Ohio State Targeting $125 Million Renovation of Woody Hayes Athletic Center in 18 Months

Ohio State AD Ross Bjork announces the Buckeyes are planning a $125 million renovation of the Woody Hayes Athletic Center, with hopes to break ground in 18 months.

Ohio State Targeting $125 Million Renovation of Woody Hayes Athletic Center in 18 Months​

“Frankly, for me, it’s just time to go. We’ve got to get this thing off the ground. We’ve been talking about it long enough, and now it’s time.”– Ross Bjork on OHIO STATE Renovating the Woody Hayes Athletic Center

Bjork said the primary driver behind the project is space.

“Right now, not everyone can fit in the team meeting room when we have a team meeting,” Bjork explained. “The individual position rooms are in the same place as the coaches’ offices. So if (offensive line coach) Tyler Bowen needs to have a private meeting and somebody wants an offensive lineman to watch film, somebody has to leave.”

Bjork said the current plan is to build an updated office complex and weight room that would be part of “new construction” within the current framework, while the rest of the building would undergo “a total renovation.”

Ohio State has no plans to relocate the WHAC, as Bjork noted the program values its location and proximity to Ohio Stadium.

“The location’s great. We don’t want to lose that opportunity of that location,” he said. “But new construction will be part of it, and then a total renovation timeline. We’ve raised some money on it, but that’s why we need some public visibility. We need to get it out to the public. We need to let people know.

“Once we have that, we can really map out a time. It’s not a short turnaround time. You have to design it, you have to go out to bid, you’ve got all the approvals, so we’re probably still 18 months or so from breaking ground. But we’ve got to get the process activated to get the approval started, then we can really put the design in place to have the right building.”

Bjork estimated the project will cost $125 million. He said Ohio State has “gifts committed” and “proposals in front of people” that would get the athletic department close to that figure, but there is still work to do.

NCAA - slowly ruining football (rules changes - merged)

FBS Oversight Committee Proposes Modifications to Practice Calendar, Transfer Portal​

162847_h.jpg


College football’s offseason calendar, preseason structure and transfer portal window could all be in line for changes beginning with the 2027 season, as the Division I Football Oversight Committee continues to advance a series of proposed reforms.

The committee’s latest proposal would significantly reshape how programs manage practice opportunities throughout the year, replacing the traditional spring model with two separate out-of-season practice periods totaling 21 practices. Neither segment could exceed five weeks.

The shift reflects the continued rise of NFL-style organized team activities (OTAs), which have gained support across college football in recent years. Programs are currently permitted 15 spring practices under the existing format.

Preseason preparation would also be shortened under the proposal, with the current 25-day allowance reduced to 21 days. Those practices could be conducted over a 27-day window. An NCAA release noted the adjustment accounts for expanded spring and summer opportunities, stating, “The committee noted that additional practice opportunities would be available during the spring and summer under the new out-of-season activities model, which warranted a four-day reduction.”

Alongside the practice changes, the committee recommended in April shifting the traditional start of the season up one week, to what is currently known as Week 0, ahead of Labor Day weekend.

Roster movement would also be affected under the proposal, as the transfer portal window would be reduced from 15 days to 10. The portal would open on the first business day following Jan. 1 each year. This past cycle’s window ran from Jan. 2 to Jan. 16 after the spring portal period was eliminated.

Beyond practice and roster changes, the committee also continues to explore adjustments to the off-campus recruiting model. That concept would increase the number of staff members permitted to recruit off campus to 17 (including the head coach) and establish a yearly allotment of recruiting days for programs. A formal proposal could be introduced later this summer, with implementation also targeted for 2027.

Ohio State freshman shows incredible body transformation before taking a snap​

The Ohio State freshman could end up seeing significant snaps next season as a freshman.

Bey has made quite the transformation since enrolling in Columbus. He has done a great job dedicating himself to the weight room since deciding that he wants to play for the Buckeyes. While he won't be the starter as a freshman, he certainly will be seeing the field a little bit.

