Hi Everybody, Probably the worst person to perform this task, so I'm just going to get into it. As you may or may not have noticed, and if you're around, you probably did. But, Jake hasn't posted in a while. Of course part of the fun a place like this (and being online in general) is there's...

Sorry about Jake. I don't read all the forums here - I know, shame on me.

A program-record 95 Ohio State football players were named Ohio State Scholar-Athletes for having a cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 or better. 805 total athletes across the Ohio State athletic department earned Scholar-Athlete honors for the 2024-25 academic year.

Ohio State athletic director Ross Bjork believes the Buckeyes’ athletic and academic success go hand in hand.

“If you're doing one thing in your life at the highest level, you're going to do everything else at the highest level,” Bjork told Eleven Warriors. “No one's going to take a day off. No one's going to take a shortcut. So if you just look at our football team, look at our women's hockey team; women's hockey has led the department in cumulative team GPA, and we've been in six out of the last seven Frozen Fours, won two out of the last four national championships. Football had the highest GPA (in program history) last spring, last fall, they're on track this spring to have a really great GPA, and we just won the national championship. So again, correlation between excellence in one category – academic, social life, whatever – is going to bleed over into the athletic realm.”

See an awful lot about Battle as a player, but not as much as a coach. Did leaving hurt the Buckeyes? Seriously don't know what the composition is among the coaches, not as well defined as football. Would guess he spent most of his time with the guards, but really zero clue how these guys divide up the positions. Anyway, wish him well, except the two times a year we tee it up against PSU.

Kind of like DJ Carton. So over these flakes.

Bagmen.

hmm. Septermber 31st or march 32nd?

Good replacement hire. Actually a better resume than Willard.

I've adopted the Jays as my second team since they're local and I've been able to go to several of their games living here. Glad he chose them if it wasn't gonna be the Bucks.

If anyone has a SportsCult invite that they would like to extend to someone who will maintain good ratios, please shoot me a message!

I’m hoping that Damon Arnette has matured and grown in life and can have some type of professional success. This may be his last 2nd chance

Meh. To me just looks like new AD cleaning out the old closets and making room for his own hires.

Why NCAA Committee Denied Colorado, Syracuse's Request for Spring Game​

Here's the reasoning behind the FBS oversight panel's denial.

The NCAA's FBS oversight committee on Friday denied a waiver request, filed last week by Colorado and Syracuse's football programs, that proposed a joint 11-on-11 spring scrimmage game, according to Chris Vannini of The Athletic.

The waiver request also proposed contact and non-contact practice sessions between the Buffaloes and Orange in the 2025 spring practice period. In an explanation of its denial obtained by Vannini, the NCAA listed two main areas of concern with the request:

"The timing of the request, noting most institutions have already planned their spring practice periods and some are at the end of, or have completed, their spring practice period," the NCAA said.

"The competitive and recruiting advantage gained by the applicant institutions if a waiver was approved to allow these institutions to engage in activities no other institutions are permitted to do. And the potential academic impact associated with student athletes missing class time to participate in spring activities."

However, the committee agreed to further discussions, in a future meeting, that could ultimately lead to joint spring practices in the future. The idea of a joint spring practice and game isn't new, but it quickly picked up steam again after Sanders floated a pro-style alternative to the current format while speaking to reporters last week.
