Ohio State: most valuable football program

15.7 net on 336 in revenue is a sub 5% net profit business.

I don't believe that for one second.

Is that with football still paying the entire sports budget at OSU?

Yes.

Donors were $68M. So the AD made a total of $268M.

Another article said the football team brought in $160M in revenue, but I don’t think that includes media rights, which was another $65M and that’s 95% football generated. So there’s $220/$268M is from football. I’m not sure what’s in the $160 number and if it includes concessions from the games.

Non-football ticket sales were $14M.

I imagine most of the rest of the money likely comes from licensing deals, concessions, and merch, etc. which is heavily driven by football.

I’d love to see the entire balance sheet if anyone knows where to get it.

2026 tOSU Recruiting Discussion

2026 Freshman Class​

  • Day doesn’t know if Ohio State will sign as many players in future recruiting classes after signing 28 freshmen this year.
  • Day believes the players Ohio State signed are players who want to be at Ohio State, who want to graduate from Ohio State and who want to win the rivalry game and win championships at Ohio State. “I think if you talk to people in the program and in the building right now, they're very impressed with the makeup of these guys.”

Grading Ohio State's 2025 Defense Position-By-Position​

161396_h.jpg


The Matt Patricia experiment proved to be a smashing success for Ohio State in 2025. However, as important as schematics are, the most important element to high-quality football is high-quality players. The Buckeyes had high-quality players on their 2025 defense.

Kayden McDonald, Arvell Reese, Sonny Styles and Caleb Downs have a great chance to give the Silver Bullets a first-round 2026 NFL draft pick at every level of the defense. More All-Big Ten performers like Caden Curry and Davison Igbinosun supported them.

Ohio State finished the season with the No. 1 scoring and total defense in college football. The Buckeyes’ defense fueled a key victory over Texas to open the season and stifled almost every attack Michigan offered in The Game. Even as the offense sputtered in the Big Ten Championship Game against Indiana, the Silver Bullets battled time and again to keep a win within sight.

Miami wore down Ohio State’s front in the College Football Playoff quarterfinals and salted away a win with its running game, but that’s one of the very few blemishes on the résumé of an elite 2025 Buckeye defense. Spoiler: There are lots of As on this report card.

Defensive Line - Grade: A-

Linebackers - Grade: A​

Safeties - Grade: A+​

Cornerbacks - Grade: B+​
