2024 Buckeyes Football

Again, those schools don't have an elite program right now, or anything close to it in some cases.

Outside of the Pete Carroll era, USC hasn't been consistently good since...the 70s? And things are only going to be harder for them now.

Tennessee has been completely and utterly irrelevant since the 90s. Same for A&M.

Michigan had a good 3 year run but they are starting at a significant regression to the mean right now, especially if Harbaugh leaves. What they built was a short term solution, not a long term one. It isn't sustainable.

So if these other alums decide to start spending like OSU did this offseason (or even more), that's great and all and sure they'll buy some recruits but it isn't going to make them a contender overnight. Just ask Miami how thats going for them. You have to build a program first. That shit takes time, a lot of time. It's not something that happens overnight by throwing money at it. You need a lot of good people in leadership positions, starting with Head Coach. Mario Cristobal is a joke. Lincoln Riley just had the biggest failure of a season in recent CFB history. I don't even know who Tennessee, A&M, or Michigan's coach is.

Respectfully, I think you're fear mongering a bit here. No, OSU is not going to win every bidding war for every kid they want. That doesn't mean this is an issue or even a threat to their success whatsoever. On the contrary, if the OSU whales are willing to spend like this consistently, combined with the established program which has been elite going on 30 years now, it's going to be to OSUs benefit. They won't even need to bid the most to win recruiting battles, they'll just need to be in the ballpark. Because the kid knows OSU is going to be better for their development than fucking bum programs like Miami/Tennessee/A&M/etc.

Lastly, schools like Miami and A&M have already been throwing crazy money around since the birth of NIL. How is that going for them? Where are the wins? When can we expect their dollars to translate to wins? This is year 4 of NIL now (I think). If this is the big deal you say it is, where are the wins? Miami plays in the ACC for fucks sake, they still can't manage to crack 8 (!) wins.

Also the rules might change. I personally think they will but am not married to that opinion. In the meantime, we have a couple of years at least of national championship potential. I am enjoying the depth chart.

Yeah, it's only a matter of time until the players are just (officially) paid by the schools directly.

Revenue sharing is the appropriate next step here.

Revenue sharing is the appropriate next step here.

What details tho? I agree rev sharing but should OSU have more money to spend than Purdue? Should college NIL be abolished in its current form? Maybe you can opt in to the rev sharing pool but if you opt out you can chase big $ NIL?

I don’t understand how to square the circle. I want a step in the right direction but OSU and other massive programs do move the needle more than smaller ones.

Some of you may be happy….Corey Dennis is leaving Columbus. Not going to spill the beans but it’s for a former program that Urb was head coach.

As a BGSU alum I'd like you to spill the beans if he's coming to BG. I actually was cool with him being in a lesser role, he didn't bother me at all, and seemed to be good with recruits. Like many others just thought QB coach was an obvious position that could be upgraded from a pure coaching standpoint.

I think BG would be a big downgrade for him and unless he was going to somehow get their OC job, whatever position Ohio State was offering him would probably be better pay and look better on his resume.

The reason for this is just the landscape of college football right now. A coach doesn't want to leave a power 5 conference and realistically a program that has substantial NIL money to coach in the MAC. It's just completely different worlds now and it will be hard to work your way back into a good program.

I think it will be Florida or maybe Utah. Both are in power 5 conferences but Florida should have a better position for NIL money. I think he has to show his coaching ability but the ability to recruit in the NIL world.

At places like Michigan, USC and Notre Dame, there is a sizable portion of their alumni that don't give a shit about football or even think football takes away from the prestige of their university. This line of thinking simply does not exist at OSU.

Day needs to go undefeated during regular season, and at least be competitive in the first playoff game.

Staying was not under consideration once the new role was offered.
