Notre Dame with punchout turnover.

Sets them up for points 

Could you say “Announcer jinx” on that one? The commentators had just finished mentioning that OSU had only lost 5 fumbles all year and then that!

Happy for Day to bring another Championship back to OSU.

This was a special team.

NIL money going to kick in now.

20 mil per team..

WR Jeremiah Smith has been offered a huge deal withiamo.

He's going on that area and QB Carson Beck has transfered there

 

Ohio St has stat d they'll retain him.

Im thinking   6 plus mil per.

 

 

I find it mind boggling that a college WR can make more money in college than a mid-level or practice squad NFL WR. I know Jeremiah Smith can't declare for the draft for 2 more years, but this is ridiculous. If he gets hurt, is OSU still obligated to pay him, or do you buy insurance on him for that issue?

 

I'm not crazy about paying student athletes or this NIL stuff anyway, and this is just payment on steroids especially since OSU is reporting a $37,000,000 deficit in the athletic budget. It used to be that football and basketball funded all of the other sports (supposedly). If this deficit is true, what happens to the other sports (some of which are nationally ranked in their own right, like synchronized swimming, or pistol)?

Do you have a chart on what athletics OSU is losing money on?

I'm sure football carries most sports and basketball 

Is in the black as well..

They're blaming it on reduced football ticket revenues from 2023 since they only had 6 home games. But, they also said that the success in 2024 should cover it.

 

We'll see.

the new College funding limits and NIL potential changes are going to be interesting.. Andrew Brandt did a great podcast on it a week or two ago. 

 

teams can pay from their pocket a limit of 23mil (give or take) a year, thats for ALL sports. so all of the real money must come from NIL. and there are some changes coming to that depending how congress handles that.
