No excitement or interest whatsoever, till the ink is dry? I guess you're a prenup kind of guy, that sees everything in black and white. I consider myself a pretty good judge of character and the recruits that bounce around to the highest bidders, I don't want on my team. Quinn Ewers had that written all over him from day one. Others project a sincere desire to be a Buckeye, with no qualms and Dylan Raiola possesses those qualities. Zero interest and quite frankly I don’t care until they actually get on the field. A big time recruit can flop just as easily as produce. Also neither my wife or myself ever brought up a pre-nup.

Usually it's a wise thing to do later in life, after a divorce or a spouse has died and a second marriage occurs. Each party wanting THEIR assets to pass to their children/relatives and not the spouse in the 2nd marriage. Best to get that done BEFORE the wedding day of the 2nd marriage.

You captured my exact thoughts! I recently lost my life long companion and loving wife. Lots of lovely and eligible ladies to gain my interest down here in Florida, most of whom are independently wealthy, but I have no interest in ever remarrying, but if I did, my mindset would be a prenup, for sure. My priorities remain with my kids.

Sportsjock, my deepest condolences. Likely the most difficult loss one can ever go through and I feel for you. You are spot on, my friemd. I have immersed myself in as many activities as I possibly can, to stay busy and occupied, to counter my grief. Of course, sports is one of them and I find myself chairing several committees, as well as administrating a sizable face-book group. Thank you for your kind words.

With the changes in position coaching this year, I expect an upgrade of the team performance this fall. I think we have some great, new coaches that have proven track records, but I'm a bit concerned that we will be able to match the high level of recruiting, we have come to expect in the past. The OL is my main concern. We have seen a long list of best of the best 5* down lineman opt for the Buckeyes under Stud, but the recruits they are making contact these days are mostly 3* players that we are in the conversation with. The other areas are LB's and RB's. Hope the picture changes in the coming months and my concerns are proven wrong.

It’s all about the Benjamin’s and Ohio State’s compliance department (Douche Archie) isn’t allowing them to throw money around like Texas A&M

You're COMPLETLY confused. Neither Ohio State or Texas A&M are throwing around money. It's boosters who are doing the throwing WITHOUT the auspices of the University. Billionaire oil boosters in Texas know who the 5-star players in Texas and elsewhere that A&M is recruiting, by reading fan sites in Texas like 11warriors in Ohio. They get on the phone to these recruits and tell them if they sign with A&M, they'll write them a check for $1 million. Billionaires in Ohio are not as dirty as billionaire oilmen.

Saban had the balls to tell it like it is and there are a dozens of other coaches thinking the same thing, but keeping silent. What a monster NIL has become. Don't think the NCAA had a clue how quickly this thing would escalate to the magnitude it has become. No control or leadership coming from the NCAA heirarchy and college football is about to be gutted by the unscrupulous element that used to hide in the shadows.

It used to be a millionaire, that's pocket change now.

I guess so.
I agree with your premise, but also know being a billionaire doesn't grow on trees and didn't think our Podunk State had any. Maybe that was my mistake...... thinking

I fully expect the Power Five conferences to take the initiative and establish their own governorship, divorcing themselves from the NCAA. Although NIL had all the good intentions and the concept was the right thing to do at the time, it has evolved to the point of putting college football as we have long known and loved, in great jeopardy.
There is a great need to set parameters and guidelines that should have been in place from the onset. What has been created is free agency, where the power is controlled by the most wealthy, demographically. The NCAA is not getting it done, a new Power Five alliance will fill that tremendous void and perhaps, save college football as we know it.

Are there 100 business in Columbus willing to come up with $130,000 per year, EVERY year? Knowing that the inflation rate for the salaries of top athletes is FAR greater than that of the general inflation rate

And while they're at it, have a REAL 8 or more team playoff!!

Isn't it ironic, the same schools that came within a sliver of getting the death penalty, for major recruiting violations (Texas A&M, SMU) are once again, testing the limits. SMU had their season suspended in 1987 and A&M conducted their nefarious activities in the early 90's and somehow skirted a deserved 'death penalty'. Seems nothing was learned from that scandal and big money always rules over common sense and decency. If I was the NCAA, I would put U. of Texas and TCU under scrutiny as well. I would guess, TCU may be the only clean program of the bunch.

I would like to see the winning design again. I remember it to be quite different than this traditional rendering. One small detail that most of us didn't pick up on, with the promo contest.....there was no promise or guarantee it would ever be implemented...and it wasn't. So, what was the actual point/purpose of the contest?

After going back and reading the initial contest the only prize was helping design the field.

I'm very happy with the neat, clean traditional design. Sometimes change, just for the sake of change, is not a good thing.
