches teams until you fire Day

It wasn’t nearly as big as the SEC team’s 6 transfer guys compared to 16-20 for Ole Miss,Miss St, etc. It’s cool when they do it, it’s a problem when they do it. 😂😂😂😂

[@Mr.rogers1969]

Only 3 teams play football in the Big 20 and you just added 2 of them.

[@tiick__3827]

They’re all getting bought to come play there this year. If OSU doesn’t win it all, they will have more departures than Bama did when Saban retired.

[@logankistler8706]

Keep dreaming lol Ohio state is a semifinal finishing team bare minimum already and probably winning the national championship, none of those young guys are going anywhere if they finish semifinals or in the natty 😭😭

My biggest fear is are these kids with all this money going to listen to coaches or want to go to class anymore!

[@golfbuddy1969]

OSU has the largest fan base, the largest enrollment, the largest alumni, and the largest amount of donors and Boosters. No one except maybe only Texas is close. And they aren’t close.

[@DaveM-jf7ge]

Factually wrong, but ok

[@golfbuddy1969]

@@DaveM-jf7ge wrong how? They do have the largest enrollment. They do have the largest fan base. They do have the largest amount of alumni and boosters. These can be researched for yourself.

[@AdamS235]

TAMU has a larger enrollment

[@di114n2]

They have that because Ohio state will accept literally any person into the school . This isn’t some prestigious school

Jesus Christ, we have entered the era of college football where you literally recruit by just saying... hey ill give you so many millions of dollars to come here instead. CFB is a dumpster fire...

[@authorjeffkosiba290]

With the largest fan and alumni base in all of college football, no one has the ability to hang with Ohio State in this manner. The Buckeyes were recovering this past year still from being played like a fiddle😮 by Quinn Ewers. Now, it is an entirely different story for '24. Ohio St won the first playoff . They will win the first 12 team playoff Facts

Hopefully Day will stay away from calling plays. Those sideline passes that never work are gone!

[@anthonytitone]

Not much, they have never recruited well, even a natty won’t change that. It would help some if Harbaugh was sticking around tho

WHAT IF these programs haven't spent a dime or arent spending millions, and were all wrong?

[@di114n2]

Lmao 😂 because there’s plenty of evidence . Judkins wanted a million and he was committed to Ohio state the next day

[@lytelime8104]

Good football teams and culture are built on meritocracy. Ohio State is paying players that haven’t played a snap in the Shoe more those players that have earned it through hard work, blood, sweat and tears. That can’t be a good reflection on the ideology of that program. New players are essentially robbing the current players of all the work they put in. SMH

SEC and Big 10 leave the NCAA and form a football conference.

Ohio State was born saying game on. That's why they are THE OHIO STATE university

Little Ohio state spend all that money on guys who preferred to go to other places first. Because that means their heart's not in it at Ohio state. They're just there for the money
