Every era of college football takes heart and innovation on the part of both the University and fan base in order to succeed. OSU has been one of the most consistent organizations in the history of college football. With NIL and the transfer portal ramping up in intensity, we need to be proactive to stay on top.
Joel puts forward the idea that teams who want to be elite in this emerging era basically need to become an NFL team with our management and scouting departments.
What do you guys think about this next evolution of the sport, especially with guys like Gene Smith openly vying to build up NIL collectives for the Buckeyes?
Who would you like to see in the position of GM for the football team if we go that route? Should we have a coach like Larry Johnson "retire" to the position of GM when he decides he doesn't have the energy to coach anymore or should we go with a more business oriented professional?
How many other OSU sports will need major adaptation in the coming years?
