My daughter is a Junior and looking at many schools, possibly to play golf ...somehow even having grown up most of her life in Michigan she has never taken a shine to either of the B10 schools there. Now living in Indiana she has no desire to go to any of the B10 schools here either.
If she gets a scholarship academic or sports, it is her choice.....If I'm paying then I'm having a say in....

Just because your kid is wearing it doesn't mean you have to.
Yes I would have absolutely no problems being the one father in the parents section at Ann Arbor who was wearing Scarlet & Gray...while they're playing ND, Penn State, MSU or anyone else...

If my son or daughter ever decided to go another school except for OSU then it would be their choice and I would support them. But just because they choose another school doesn't mean that they have to stop being a Buckeye Fan.
I would have brought them up well enough to understand that once you are a Buckeye fan you are always a Buckeye fan no matter what school you go to.

It's the kids choice ultimately.
By that time your kid should be acting more and more like an adult. A college choice is one (hopefully) of the very first big decisions they will make where they will have to live with that choice.

What do you need water for, Sunshine?
i have two degrees from tOSU, and my wife's a yale grad so we both have very strong personal preferences. when it comes to our 3 year old, our philosophy is that he can go wherever (or nowhere) that he chooses. having said that, i'm not just sitting back... i've started the brainwashing early and while i don't live in ohio, i plug him into the buckeye spirit with every opportunity.
just a couple of real examples:
the first word he could spell (even before his own name)? O-H-I-O.
the first number he recognized? #33!
what song does he constantly ask me to sing in the car? buckeye battle cry (and you can trust me when i say it's not because i have good voice)!
who does he say he is when he runs around the yard and on the playground? beanie!
the only thing he knows about yale? they make good locks! it also helps that his favorite thing (the forklifts) at his favorite local store (lowes) are also made by yale!
but, like i said, it's just for fun. at the end of the day he can choose his own path because he's going to have to own his choice and step up to whatever comes of it. i wanted to study engineering, so my [immigrant] parents put pressure on me to go to tsun or purdue because they said those two had better engineering programs, but i didn't feel comfortable there (especially in AA) like i did at ohio state. now they're happy and proud that i went to ohio state because, hopefully/partly, i've shown them that it's helped me to have a good shot at being a success.

It's not a joke. He doesn't own them though. I do. He sold them to me for fifteen dollars and a pack of camels.
