Top end guys are already getting enough NIL to stay another year.

Agree 100%. I've wondered why Butt hasn't been snatched up by the 4 letter or one of the networks, and I think you nailed it.

Well that and no dog.

Gotta have a dog or some other schtick.

He’s like a pro wrestler that just uses a real name.

Lincoln Kienholz was disappointed he didn’t win Ohio State’s starting quarterback job, but that only made him hungrier to prove himself when he got his first opportunity to play this season.

That first opportunity came last weekend against Grambling State, and Kienholz took advantage of it. The third-year quarterback from South Dakota, who didn’t throw a pass in 2024 as Ohio State’s fourth-string quarterback, completed six of seven passing attempts for 71 yards and his first career touchdown pass while also running for 10 yards on two carries.

“I made the most of it. I went out there and just did the best I could, just trying to put the team in the best spot to go out and score,” Kienholz said. “I think overall, I did well. I think also there's one incompletion that I could have probably made, but other than that, it was solid.

“It honestly felt really fun just to go out there,” Kienholz added. “Just making the plays I did, scoring a touchdown and also just leading the team down every time I guess I was in and scoring, I think it was honestly really fun and I enjoyed it a lot.”

Kienholz, who met with the media on Wednesday for the first time since Julian Sayin won the starting quarterback job, admits it was hard to accept he wouldn’t be the Buckeyes’ starter this year. But Ohio State’s coaches have reminded their No. 2 quarterback that he’s just one play away from entering the game at all times, and the Buckeyes’ backup has taken that message to heart.

“I think it's really important to go out there and prepare like the starter,” Kienholz said. “I've talked to multiple coaches and they all say that I'm one play away from going in there, and they want me to be ready and just make the most of that opportunity.”

Just sayin': Sayin is a rs-Frosh and Kienholz is a rs-Soph. Lincoln's only chance to start now is if Sayin gets injured or somehow becomes ineligible, etc. I hope Lincoln doesn't end up transferring; however, his QB future at Ohio State could just be Kenny Guiton 2.0. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing; other notable backup QBs at Ohio State include Ron Maciejowski and Cardale Jones.

Be that as it may, it seems like Larry Ellison increasing his net worth by $100 billion overnight is an issue that may significantly affect college football. If he wants to treat the Michigan football team as his pet project going forward (or his wife after that old man passes), a drop in the bucket to Ellison would single-handedly create a payroll with which no other college football team could compete.

I guess he's worried that it's going to mess up the evaluation and he'll get passed over. I see what you and he are saying though. He very well could get passed over in favor of another CB recruit who's healthy. But also, it is only September and if he's healthy by say early October that gives him time to put some good film to evaluate

This guy has been an excellent addition to BTN despite his poor choice in university. I can't say I enjoy any CFB announcers all that much, but I had no complaints about him Saturday which is basically the highest praise I can give any announcer these days.

Reminds me of how Spiels was.

Actually knowledgeable about the game and able to convey it while staying about as neutral as you can be.

Of course, that's why these type of guys never get to the lofty spaces of the Frosted Tip cliche spewers of the broadcasting world.

Knowledgeable and fair doesn't push many peoples buttons.

I’d take him as a broadcaster over a certain frosted tips guy any day of the week.

Hate to go sideways in a recruit's thread, but can someone explain to me how a person who is on NCAAF gameday shows is permitted to do this sort of stuff? Or are there just no rules anymore?

Didn't you get the memo? You're allowed to cheat to win titles.

Just sayin': Ursuline HS isn't an inner city Youngstown public HS. It's a high academic catholic college prep HS. Obviously the school's football program wasn't practicing what the school is supposed to be preaching.

Mission Statement
We are Ursuline, a college preparatory high school of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Youngstown.
We come from diverse backgrounds in the spirit of St. Angela Merici and the Ursuline Sisters to be living witnesses to the wisdom and virtue of Christ and His Church.
We form a family of faith, achievement, and promise, striving to be life-long learners and responsible citizens in a global society.
Soli Deo Gloria

Fortunately for the victims (if they get a monetary judgment) the catholic church has "deep pockets" and fortunately for the taxpayers in Youngstown this is not a public HS.
