Look Who's Transferring Now (The Portal)

[BuckeyeNation27]

There must be some serious issues with the NIL. Wondering if donors are pushing back on Day.

The messaging by Bjork and Day that OSU has accomplished what it set out to do by making the playoffs kind of makes sense in light of those comments.

I think the donors are pushing back. I am kind of ok with it if my take is accurate. Next year is a rebuild year and Day needs to figure some things out with Scum.

I think you're connecting dots that already meet your desired outcome of Ryan Day being fired.

Nah..... i didn't say that at all. Please stop putting words in my mouth. Something is off when there are areas of need and OSU can't even get to the table. I am fine with missing out on 17 year old kids, but this is completely different.

Day does need a wake up call, because the play calling in the game is flat out concerning. I can't think of a single way to reason through the play calling in the last game. The rivalry will water down later, but right now it is important The whole tough thing needs to stop.

Some of the things I do see with him are getting old, however, there is still a lot of good too, and what makes me more scared is what is out there to replace him.

Sometimes a little heat is proper to get a wake up, and one would expect by now the OSU bagmen wanting results.

This seems as good a place as any to put this. Looks like OSU fans are the only ones suffering:

There are no real binding contracts; there is no players association; there is zero collective bargaining; and there is no punishment for rule-breakers as many of the rules themselves are the target of legal scrutiny.

For example, the NCAA and conferences are somewhat handcuffed in enforcing their rules around both transfers and athlete compensation because of court rulings and state laws.

How the industry got here is quite simple: Schools and their leaders, generating billions in television revenue and ticket sales, delayed sharing wealth for so long that federal judges and state lawmakers forced them to do it.

Perna described the industry as “a million percent broken” and only manageable “for five to 10 schools.” West Virginia president Gordon Gee, a leading member of Perna’s movement, agreed: “We have to fix it.”

As expanded College Football Playoff arrives, the sport's chaotic realities are on full display: 'It is absolute bedlam'

College football is in the middle of an unprecedented evolution as it shifts from an amateurism model to a professional entity, Put simply: It's a mess right now.

Some people here are satisfied with just beating the Iowa's, MSU's, and Purdue's of the conference

Don’t confuse being satisfied with understanding that bitching on a forum doesn’t change a fucking thing. Just because people chose to not stomp their feet like petulant children throwing a tantrum — because step the fuck back and take a look around… that’s what’s happening here and elsewhere — doesn’t mean that people are satisfied.

Exactly just a place to bull shit.

Not what I'm referring to at all so take a breath champ. I've read posts on here saying that what Day has been doing is good enough - e.g. win 10 games, make the playoffs 50% of the time, and not have players getting in trouble off the field - to keep his job long term. That is what I'm referring to. I'm not saying everyone should constantly piss and moan

Listen pal, don’t call me champ.

In seriousness, I do think that there is some part of the administration that does value winning 10-games, filling the stadium for home games, having no player names showing up in the CPD blotter and having a very solid APR. I may have been one of those who said what you were relaying, but in that light.

The football program is part of the tOSU brand. It’s not THE tOSU brand… and as ORD has pointed out many times, the athletic department money flows are dwarfed by the grant money that comes into the university. Football is just more visible to most of the public.

If the school cared only about winning, I would have to guess, things would be very different. I strongly suspect that the administration is willing to take a bit of a hit on the football field to protect the entirety of the brand.

I don’t have to tell you that the administration’s job is to maximize tOSU in its entirety. That may mean a local sub-optimal state for parts of it… like football. And if ‘their guy’ in place is doing his part on the football side to help them maximize the rest of the brand… they aren’t going to make any changes.

Obviously, that’s all speculation on my part as to if the administration views the current coach as doing what they _really_ want him to do. We’ll all find out soon enough, right?

I didn't say you SAID it. Don't put words into MY mouth. Your obvious bias is showing, though.

It read like you said I was rationalizing a path to Day's downfall.

Bias about what? I am actually rooting for Day. I want him to succeed. I believe that OSU may do everything different than what was done in the Game.

If we haven't seen brilliant coaching from Day, then it wouldn't be so frustrating.

However, I can't see how a rational observer doesn't recognize some things that Day has done, probably philosophically that bring about a huge question mark. If people are cutting huge checks, how can they possibly be happy? Especially if it comes down to play calling issues.

Criticism or concern aren't always bad things. I don't go on other social media and blast the program and Day.

There are two things I am openly critical of under Day. The offensive line and special teams. I admit to bias that way.

I'm probably confusing you with somebody else, then. But you were connecting dots that I don't think are there. Who knows. I agree with your assessment of the shitty play calling last game, but that's like saying I agree breathing is cool.

Hey, no reason to argue between fans. I am still spinning from the Game. Lol. Sorry for getting into it with you.

Go Bucks!
