Should semipro/college players be paid, or allowed to sell their stuff? (NIL and Revenue Sharing)

I'm just saying that these guys can have both. They can get the pussy while active as athletes without spending any money and if they have a bunch more money later it just expands the longevity of having lots of pussy options. When it comes to pussy, I think the short-term is a push between spending or saving/investing and the long term is better with saving/investing.

Don't you have to go to the1930s for them to have an all time series lead. We all know that the 2002-2019 was a wonderful aberration, but they act like the Cooper years were indicative of the entire rivalry. Even with the Cooper years we've always had a solid series lead since 1950.
you have to go back to 1900. and Ohio State is 52-51-4 in that time span.

2026 tOSU Recruiting Discussion

Kudos for betting on himself, though I know the extra $500k didn't hurt.
"Betting on himself" is the right way to put it – it's a definite risk with an unknown reward.

Instead, he should be "investing in himself." Here's what I mean....

There are two types of prospects who should always take the largest "bag":

(1) The kids who are going to be NFL stars regardless of where they go to school. For example, Jeremiah Smith and Caleb Downs. That's less than one percent of prospects; and

(2) The kids who have no reasonable chance to have a significant NFL career. That's at least 95% of prospects.

It's the kids in the middle 4-5% who really need to think about investing for the future rather than taking the biggest bag now.

If Ohio State offers a prospect $500k less than another school, that prospect needs to consider if "investing" that $500k in an Ohio State football "education" will make him a more marketable commodity in the NFL – in other words, will "earn" him more down the road than the $500k that he is leaving on the table now. Certainly, Ohio State has used that sales pitch on WR recruits who believe that learning to play the position from Brian Hartline will "pay dividends" at the next level. (Most everyone who goes to college uses a similar calculus – pay for an education to get a better job upon graduation.)

Part of the problem is that many kids in the 4-5% middle category think that they're in the top 0.1%. It will be interesting to see how often NIL money will enhance careers ... and how often it will ruin careers.

I'm fairly confident that Moore got his position to keep him quiet about the whole operation. Hell hath no fury like an assistant coach who has dirt on your program and wants more than what he has. *ichigan knew that when they offered him the spot. Joe Paterno knew it when he gave a spot to McQueary.

He doesn't have any dirt on the program, anymore. Maybe Day purposely lost to *ichigan last year to ensure he'd be there a few more years.
They hired him bc they figured they could offer him up to the NCAA by firing him and acting like that was a penalty. That blew up in their faces a while ago :lol:
