Ohio State isn’t affiliated with any institution that’s engaged in systemic sexual assault of children, and actively covering that abuse up, for decades the last I checked Marcus*. If you are going to sell ND you should have the intellectual honestly to mention all of it.

*we are in the same conference as Penn State but that doesn’t count.

Honestly, I'd say depends on the person and the field of study and the career they choose to pursue.

Beyond that, I'd wager the difference is decidedly less important for a football player at either institution than it is for the general student population.

And maybe there's fields where the institution issuing the degree carries more weight, but anecdotally as someone who's been involved in the hiring process for 3 different financial services companies over the past decade, not once has the discussion about a candidate included where they went to school.

Notre Dame's Marcus Freeman 'learned lesson' from Ohio State comments, now more careful​

Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman said last summer's commentary about Ohio State that quickly went viral was a "learning experience." Freeman, who played for the Buckeyes, was not aware of how offensive his Ohio State remarks would be and later said he was misquoted on additional comments centered around the Buckeyes' academics.

A year removed from the brief firestorm, Freeman knows better than to speak freely and has a better understanding of his audience. Innocent offseason fodder no longer exists in college football in the social media age.

"You need to learn. You need those lessons to learn. I think about that article in The Player's Tribune," Freeman said on the most recent The Pivot podcast with Ryan Clark. "You kind of do it that they interview you, and they write it for you. You think that you are talking to Notre Dame fans. You are not thinking about anything else other than Notre Dame fans. And they asked, 'Why did you choose Notre Dame?' And I was like, 'Oh, I made a mistake. I don't want to say no to Notre Dame twice.'

"And poor choice of words because that's all the people at Ohio State read was, 'You regret your decision to choose Ohio State.' No. I wouldn't be where I'm at without those years in Columbus, Ohio, and I value every part of that. It was a great lesson that you have to be careful of the things you say, the things you write and your interviews because it's not just talking to a certain group. Everyone sees it, and everyone can take it a certain way."