It would be surprising if Bey didn't see the field in some games this season. Bo Jackson and Isaiah West are the starter and the backup, so the Buckeyes are going to only play Bey a little bit. Even so, Bey seems like he's done too much to be sitting on the bench.

Mick Marotti continues to be the strength and conditioning coach for Ohio State. He has some detractors, but Ryan Day clearly thinks he is doing a good job. It's hard to argue with the results, especially after the Buckeyes won the national title in 2024.

Legend Bey could be the next impact freshman for the Ohio State football program​

Bey got a lot of snaps while Jackson and West were sidelined in the spring after having offseason surgery. Until he got hurt, he looked electric out on the field. Now, the Buckeyes have both of their main running backs back. However, they still have to figure out how to get Bey on the field.

Quite frankly, Bey showed too much during the spring not to see the field when the Fall rolls around. Bey will likely see the field in a running back and a receiver scenario. He is a solid freshman who has done a good job of working to make sure that the coaches have noticed him.

2028 GA WR Madoxx Davis (Verbal Offer)

11W Forums

Jamesgandle 42 minutes ago
In a recent interview with Chad Simmons, Maddox Davis stated that he grew up seeing his dad cheer for Ohio State. His dad is from Ohio. We are in his top three with Miami and LSU. The Bucks are contenders for Davis, Brysen Wright, Lorenzo McCullen Jr., Braylon Clark, and lead for Jett Harrison. I know we need numbers for each class, but what is the point in going after the 2027 WRs super hard if we have a stocked 2028 class?

We Don't Deserve Dogs

NJ-Buckeye
My experience is.. the new pup senses things.. especially sadness and grief.. Just seems to know...
and makes themselves a key part of the therapy and recovery... they'll burrow their head into your hands and face if they feel your grief..
seen it many times already.. first hand

The grief is still there but so is the understanding you have a new one you are responsible for.. and if it's a puppy, the added emotion that you are its protector as well.. it's a baby. It all works as therapy.. cuz losing a pet is rough.. rougher than most folks know..

As to "now our dog is 5 years old. I have no idea what I'm going to do when she's gone.".. makes me remember that EXACT sensation... when my all-time fav was exactly 5, I dealt with the same emotion.. lost her at 12.. She will always be my fav... bad ass but very affectionate...

Ohio State Men's Tennis (2014/2019/2024 ITA Indoor National Champs, 20 Straight B1G Titles)

calibuck
Merely a clarifying question if you please. In my experience, tennis (among other sports), has a 'ladder' system. Players play each other, etc, and a ladder is established, 1 through 6. To move up, one has to beat someone higher on said ladder. If the lower player wins, they replace that player, and the former place holder, goes down one, or goes to the place the challenger was. Seems to be the case in wrestling, swimming, orchestra, ?. thanks for clearing away the fog.

2027 CA QB Brady Edmunds is a Buckeye!!!

RB07OSU
calibuck said:
Read that some reporter mentioned that Edmunds was 'very polished' during interviews, and guess that means he's saying all the right things about tOSU. Wish I was a fly on the wall when he was one-on-one with Day, and discussing the realities of tOSU side. But neither are talking. to my way of thinking, it'd be hard, knowing that Sayin is batter up, TSC is on deck, with Edmunds being in the hole behind him, and that Day will be looking to add a 5* QB in the next two recruiting seasons. But also do like that no mention of NIL in conversation.

While I fully expect TSC to turn into a stud, he's still in the heavy development stage to be sure. There's a real shot for Edmunds to come in and win the job when it comes down to him and TSC. Obviously I'd give the edge to TSC but Brady has a chance to compete at a top program and earn the spot.

LB Riley Pettijohn (Official Thread)

calibuck
There's been some great tOSU LB combinations over the years, and so the Arvell/Sonny might just be the best ever seen. Time will tell. tOSU D is predicated on having DL that eats up blockers, and that allows the LBs to roam and blitz. Plus, never underestimate the impact of great DB coverage, that forces the QB to stay in the pocket. Gotta have those other pieces of the puzzle as well.
