Fundraising on the rise; OSU ranks 19th in national survey OWEN DAUGHERTY Assistant Campus Editor daugherty.260@osu.edu Ohio State ranked 19th out of all colleges and universities for charitable giving in 2017, garnering $403 million, according to data released last week from a national survey. The university ranked 21st in each of the past three years. The university benefited from a swell in overall fundraising, with schools across the country raising a record $43.6 billion in 2017, a 6.3 percent increase from the previous year and the most since the survey began in 1957. The fundraising efforts from Ohio State were bolstered by its record-breaking “But For Ohio State” campaign, which ended in September 2016 and raised more than $3 billion in seven years. Lisa MacDonald, president of the Benefactor Group, a consulting firm for nonprofit fundraising campaigns based in Columbus, said specific fundraising campaigns tend to inspire donors to

Ohio State joins new University Climate Change Coalition to reduce carbon footprint JAKE RAHE Senior Lantern reporter rahe.21@osu.edu Ohio State is aiming to make a local impact on the global problem of climate change by joining the newly created University Climate Change Coalition (UC3). UC3 is a group of 13 North American research universities that will work together with their respective communities to achieve climate goals and push
for a “low-carbon future.” Every member of UC3 has pledged to reduce their institutional carbon footprints in many ways, like making climate-friendly investments to becoming carbon-neutral. The university’s membership in UC3 furthers its climate-change mission that was already in place through its strategic sustainability goals, which were established in 2015. In three years, Ohio State has reduced its emissions by al-
most 5 percent, according to the press release announcing the university’s participation in the coalition. “Ohio State is deeply committed to reducing our carbon footprint and promoting energy efficiency,” University President Michael Drake said in the release. “Our participation in UC3 significantly advances several longterm sustainability goals, including the university’s commitment COALITION CONTINUES ON 2
Physical education program to be phased out by 2022 ALEXANDRIA KING Lantern reporter king.2233@osu.edu The physical education teacher education program will no longer be available for students come 2022. Erik Porfeli, the chair of the Department of Human Sciences, released a memo detailing the decision Jan. 24. “Evolving trends in education require continual examination of our academic programs,” Porfeli said in the memo. “Over the next four years, this program will be phased out as our current students complete the program in 2022.” Don Cain, the physical education, health and dance coordinator at Columbus City Schools, was unaware of the recent decision and saddened by the news. “As a graduate, it makes me feel sad since OSU helped prepare me to be a quality physical educator,” Cain said in an email. “We have a lot of OSU graduates that are [physical education] teachers in Columbus City Schools that probably feel the same way that I do.” Faculty members in the College of Education and Human Ecology declined to comment on the ma-

In four years, Ohio State will eradicate its physical education teacher education program due to “evolving trends” in education, according to Erik Porfeli, the chair of the Department of Human Sciences. jor’s termination. The state of Ohio requires a bachelor’s degree and licensure to teach physical education. Ohio State isn’t the first school in the state to cut its undergraduate physical education major. Capital University last offered
the program during the 2013-14 academic year, according to archived bulletins. Ohio Wesleyan University stopped including the major in its course catalog during the 2014-15 academic year. “Personally, I believe that it’s just a reflection of our society on
the importance of physical activity [and] physical education [versus] other content areas,” Cain said. Jonathan Rawley, a third-year in physical education teacher education, expressed his concerns as well.
“It’s never reassuring when you’re almost to graduation and your major will be phased out,” Rawley said. “Students in the major all know that we have to fight to keep physical education relevant in districts everywhere.” He said physical education goes beyond what many think it is: a fun gym class for children. “Physical education is more than kicking a ball around or playing dodgeball. It’s teaching kids how to live a healthy lifestyle and giving opportunities to kids to experience many different sports and the culture that comes with those sports,” Rawley said. “It’s creating a level playing field for all students to experience the value of physical education.” Ohio State graduate programs, as well as the master’s and doctoral degrees, are unaffected and a master of sport coaching degree program will begin Autumn 2018. Though the imminent demise of the physical education program is on the horizon, the end of the program might not be concrete — if it’s up to those currently enrolled. “The future of physical education will always be something to fight for,” Rawley said.

