The Big10 is the deepest BB conference in the country and OSU is no blue blood...few people care anyway.

Well I contribute $10 a month to NIL. Now if a million other Buckeye fans do the same we might have a payroll that approaches the Cleveland Browns'.

Life ain't fair and the world is mean...it's always been. it's unbecoming to moan and cry over something you can't control. Joe Shiesty and company don't need any help from the league.

How many of the commenter here belong to a Buckeye collective and make a monthly contribution to the cause? Just curious.

If you aren't happy with the outstanding result of making the College Football Playoffs, then you're never going to be happy.

Amen Vegas! You win by any means necessary or you don't win.

Baker Mayfield was in beast mode for the Rams last night. Phenomenal performance for the Cleveland reject.

Baker Mayfield looks phenomenal tonight for the Rams.

Largest athletic dept in the world is more concerned with feeding its redundant, overpaid administrators than it is in paying the football players who actually generate the $$$.

Seems OSU NIL collectives are being run by incompetents. Finance experts and law experts need to be running them.

The Athletic department and the University for that matter, is a bloated bureaucracy filled with redundant overpaid administrators. You can do more for your football team by contributing to the collective and skipping ticket buying and merchandise.

BOOM This kid is ranked higher than Burrow, Mahomes, and Josh Allen were at his age...just sayin'.

And that is why upfront NIL money is so important.

Resting the team may be what's behind our 5 game win streak late in the season. I liked what Zac did in the preseason, especially with a 17 game schedule.

The Browns have been more effective against Burrow than any team in the league. They have some badasses beside just Myles Garrett up front.

With The Ohio State huge fanbase, NIL should theoretically be advantageous to the Buckeyes. I guess we all live in trailer parks and collect welfare.

I got down voted into oblivion a few weeks ago for urging Buckeye fans to make a monthly contribution to NIL. Evolve or die.

I think if JSN had stayed healthy this season, Stroud wins it.

Seems the Browns are Burrow's kryptonite for some reason.

You'd better have a lot of those Benjamins if you want a southern recruit to spend winters in Ohio.

The disconnect happened during our first game of the season. The offense was to revolve around JSN - just like it did during the Rose Bowl against Utah. We were snakebitten, much like the year in which we lost Nick Bosa.

We'd better get healthy in a hurry. JSN is a necessity, not a luxury in this game.

Stroud lost his best weapon for the season against ND. The offense was to revolve around JSN this year and we were snakebit again.

You don't lose a player of JSN's talent level for the season and expect to be the same team.

I'd give anything to see a healthy JSN finish his career here with two amazing performances.
