I suspect a lot of smaller schools might be trimming their roster sizes some to make more money available for NIL. Scholarships, food, housing, medical, travel, it adds up. There are a lot of unused scholarship spots in the Big Ten.

It will get worse as the grandfathered walk-ons start to age out and their roster spots just disappear.

Whoever pissed Tilly off…do that before every game.

Came out like he took something personal. I love it.

I sent him a love letter about being softer than the Pillsbury Dough Boy lounging on a mountain of Charmin tissue paper and his mom agrees.

Seems to have struck a chord

Also, Beanie didn’t graduate at 19. His birthday is the first week of August. He graduated at 17 and turned 18 after graduation.

There's is discussion on 11W that OSU's basketball NIL is ranked 12th in the Big Ten and TCUN is ranked 5th nationally (per something Jardy stated). I have no idea how accurate that is, but if relatively close then it's no wonder May is where he's at and Diebler has the bench he does.

I'm not an insider by any means, even I can see OSU didn't spend in the last offseason. Tilly is German-born, which means his NIL options are more limited, and logically speaking that had to impact his decision as OSU's meager offering was comparable to what others could offer ... and he was the best transfer OSU got. Cupps and Ojianwuna, both coming off injuries (and Ojianwuna in fact missing this season because of it) were obviously not guys who would command significant dollars last year. Noel was a local guy who played at Wright State, again not someone you would expect would require big money to come to OSU. Bynum is the only guy they brought in that looks like he could have gotten some decent NIL offers from other schools, and it's not even clear he would have been in line for big money. I do believe some hesitancy with uncertainty regarding the Commission coming & restructuring of OSU's NIL collectives, along with the obvious need to devote most resources to football, were factors in OSU being hesitant to release substantial NIL funds for basketball last year.

Coach Day I don’t have the answer…Arvell has 10.5 sacks through 10 games then none in the last 6 games. Why?

Click to expand...

He had 6.5 sacks through the first 8 games and then none the rest of the season, fyi.

Nice 70-60 win at Washington for the ladies. 26 and 7 for Jaloni with only 2 FT and 13-9 and 5 blocks for Elsa. Love the 9 boards for Elsa, but really hope we can get Kitts back soon.

I listened to most of the Tigers games on a transistor radio back in ‘68.

I got Denny McLain’s autograph (which represents 50% of the autographs I ever solicited in my life), that was the year Denny won 31 games! Crazy year for pitchers, the WS opponent Cardinais had Bob Gibson, whose ERA for the regular season was 1.12, and that’s not a typo. After that season they lowered the mound.

But Lolich got in done in the WS, RIP, Mickey.

p.s. - for those wondering, the only other autograph I ever got was from a Miss Universe.

I don’t think her signing a restraining order against you counts as an autograph….

Lightning are up 6-1 on the Panthers in a game with 155 penalty minutes (so far)....

Not going to lie, watching some of the ‘Pat Casts’ kinda feel like watching the game with my guys. But only if my guys knew more.

I guess I aged out of the drunken frat boy demographic. He does some good interviews..I’ll give you that.

I'd be OK with it if there was an asterisk next to the cheater logo.

In fact, I'm going to buy one and sharpie a god dawned asterisk on it.

And let's not forget that this shit dates back for well over a century. From Fielding Yost using teams of paid mercenaries who had used up their eligibility at Eastern colleges to beat up on high school teams to the university backing Yost in his refusal to follow Big Ten rules in the 10's to put the football program under the authority of the administration and faculty resulting in them being kicked out of the conference until they complied...the original sin of lack of institutional control.

The entire historical DNA of that athletic program is one big dangling chromosome of dirt.

3 way race between OSU, UGA and Tejas. It'd be nice to land Williams, but like I've said, I'm fine with passing on him
