Ducks don't bother me. Geese bother me. Don't fucking walk across the road - fly over the road. You're birds. FLY!! And they just walk along, like, "What the fuck are you gonna do about it?" And I just sit there thinking, "Nothing - you'd probably smash my Prius if I hit you." So there's just sadness and anger.

Ravi Bellamkonda, tOSU President

Certainly not sustainable on a 'top-flight' 36 varsity sports, AND have A-1 playing fields/courts/pitches/ etc to put them on. I'm used to big numbers, and tOSU's numbers are among the highest, but do worry about the debt being accumulated by the Athletic Department. Cost of Construction is hugemongous, and the debt incurred is also huge. But the facility competition is very keen, and unless you've got a golden goose like Oregon, hard to sustain. Hope the AD is using some of this almost $100million to reduce debt. Pay down construction debt and lower interest payments. Anybody out there do that with household funds? Anyway, glad am not the ones having to figure out where this goes. Also assumes that the academic side of the Buckeye house is keeping distant from all the loot in the AD department.

A couple things I see that will put pressure on the current system:

1. Smaller schools will get fed up with losing their investment when a player transfers and ask for compensation.
2. Whatever organization is trying to oversee football will want a resolution and end to the non-stop lawsuits. Today it is uncontrollable due to all the court cases.

There may be other solutions, but the one that jumps out to me is a collective bargaining agreement. The players would need to organize and have a collective representation to negotiate for them.

I think that's one of the biggest issues. Making sure the smaller schools are actually incentivized to develop guys, despite knowing they will likely lose any significant quality to a bigger school within a 1-3 year period.

He's pretty underrated imo, reminds me of another borderline 4 star WR we got from Cali who's last name rhymes with suave. Not just those two attributes, but his seamlessness in and out of routes, polish and build. WANT.
