Every football team helps their players get better, for the university primarily, but for the athlete also. But how many actually care about that kid once their eligibility is used up? Would guess not so many. Real Life Tuesday (or is it Wednesday?) is special as it exposes these student-athletes to companies/CEO's that are certainly out of their leagues to meet as a college student. Would have killed to have that opportunity to make an impression on a top flight company officer back in the day. (although I was kinda immature at that age). Just the exposure, let alone that potential to actually intern at a place like that is certainly a gift. Also, not mentioned lately, but hope is still available, is the 'return to tOSU' program (my name, probably not theirs), which welcomes back the player (others?) who get their shot at the pros, and either don't 'have it', get injured too badly, etc. and can come back to The Ohio State University to complete the credits needed to finish up their degree and get their sheepskin. Always thought that was way cool. Don't really know if was free, or ex-players got a grant/scholarship or somesuch to pay the bills. Anyway, anyone know or any other ways tOSU helps their players survive and thrive? Go Bucks!
