OSU took days and their insiders said they didn’t want Sayin because they had Noland and didn’t want to upset the QB room. They took days to decide. Sayin reached out to them. Not the other way around

Gonna say this before I listen. OSU did not pay $13 million in NIL for their 6 transfers, nor for all their Guys to come back. The $13 million is from a quote from Ryan Day from last year about how much he thinks it’ll cost on average for them to be able to keep the recruits they get with the new NIL world. Down’s choose OSU over Georgia because he didn’t like Georgia and never has. His family never did. He wanted to go to OSU before he went to Bama and only went for Saban and the defense they had, Knowles hadn’t proven anything with OSU yet. Sayin likes BOB and he liked OSU in high school, he reached out and OSU sat on it for days before deciding to take him. Judkins reached out to Igbinousa who transferred from Ole Miss last year and heard good things, he also wants to lighten his work load before going to the NFL and he can split Carrie’s with Henderson. Howard could be some NIL plus he gets weapons he never even dreamed of at Kansas State plus an open starter spot is available. The TE is a 2/3 Star who was going to Ohio University before so NIL not involved there. The last piece to the 6 transfer guys is Seth, who transferred after Saban retired and he choose OSU quite quickly. OSU does need help on the Oline so he’s almost guaranteed a starter spot and I’m sure he’s getting decent NIL. Now all the returning players were mostly mid round to later picks besides maybe JT and Egbuka and Burkes. They all came together from their recruiting class and decided to come back as a group. It’s the same damn thing Michigan did last year. So again, before I listen to this if I hear any criticism of it from the Michigan fan, he’s a hypocrite and doesn’t know the actual facts. What Lane Kiffin tweeted out was not facts at all and now has spread like wildfire. OSU only has 6 transfers in. They’ve lost way more. And Texas, Texas A&M, Ole Miss, Florida State and others have much bigger transfer classes.

Further, doesn't SMU deserve to be pardoned for the violations that lead to the death penalty the 1980's, with all this stuff going on now and players being paid?

The complaints about Ohio State for taking advantage of the new NIL world is just the beginning. College football as we knew it before is over and within a few years we will see a new division that will be open professionalism instead of it hiding behind NIL.

Overblown. Huge majority of NIL was spent on their EXISTING players. Caleb downs got 900k and he was a coin flip between Alabama and OSU out of HS

Ryan Day said when NIL began, he’d guess it would take spending $12m per year to compete. And I think that’s an underestimate. OSU has one of the richest alumni base and CANNOT lose to michigan again. I expect it to start being closer to $25m/year. And wouldn’t be surprised if it gets closer to $50m/yr. if they don’t just make all the players employees of the universities before NIL gets out of hand. But for now, it is what it is. SEC has been playing players for over ten years with cash in a napsack lol Just think about it, BIG10 tv rights are over $100m per team. And only gonna get bigger adding these 4 new teams. Maybe these athletic departments need to invest rather than ask fans or lining their pockets. ps. the big10 NEEDS to snatch up FSU(and try for Notre Dame) to truly maximize the next, who knows, $20 BILLION tv deal

Harbaugh knew the rules on when he should or should not talk to players during Covind and he paid no attention to them

Now you guys care about “where are the rules” that is hilarious.

Needs to be a limit so everyone is on a even playing field

SILLY....then the limit would be ZERO, since 90% of college programs don't want to spend a dime on NIL....THINK.......about it

Even as an OSU fan I am not sure how much I like the NIL situation. I definitely want players to get a fair share of the value they bring to these campuses, to the fans, and all the money they bring to the universities -- as it relates to football. But the Supreme Court opened a can of worms with their support for NIL. There are not many rules in place and some schools can just spend more. Ohio State is not the only school that has big donors that can spend. So does Michigan. We've seen what Texas A&M can do but that first attempt backfired on them with so many of those recruits not panning out or transferring out. But A&M and U.T. Austin will be able to spend a ton if they feel they have to get into the arms race. USC has massive donors. Heck, if Harvard University really wanted to they could outspend everyone and recruit so many top-level players to deals that might make the NFL blush. At some point there will have to be some rules in place.

