Buckeyes see change in plans for top 2026 QB, dish out latest offer in 2025 class to Virginia RB
Ohio State is primed to host an impressive list of visitors this weekend.
www.landgrantholyland.com
A 5-foot-10, 200 pound athlete, Dalton took to Twitter to share that Ohio State was the latest to join his recruitment. A Virginia native, he’s currently the No. 483 player nationally and the 39th best player at his position per the 247Sports Composite. While the ranking may not be as high as many of the other targets Ohio State is in on, Dalton’s offer list that includes the likes of Alabama, Florida, Penn State, Tennessee, and several others goes to show that it may be time for an update in the overall grades.
Ohio State’s 2025 class is sure to be a larger one in terms of the amount of guys they bring in, and running back will look to have at least two committed, if not more, when all is said and done. In-state back Bo Jackson is atop of the leaderboard for the Buckeyes, but Alford is looking for additional guys they feel confident in.

New D1 Subdivision--the Beginning of the Split?

Skull Session: Ross Bjork Wins His Introductory Press Conference, The NCAA’s Proposed Subdivision Costs Millions and C.J. Stroud is a Rookie of the Year Finalist
Ross Bjork wins his press conference, the NCAA’s proposed subdivision would cost Ohio State millions and C.J. Stroud is a Pepsi Rookie of the Year finalist.
COUNT THE COST. On Dec. 5, 2023, NCAA president Charlie Baker proposed the creation of a new subdivision within Division I that would allow the highest-resource schools the ability to compensate athletes from trust funds and NIL.
The proposal, which Yahoo Sports’ Ross Dellenger and The Athletic’s Nicole Auerbach obtained, featured several recommendations for NCAA Division I members to consider:
- The formation of a new subdivision made up of institutions with the highest resources that can directly compensate athletes through an “enhanced educational trust fund,” which requires the schools that opt into it an investment of at least $30,000 per year per athlete for at least half of the school’s eligible athletes. Schools would have to adhere to Title IX, providing equal monetary opportunities for female and male athletes.
- Schools in the new subdivision could create their own rules separate from the rest of Division I. Those rules would allow them the ability to address policies such as scholarship limits and roster size, as well as transfers and NIL.
- Any Division I school would be able to enter into an NIL deal with its athletes directly. This is not currently permissible under NCAA rules.
- Any Division I school would be able to distribute to any athlete funding related to educational benefits without any caps on such compensation.
While Baker's proposal could use a few tweaks, what would happen if the plan came into effect before the 2024 college football season? How much would Ohio State spend to enter the “elite subdivision”?
The Washington Post added up the cost for the Buckeyes: $14.3 million – the most among all colleges and universities.
ESTIMATED COST TO JOIN NEW SUBDIVISION
| SCHOOL | ATHLETES | MINIMUM COST | 2022 REVENUE | % OF REVENUE |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| OHIO STATE | 950 | $14.3 M | $251.6 M | 5.7% |
| MICHIGAN | 853 | $12.8 M | $210.7 M | 6.1% |
| PENN STATE | 792 | $11.9 M | $181.2 M | 6.6% |
| NORTH CAROLINA | 771 | $11.6 M | $122.6 M | 9.4% |
| CALIFORNIA | 745 | $11.2 M | $109.6 M | 9.5% |
