i mean, not gonna lie, if i was an OSD fan, i'd think this is pretty bad ass. there's really nothing you can say about OSU not being WRU right now...lol.
still....it'll be interesting to see what it looks like in 18 months. while the NIL stuff and proving it, earning etc...sounds great.....and for some, it most certainly will be, i can't imagine that if you're riding the bench in year 2, there's much of a market for ya.
there's really no risk for these kids to go to a place like OSU. if they do great and can get on the field, then that's the goal, right? if not, it's already been made clear there are plenty of suitors in the portal that will gladly take the kid that simply couldn't get on the field at OSD cause it's so top heavy.
either way....there's not a lot of downside for the kid. and it may work out better for you in the portal...................................a la Addision/USCw.
