Ohio State President goes rogue against Big Ten proposed CFP expansion plan
Ohio State's president is not on board with what the Big Ten wants to do with the College Football Playoff.
The Ohio State football program has benefited from every change in the College Football Playoff. They have won both the first four-team Playoff and the first 12-team Playoff. The Buckeyes have done well every time that they decide to expand the race for a national championship.
College football has decided that they need to expand the Playoff pool once again. It's something that athletic departments seem to want because of how much more money they would be able to make by adding more teams to the tournament. The SEC wants 16 teams while the Big Ten wants 24.
Ted Carter, the President of the Ohio State Buckeyes, doesn't like what the Big Ten is proposing. In fact, it doesn't sound like he supports expanding the CFP at all. He let that be known in a recent interview, claiming that 12 teams is the ideal number of teams for the CFP.
Ohio State president goes against BIg Ten's CFP expansion plan
In a recent interview, Carter let it be known that he likes the 12-team CFP."I'm a little bit like a lot of fans. We don't need more teams. Let's go back to the old format when there were only four teams in it. If you're Ohio State, and you're one of the four, your odds are a heck of a lot better, right? So with 12, if we can get the scheduling down right, that's going to make us competitive. But I do believe there is going to be some level of expansion."

Ohio State football team had future NFL Draft prospect playing the wrong sport

Ohio State football team had future NFL Draft prospect playing the wrong sport
The Buckeyes had this prospect playing a completely different sport when he was on campus.
No other program has as many defensive prospects that will be drafted in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft as the Ohio State football program. They will likely have four players drafted in the first round. There's an outside chance that side of the ball sees six players drafted that high.
The Buckeyes were one of the best teams in the country this past season. They started the season 12-0 before falling apart in the final two weeks. Oklahoma made the 12-team College Football Playoff for the first time. Owen Heinecke was a key member of the Sooners' defense.
Heinecke started his career with the Ohio State Buckeyes, but he wasn't on the football team. In fact, he played lacrosse with the Buckeyes for one season before transferring to Oklahoma to be a preferred walk-on. Heinecke let everyone know how close he was to playing football for the Buckeyes.
Owen Heinecke asked about joining the Ohio State football program
Heinecke explained the process of going through his time at Ohio State and whether or not he thought about playing football for the Buckeyes."I did. Unfortunately, they were taking my lacrosse scholarship because I was stepping away from lacrosse, and out-of-state tuition was just a little bit too much for me and my family."
Instead, Heinecke ended up transferring back home to Oklahoma to play football. He only entered the draft because the NCAA denied his waiver to play an additional year with the Sooners. They deemed the year he played lacrosse counted as a year of eligibility.
Now, Heinecke will try to get drafted out of Oklahoma. Had he played football for the Buckeyes, it would have been hard for him to see the field. Both Arvell Reese and Sonny Styles are going to be first-round picks, so it would have been hard for him to play snaps ahead of either player.
Heinecke only started one year in his collegiate career, totaling 74 tackles, three sacks, and a forced fumble in 2025.

They couldn’t fucking bother themselves to penalize a team that stole a national championship and fixed football games for 3 years.

NCAA tampering memo promises penalties for rule-breakers: How Dabo Swinney may have invoked change
Dabo Swinney's recent fiery comments seemingly lit a fire under the NCAA's enforcement branch
Jon Duncan, the NCAA's vice president of enforcement, announced in a memo sent to NCAA schools that the Division I Board of Directors has informed its staff to "pursue significant penalties" against tampering offenders along with publicly identifying those found guilty of wrongdoing, according to Yahoo Sports.
Duncan wrote in the memo that the NCAA is working closely with Geoff Means, the chair of the Division I Board of Directors Infractions Process Committee, to quickly address violations.
"It is our sincerest hope that these potential policy and rules changes will better serve the new era of Division I while balancing fairness and efficiency to meet membership expectations," the memo said, according to the report.
Within the memo, the process includes "streamlining various stages of an investigation, collecting information from schools or student-athletes more quickly, conducting interviews on a shorter schedule and/or limiting extension requests often made by parties in infractions cases."
This heavy-handed announcement from the NCAA comes after Clemson coach Dabo Swinney accused Ole Miss and Pete Golding of tampering transfer portal signee Luke Ferrelli. Ferrelli re-entered the transfer portal and committed to Ole Miss after initially landing at Clemson.
"We have a broken system, and if there are no consequences for tampering, then we have no rules and we have no governance," Swinney said last month.
Within a screenshot of the memo posted on social media, Duncan identified tampering as falling under the label of "communications of any kind are not permitted with a student-athlete at another school -- or any other representatives of their interests, including agents -- before that student-athlete entered the NCAA transfer portal."

Just sayin': This will go nowhere. No guilty party (i.e. the school, the coach, the player, not the player's agent, etc.) will ever cooperate with the NCAA's investigation. The NCAA won't be able to prove anything.
Fuck right off