People that were ACTUALLY in the know knew that OSU was very much in contention for Caleb Downs even without the NIL. He literally only picked Bama over Buckeyes because of questions about how good OSUs defense was. Turns out pretty Fing good, so why would Georgia suddenly be the frontrunner just because they hired his position coach?

They should give a bulk of the money to the kids after they graduate and provide a stipend during their college career. Also setting these kids up with a 401K type of structure so they can reap the benefits throughout their life.

No, they are US citizens and should be able to capitalize on their own name, image and likeness. I do know that Ohio State has financial advisors for the players, right in their facility.

That would be against the law in a Capitalist country. NO ONE can tell anyone how or went to spend their money. You sound like a Communist

Richie knows OSU said ok you cheated to win we won't cheat but we have more money than any program but AM well we will spend money to get what we need. And your whole OL was transfers SFB

It's all about the MONEY.

Rich is really worried about his Michigan team. A big Michigan fan asking, “where are the rules?” That’s rich.

When did rules matter to Jim Harbaugh?

I forgot Rich is a Michigan alumni......

We got a great shot at scoring a td next time against Missouri. Go Buck$.

Says the guy from little m LOLOL

Why shouldnt the players share in the money that the school, coaches and ncaa make off of them. Rosen is acting as if these players don’t already have agents when they go to college , they have compliance departments at some of these schools as well that goes through nil

the last thing any other school should want is to start throwing dollars with columbus. don't care who you are, you don't have it like they do. i'm so excited for the reality michigan is about to face. your second tier program that can only peak occasionally is about to come crashing down so hard

Well, this is just great! The NFL killed my love for Pro Football, and now the NIL has just about killed my first love which was College Football. Anyone know what Network is broadcasting the upcoming season of Pickleball??

Impressed that Bruce Feldman refused to commit to a number that he couldn't independently confirm, despite Rich Eisen's repeated efforts to pin him down.

College football has entered the days of buying a championship,it should be really good for the sport.

yu are the sad story

The OSU was 2nd on CALEB Downs list. Nick leaves Alabama and he transfers that’s not shocking. OSU recruiting has always been a National Program. Get your paper up ttun

If your team can't beat them, buy the team that might.

@@taxisquad11 OSU hasnt't been able to beat Michigan in years. Michigan just won the natty in the NIL era, has OSU?

Funny how as soon as Ohio State has some success in the NIL world everyone all the sudden wants to tear it down.

None of this is new. In the 70’s players were given cars, apartments paid, monthly allowances, and the top flight players given pieces of local businesses like Coca Cola.

Michigan should hire Moore.

Funny when everyone else, including Michigan, spends money, then it's not a big deal, but when OSU does it better than all of a sudden there is a problem. Michigan had a stay fund to keep guys from leaving. Why you think most came back this year?

Underperformed team firewall? Crack me up. Michigan can't handle the fact that OSU will obliterate them once again (Harbaugh couldn't beat them until Connor Stallions showed up). Everyone is paying players, legally at this point.

You know every single college is spending

This is becoming insane....next a college salary CAP. Silly

Buying a National Championship is exactly what this University must do to stay relevant. It's very sad

It will make UM beating them a fourth year in row even better. I bet they fire Day at Halftime.

They have great players coaching is the issue

Michigan has more money in NIL than OSU, according to “Michigan Men”

OH , the reality is they have all been doing itn

To be fair Jim didn’t follow the rules at Michigan… Congrats on the Natty, but Day & the staff had to kick it up a notch & appeared to be doing so

Are people ever going to realize how incredibly stupid this is? Academic institutions are fielding professional sports teams and for what???

Why oh why must Mr. Predictable and Boring Feldman have a constant presence on your show?
