Or UFM hiring wedding party guys to manage key parts of his football team (LBs, and Wrs)....guess the solution is to hire ex-Buckeye players to be position coaches.....

I mean they’re starting to establish a pretty nice track record.

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.

Just finished this…



Good, fairly short read. Honestly, if you’ve seen the film “13 Days” based on this, you don’t really need to read the book. That’s a great flick, btw.

Yeah, plus all the boxes of Lucky Charms he can eat.

Joey Brackets has put out his first 2027 prognostication, which has OSU at a #9 seed (9th in the B1G).

“Cincinnati Athletics has no comment at this time.”

It appears that they also had no comment at the time they found out about it either.

The time to comment will come after they get their bets down at Polymarket.

I went there in the early 90s. That was some bad football. 3 wins in my 4 years there. My Sophomore year I had a roommate from the Pittsburgh area that would go home a lot on the weekends.

Kent State football is a stepping stone program for coaches to get a better job if they have success. I blame them for not hiring Nick Saban in 1987.


They got $1.5 million from Oklahoma and $1.2 million from Florida State.

We must have overlapped there. I believe the football team managed a total of four wins in my four years.

I wonder why there was no interest. Lack of talent ? Behavior issues? His own coach warned teams?

Its a mix of him not fitting the mold of an NFL QB and his attitude. If he was less over the top arrogant douche some team may have taken a late round flyer on him. Nobody is going to want a headache from a player who's 99.9% not going far. He's got a top pick attitude for a UDFA camp fodder caliber player. That doesn't fly

Buckeyes should give him $149.99 which is $10 for every catch he made.
