Anytime you can win a game like this, it's a real boost for your tourney chances. I'm not going to go as far as call it a must win, but they definitely need to get more quality wins to help make the tournament, and this would be in that category.

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

Did I mention I am not an attorney, I am not a CPA, and this should not be construed as tax not legal advice. I really don't want to go to jail at my age. And my wife said she didn't want me to go to jail either, which kind of shocked me.
I concur that you are quite untrustworthy. We can bring in a host of witnesses if it pleases the court.

As alays, trust the coaches (only).

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

@Mike80 has to pay taxes on the revenue so up to him, but I'd be asking you guys to work with me to keep it as close to break even as possible.

I wouldn't imagine it to be a huge amount but easy for us to say when it's not our tax bill
I really hate to put this in writing or even admit this, but @Jaxbuck tends to make some very good points in many of his posts. However, I believe in this instance his concerns may be easily avoided.

First, my disclaimer. I am not an attorney. I am not a CPA. Nothing that I say is to be construed as tax nor legal advice. I do not want to go to jail.

So far as the tax code designation 501(c)(3), I believe the only application would be if someone tried to claim what they gave (not paid) to Mike as a tax deduction. I trust none of us would do that.

Concerning money being given to Mike personally, as long as it is designated as a gift to a friend/relative/other person and there are no goods or services received then it should be a tax free gift. If someone chooses to give Mike over $19,000 in a calendar year then the person who was stupid enough to give Mike that much would be subject to paying a gift tax. Again, I am stating this as my belief, not as fact.

My belief is taxable income to Mike would come into play if we use the PayPal button that says payment for goods or services. As long as we are careful to use the gift button it should be fine.

Did I mention I am not an attorney, I am not a CPA, and this should not be construed as tax nor legal advice? I really don't want to go to jail at my age. And my wife said she didn't want me to go to jail either, which kind of shocked me.

Candidly, for as much fun as that may have been, I think that the potential legal issues for the individual in charge outweigh the potential fun. There's significantly greater potential for loss than there is for gains. To that end, govern yourself accordingly.

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'

OC Arthur Smith (Official Thread)

Urban Meyer gives insight as to how Ohio State will integrate Arthur Smith

The Ohio State football program will have a new offensive coordinator to learn from in 2026. The former Buckeye head coach talks about how it will work.

The Ohio State football program will have a new offensive coordinator for next season. With Brian Hartline now in Tampa, the Buckeyes needed someone who could come in and call plays. Ryan Day's play-calling against the Hurricanes was a disaster, so they can't let that happen again.

Ultimately, Day decided that Arthur Smith was the right person to come in and coordinate the offense. Smith was the offensive coordinator for the Pittsburgh Steelers in each of the last two years. Before that, he was the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons.

Simply put, he has a wealth of experience and has an idea of how he wants the Buckeyes to play offense. Former coach Urban Meyer gave some insight as to how Day will integrate a new offense for the Ohio State Buckeyes and how smooth the transition will be.

Urban Meyer offers insight to the Ohio State football team's new offense

While speaking on the Triple Option Podcast, Meyer offered up his take on how Day will mesh his offensive ideas with what Smith wants to do.

"Ryan's pretty well set in his offense. That's the same offense, terminology, we used when I was there. Chip Kelly changed it a little bit because the minute you hire a big-name coordinator, the coordinator is going to run his stuff...I think there's going to be a little bit of a mesh of what he's (Smith) done before."

Smith has a very run-happy offense. He ran that while he was with the Titans, Falcons, and Steelers. Ohio State's offense under Day has been more predicated on the passing game. That's why Jeremiah Smith is one of the best players in the country. Keeping him and Julian Sayin happy will be key.

The Buckeyes need to have a stronger run game to maintain balance, but not at the expense of Smith's touches. Sayin was a Heisman Finalist this past season, and Smith should want to make sure he develops even further. Day is going to make sure that happens.

2026 NFL Draft April 23 - 25 at Point State Park and Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh

Ohio State is about to put four players in the NFL Draft’s top 10

Elite production, positional versatility, and first-round traits across the board have positioned Ohio State for a historic night at the top of the NFL Draft.

Caleb Downs: generational safety, modern evaluation problem

Arvelle Reese: the draft’s most dangerous chess piece

Carnell Tate: WRU’s next elite receiver

Sonny Styles: redefining the off-ball linebacker ceiling

The bigger picture

Kayden McDonald will almost certainly hear his name called in the first round as well, but the top-ten conversation belongs to these four.

What makes this moment notable is not just the number, but the diversity of elite talent. A safety, a hybrid linebacker, a wide receiver, and a coverage-savvy linebacker climbing boards simultaneously speaks to Ohio State’s ability to develop players across the spectrum of modern football.

Four Buckeyes in the top ten is not an anomaly, it is a reflection of how the game is changing, and how Ohio State continues to stay ahead of it.