Researchers create ‘brain pacemaker’ technology to slow Alzheimer’s effects MICHAEL LEE Lantern reporter lee.7240@osu.edu
Tom Moore always said his wife has had Alzheimer’s disease longer than anyone he has known. Though it might sound negative, it’s from a place of love. “It means LaVonne is still here while other people we knew with Alzheimer’s, they’re gone, and LaVonne is still hanging on, for which we’re very glad,” said Tom Moore, 89, of Delaware, Ohio. One of the reasons LaVonne Moore, 85, has been so successful in fighting the disease is a “brain pacemaker” developed by researchers from Ohio State’s Wexner Medical Center. After LaVonne Moore received the implant, she underwent several physical, speech and occupational therapies — which is when Tom Moore noticed a change. “It was that time when we saw the first improvement in LaVonne when she was able to do things she hadn’t been able to or wasn’t wanting to do before,” which included baking brownies, he said. The brain pacemaker was developed to slow the acceleration of Alzheimer’s disease. It works similar to a heart pacemaker, in that the brain is wired to a battery that sends electrical impulses to the brain, similar to a pacemaker for a heart, said Douglas Scharre, a neurologist at the medical center who authored a recent study on brain pacemakers and its effects. Scharre said the implant was already be-

The differences between Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s made adapting the implant to Alzheimer’s treatment difficult, Scharre said, because Alzheimer’s affects more widespread areas of the brain. He said Alzheimer’s disrupts memory circuits, whereas “Parkinson’s is one little tiny area of the brain that controls these

The university’s record-breaking But For Ohio State campaign ended in September 2016 and raised more than $3 billion in seven years, helping Ohio State secure 19th out of all colleges and universities across the U.S. for charitable giving for the 2017 fiscal year. ing for higher education has declined over the years, the importance of philanthropic funding has increased. “Philanthropy can provide a margin of excellence in academic programs, assure access to a college education for those who couldn’t otherwise afford it, attract world-class faculty and researchers, etc.,” she said in an email. “That is to say — government dollars open the door, philanthropic dollars make it meaningful to enter the academy.” In general, Ohio State bucked national trends found in the survey in two areas: individual and corporate contributions. While personal giving drove the in-
motor controls, so it’s easy to target.” Since studies showed physical and mental activity slow the decline of Alzheimer’s patients, Scharre said the researchers decided to artificially stimulate the front part of the brain, instead of one specific part. “The purpose there was to try to help ameliorate the symptoms of executive abilities of patients,” he said. “Those are things like problem solving, decision making, focusing your attention, judgments, organization, planning.” Even so, the implant is not a cure, he said. “It wasn’t really the thought that we would help with the progressive course of the disease, but maybe help the symptoms
of the disease, and perhaps slow down the disease,” Scharre said. Though LaVonne Moore made some improvements, like regaining the ability to bake, her memory with the implant still declined, Tom Moore said. “Right now, her memory is not very good in the least bit,” he said. “I talk about a 30-second memory, for example.” This 30-second memory is as if a person woke up and did not know who they were, where they were, what day it was or who the other person in bed with them was, Tom Moore said. “You become isolated because you’re fearful of whatever the rest of the world is,” he said. Still, the implant, Tom Moore said, has allowed him and LaVonne to grow closer together. “[Growing closer was] through necessity you might say, but still emotionally. It’s a love of compassion rather than a love of passion,” Tom Moore said. “ We’re just hoping somehow we’ll find a cure for [Alzheimer’s].” Although the implant is not a cure, Scharre hopes the technology can be a step in the right direction to find a cure or a better treatment for the disease. “It’s a combined approach. I think in the future we’re going to have people on four, five different treatments for Alzheimer’s,” said Scharre, who also compared it to how people use multiple medications to treat diseases such as diabetes. “We want everyone to keep looking for cures and disease modifying agents.”
crease across the United States, Ohio State saw its biggest spike from corporate donors. From July 1 through the end of 2017, Ohio State’s fundraising from corporations increased by 40 percent from the same time period in 2016, according to documents provided to the Board of Trustees. However, at Ohio State, individual contributions were down, with decreases from both alumni and non-alumni. Alumni gave 13 percent less than the previous year’s time frame and non-alumni gave 6 percent less, culminating in 10 percent total drop from individual FUNDRAISING CONTINUES ON 3
to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. As a flagship public research university, we are leveraging our resources to explore cleaner energy sources and solve sustainability challenges in Ohio and around the world.” Drake has said the university’s goals include making campus more efficient by lowering energy consumption by 25 percent by the year 2025. Ohio State Energy Partners, the entity created when the university privatized its energy systems for more than $1 billion with French energy producer Engie, will begin installing LED lights in 51 campus buildings as part of its first phase of conservation efforts. The buildings include Ohio Stadium, Independence Hall and University Hall, among others. The long-term plan is to modernize and improve all 485 buildings on campus. Ohio State was invited to join the coalition because it is one of the largest research universities in the country, said Gina Langen, a spokeswoman for the Office of Energy and Environment at Ohio State. The major goals of the coalition are to continue to do the “outstanding” climate research that is already being done at the universities, while also spreading awareness to local communities, Langen said.
“I think there are ways that all of these universities can look at their particular problems, then come together and really lay out some methods for protecting all of us from the problems with climate change,” Langen said.
“Ohio State is deeply committed to reducing our carbon footprint and promoting energy efficiency.” Michael Drake University President
For instance, Ohio State, with a student body of more than 60,000 on campus, strives to find alternatives to simply throwing away trash or adding to landfills by incorporating recycling initiatives in order to become a zero-waste campus. Two of the biggest ways Ohio State sees itself playing a role in the coalition is with its research at the Center for Automotive Research and the Byrd Polar and Climate Research Center, Langen said. Ohio State also will hold events to highlight its dedication to climate change. “The areas where people have taken notice are in transportation,” she said. “Certainly, we do
a lot of alternative transportation studies at the Center for Automotive Research. The Byrd Polar and Climate Research Center on West Campus is internationally known for its climate change research as well as its ice core sampling that has been going on for 50 years. Those are the two that spring to the top, but we have many laboratories that are doing very impressive climate change research.” Ohio State is planning a twoday climate-change awareness event on May 18 that will showcase new research and feature a community technology and science festival on Ohio State’s West Campus. Also, a coalition-wide report of the best practices, policies and recommendations from all participating universities is planned to be released in late 2018.

