Hand up, I probably did not appreciate him nearly enough while he was here. It’s on me.
Word of the day: Paint.
“It’s going to be a message.” Since everyone involved had more than a year to come up with all this name, image and similar things, I was hoping against all hope that everything would go smoothly if it was time for everything to really expire.
It seems that my optimism has been completely deceived because it turns into another disaster than I could ever imagine, to the point that if something does not happen soon, it will hurt the Buckeyes on the recruiting path.
Meanwhile, states are in a race against each other, a worrying trend for many in university sports who believe chaos will prevail in July. A handful of states will act under stricter and more athletic-friendly NIL laws, while all the others follow the NCAA’s stricter NIL legislation, whenever it passes.
“Some states will have an early lead,” Arizona State coach Herm Edwards said. “It’s going to be a mess.”
This is a ‘catch-22’ for schools in states that will pass the NIL laws, says Bob Bowlsby, commissioner of Big 12.
“It puts the schools in their state in a very difficult situation,” he says. ‘They will violate the NCAA rules at the same time and comply with state laws. It could end up in court at the end of it. ”
…
What if a five-star soccer player, who breaks down between offers from Florida and Ohio State, decides based on NIL opportunities? Ohio lawmakers have yet to propose a NIL bill, while Florida goes into effect July 1st.
“It will be a huge benefit to recruit,” said Todd Berry, executive director of the American Football Coaches Association.
I’m as shocked as you are that something that involves the federal government and the NCAA is not going smoothly.
I would say that it can in no way get to the point where these NIL laws differ from state to state, but honestly, this whole thing has been so badly messed up to this point that nothing would surprise me at all.
I hope the whole football team does not move to Florida!
RYAN DAY’S NEXT VICTIM? Ryan Day bullied Don Brown for three years before the Wolverines had enough and kicked him to the brink (however, it would have been four this year).
Now Michigan is developing a new, radically inexperienced coordinator who looks like a Boy Scout in a Smedium shirt. And he already does not want to talk about the state of Ohio, but wants to focus on ‘what is important now’ – which apparently does not end the drought of eight years in the biggest rivalry in all sports.
‘To be honest, we’re trying to be as good as we can get now. It is a “what is important now” focus, from meeting to meeting, from representative to representative, from practice to practice. All the things in the season are going to take care of themselves and we can not worry about it until we are really good with what we are doing now. So those conversations – I’m going to leave it private to us and our guys. ‘
I do not know how the Michigan men do not understand that the reason Ohio State has been dragging their team through a trail of broken glass for almost two decades is that “what is important now” always beats Michigan.
Meanwhile, their new lease is already out here implying that the game – The Game, mind you – is “going to take care of itself.” The man was asked directly about the state of Ohio and his answer has the expression “we can not worry about it”.
Imagine if the roles were reversed while the Buckeyes stood 1-15 for the past 16 years, and a new Ohio State landlord gave the same answer during his introductory press conference. An angry mob would forcibly remove him from the podium and burn him in effigy.
And that was not even the most striking part of his press conference, because he also bluntly admitted that he was shocked, Michigan even offered him the job in the first place (probably because he had never coordinated a defense). his life, but I just guess).
Mike DC, Michigan DC, speaks to reporters for the first time. “When the event presented itself (in Michigan) for the first time, it honestly was not on my radar,” he says. “I was a little shocked.” As for his coverage philosophy: “We’re going to do everything, honey.”

Congratulations on your new rental, Michigan. To be honest, it can not be much worse. Or can it?
TEENAGERS MAKE SIX DIGITS. Tired: University athletes earn a few thousand dollars from their name, image and figure.
Wired: teens earn six-figure salaries for basketball against other high school students.
They will start a professional basketball league that will offer high school basketball players an alternative to college in preparation for the NBA. Overtime Elite starts in September 2021 and contains 30 of the country’s best prospects of 16-18 years. The athletes receive a guaranteed minimum salary of $ 100,000, in addition to bonuses and equity in the league.
The league’s athletes also have access to health care and disability benefits. If an overtime Elite athlete chooses not to pursue an NBA career, the league will pay them up to $ 100,000 to go to college.
Players participating in Overtime Elite forfeit their qualification to play high school or university basketball when joining the league. The website for Overtime Elite games has yet to be determined, but the league has some big names supporting it.
I will never stand in the way of talented people being paid, but I feel there is a good chance that the founders of this league will drastically overestimate how many people are interested in a basketball league of high school students who have no chance of not to sign. their favorite college team.
But I’m an idiot too, so I’m probably wrong.
40 POINT CLUB. If you score 40 points in a game, you could be a local legend at almost any high school in America. But average 40 points in a game makes you a damn folk hero.
112 40-point seasons have ever been recorded in high school basketball, and two of them come from Buckeyes.
42.39 – Jon Diebler, Upper Sandusky (Ohio)
Year: 2006-07
Game points: 26-1,102
Best games: 69 against Bellevue; 67 opposite Shelby; 60 teen St. Xavier
Note: Diebler became the points leader of all time after a strong senior season with 3 208 points. Go play at the state of Ohio.…
41.95 – Allan Hornyak, St. John’s Central (Bellaire, Ohio)
Year: 1968-69
Game points: 22-923
Best games: 86 versus Warren Consolidated; 73 versus Union Local; 66 teen Bellaire
Note: Hornyak played in the state of Ohio and led the team to its last three seasons.
I’m not sure if I could have scored 40 points if I had played in a 4th class girls’ stretch league, but that definitely says more about me than about Jon Diebler or Allan Hornyak.
