6 Reasons to Become a 12th Warrior

Eleven Warriors is the largest independent college sports site on the internet, and we're dedicated to providing Buckeye fans with up-to-the-minute news, analysis, and humor through an easy-to-use and forever-free platform.

We can't do that without 12th Warriors, an elite cabal of readers that subscribes for $85 a year—less than 24 cents a day.

The reasons to join are clear.

1. $40 DRY GOODS VOUCHER
   Each subscription comes with a $40 voucher to our fabled Dry Goods. Home delivery.
2. PREMIUM LOUNGE ACCESS AND OTHER EXCLUSIVE OPPORTUNITIES
   ​The Premium Lounge is as real as it is amazing. We also give 12th Warriors first crack at new t-shirts and invites to exclusive events wherever the Buckeyes may be playing.
3. BUYING LOCAL
   Eleven Warriors isn't based in Nashville, New York, Washington D.C., or Atlanta like our carpetbagging competitors. Your money stays in Ohio, as Woody Hayes intended.
4. INDEPENDENT SITE
   Our monthly hosting fee is the equivalent of a mortgage payment. We send three reporters to every football game and most basketball games while covering off-season events like combines and drafts, too. That coverage isn't lucrative; it's crucial to our credibility. Unfortunately it's not cheap and we can't rely on the coffers of our corporate overlords to underwrite it.
5. WE'RE NOT A #CONTENT FARM
   ​We pride ourselves on doing things the right way despite existing in the cesspool that is 21st century digital sports journalism. We don't clickbait social media. We don't arrange headlines as questions or optimize for search engines – you won't see “What time does the Ohio State game start?” over here.
6. PAY IT FORWARD
   ​The benefit that will feel best: Helping maintain a free fountain of information that thousands of Buckeye fans, that you will never meet, have come to rely upon.

Join today and become a pillar of a unique and thriving Buckeye community.
