Professional Players Returning to College

I doubt the NCAA can argue the amateur vs. professional angle. They may be arguing the total time from freshman year to now and counting the G-league years as effective CBB years.
They now allow NCAA eligibility for players who played and were paid in European professional leagues. They just reduce the eligibility years. If you played three years of professional ball in Europe, you will only get 2 years of NCAA eligibility.

CB Dominick Kelly (Official Thread)

Except that he's not going to transfer again after this season unless something goes seriously off of the rails. Plays in 26, starts in 27 and 28. Got to think that's both sides' intention with bringing him in.

If he’s as good as I think he can be, we won’t see him in 28.

Davison Igbinosun dominating at Senior Bowl practices

The Senior Bowl practices are chaotic, with over 130 players participating, and the action moving nonstop for several hours every day. It can be easy to miss individual success stories amid everything going on. However, a few players stand above the rest every single day by making play after play — Davison Igbinosun was one of those on Tuesday (and will likely do it again Wednesday/Thursday).

Igbinosun was smooth, quick, and violent on every single rep. It didn’t matter if it was one-on-ones, individual positional drills, 7-on-7, or full 11-man team sessions, Igbinosun consistently stood out. His play of the day came on a pass from LSU’s QB, Garrett Nussmeier. Igbinosun was in off-coverage, facing Cincinnati wide receiver Cyrus Allen on the outside of the formation. Allen ran a quick route, coming back to the line of scrimmage, Nussmeier placed the ball perfectly outside, away from Igbinosun, but former Ohio State star broke quickly and sent the ball flying into the sideline.

Igbinosun continued making solid plays throughout the first day of Senior Bowl practice, and even when he would fail to make a pass break-up, he still found himself draped all over opposing wide receivers (as you can see on his rep against Kevin Coleman in the post below from our own A to Z Sports’ Commanders writer, Josh Taylor).

This was Igbinosun’s style throughout his time with the Ohio State Buckeyes, using his 6-2, 195-pound frame, with great length and physicality, to make wide receivers feel his presence on every single snap. He defended 23 passes and intercepted four passes in college, so it’s no surprise to see him doing more of the same now at the highest levels of football competition.

Igbinosun is almost certainly going to continue his run of dominance in Mobile at the Senior Bowl. He’s definitely going to test well at the NFL Combine. Ohio State fans should expect to see Igbinosun rise quickly over the next few weeks, and perhaps be the sixth Buckeye off the board this spring in the NFL Draft — likely following Caleb Downs, Carnell Tate, Arvell Reese, Sonny Styles Jr., and Kayden McDonald.

CBS Sports Classic

Ohio State basketball team has a new opponent in CBS Sports Classic

The Ohio State basketball team will face a new opponent in a key non-conference clash that they have every year.

The Ohio State basketball program has been taking part in one of the best in-season matchups for over a decade. The CBS Sports Classic started back in 2014, and the Buckeyes have played in that event every year. It's a tournament that showcases four of the best programs in the country.

From the start, the Classic involved the Ohio State Buckeyes, UCLA, Kentucky, and North Carolina. Then, UCLA joined the Big Ten, making the potential rotation with the Buckeyes and the Bruins a conference matchup. That's something that they wanted to avoid.

Now, the CBS Sports Classic will no longer feature the Bruins. Surprisingly, they have left instead of Ohio State. There is now a Big 12 team included in the CBS Sports Classic, as Kansas will now join the rotation. That means every P4 conference is represented now.

The Ohio State basketball team will face Kansas in CBS Sports Classic

The Jayhawks will take on the Buckeyes in next year's version of the CBS Sports Classic. Ohio State will then take on Kentucky in 2027 and UCLA in 2028. Kansas will face the Buckeyes again in 2029. Next year's version of the Classic will take place in Madison Square Garden in New York.

BuckeyePlanet Calls for Aid! -- Let this be the hour!

To echo what @ORD_Buckeye said, if we know what amount needs to be the monthly threshold, we can all equally contribute.

I presume if you had 50 with $1.99 a month (just spit balling numbers) that would be ideal.

As for start up capital - again, if we can get a number, an approximation on 3 month cost, I know I'd be happy to contribute.

Edit: Will McNeilings be a thing again ?

Dear God, say 'yes'
