There are folks from the Southeastern part of the country who are growing a little uncomfortable with Ohio State’s recent success in the transfer portal. The commitments of Caleb Downs and Justin Sayin have sparked a wave of finger pointing at Ohio State.
In this episode of the Buckeye Weekly Podcast, Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr discuss this matter and the conversations surrounding Ohio State’s successes over the month of January. Much of that success has been chalked up to NIL by those spewing both ire and irony.
With so much focus on Ohio State, Tom and Tony take a look at where the Buckeyes actually rank in the portal and “overall spending,” and remind people that you cannot buy a championship. It takes more than money to win it all.
The fellas also discuss the ramping up of the concern from around the nation at what Ohio State was able to do in the transfer portal. They also have a conversation about Michigan fans not being happy with Ohio State’s collectives spending money to keep Buckeyes at OSU, despite being champions of such causes at their own university.
All of this, and much, much, much more.
