Moderators Blake Munroe Posted January 28 Moderators Share Posted January 28 The Ohio State football program is not afraid of NIL any longer. New AD Ross Bjork made that clear during his introductory press conference. He spent a ton of NIL money while he was at Texas A&M to help its football program get one of the top recruiting classes in the country. https://scarletandgame.com/posts/ohio-state-football-nil-collective-raises-1-million-in-a-week-01hn3vzad7zv 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsip92 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I wonder how much more he “spent” outside of NIL to secure that ‘22 class 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Gilbert Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 The wording, “He (Bjork) spent a ton of NIL money while he was at Texas A&M” is very odd. As I understand it, the school cannot spend NIL money. Or am I reading too much i to it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Eneman Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 tOSU looked at what Michigan was doing under Harbaugh and said, "Let's hire a guy who has no problems raising money to help us buy whoever we want!" They were already strong recruiters, especially at the skill positions, but now they are going to be even stronger with the additional NIL funds. I don't think we have quite as much overlap with them as Bama or Georgia has recently but I fully expect them to start trying to get as many of the top guys that they can from all over. If I were Day and had a massive war chest I'd be blanketing the country with offers for 5*s and then seeing what happens if I can get them on campus.

Will make it all the more sweeter if Texas goes to Columbus 20 months from now a beats them similar to the way they did back in '05. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to be one heck of a game, no doubt about it. Two of the biggest brands, what should be talent filled rosters, etc. That game is going to be huge It’s also hard to believe that (VY and co. beating them on the road) game was nearly 20 years ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