donors, according to the documents made available to the Board. Events such as Ohio State’s campus-wide day of giving, which took place for the first time on Valentine’s Day last year, drum up individual support. Ohio State spokesman Ben Johnson said the first installment of the event brought in nearly $3.5 million. MacDonald said attracting and retaining individual donors is an indicator of the overall health of a fundraising program. The day of giving is part of Ohio State’s wider efforts under the #BuckeyeLove campaign. The hashtag is equal parts pay-it-forward as it is fundraising, and Johnson said the 36-hour event will take place again this year, beginning Feb. 28. Additionally, endowment values increased 9 per-
cent across the board due to a strong stock market throughout the year, according to the survey. Ohio State saw its endowment grow as well, thanks to an influx of cash from privatizing its energy systems. The almost 19 percent spike by Ohio State’s endowment was the highest of any institutions with endowments over a billion dollars, according to The NonProfit Times. The university’s endowment crossed the $5 billion threshold for the first time ever in October, shortly after the energy deal was finalized, according to Board documents from November.

ANTI-VALENTINE Musician’s Collective offers up alternative Valentine’s Day plans at Kafe Kerouac weekend show. | ON PAGE 5 SHANTI LERNER Lantern reporter lerner.66@osu.edu Andrew Sauder recently drove to an ALDI grocery store 20 minutes from campus on a chilly Wednesday night. He parked his car with the trunk facing the dumpster and climbed into the trash where he began his search for free groceries. Student by day and dumpster diver by night, Sauder aids his weekly grocery supply and cuts down on his waste by dumpster diving. Saunder’s weekly routes take him to dumpsters located near stores such as ALDI, CVS and Kroger. A legal activity in Ohio, and many other states, dumpster diving entails digging inside public dumpsters to find edible food thrown out by grocery stores and restaurants. The contents of a dumpster might seem like trash to some, but to Sauder the wasted food he finds is a more pressing concern. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, the United States wastes more than $160 billion in food each year, and this number is projected to continue growing if no action is taken. Sauder, a third-year in international development, has been dumpster diving for five years, and not just to save money. He is trying, on a personal level at least, to address the issue of food waste. The food that he finds has either passed the sell-by date, or has slight or unnoticeable damages. Sauder said all of the discarded food he collects is completely safe to eat. “In a big picture it is redeeming food

And in America, there should be ways to re-allocate or donate food.” To outsiders, the diving culture is often associated with a stigma of being unsanitary and something only people who are homeless do. But Sauder’s weekly food runs through the trash are just a part of his lifestyle. Sauder typically dumpster dives once a

week either on a Friday or Saturday night using a route of three or four grocery stores across Columbus. He usually goes to ALDI and CVS because their dumpsters are open to the public. “They [ALDI] are super efficient with their employees and how they staff the store,” Sauder said. “They usually have only two employees at a time, and so they don’t have time to go open a bag and take a bad apple out and re-package it. So they just throw the whole thing away. That’s where I come in and I have five apples and take the bad one out, and I have my fruit
“I think the stigma isn’t terribly well thought through sometimes, because our food touches disgusting things all the time,” said Brittany Kuepfer, a third-year education major at Columbus State, and a friend of Sauder’s who doesn’t dive but regularly shares his findings. “They touch employees’ hands and a lot of the food he brings back is produce so it has peelings that you can peel and wash, the same way you get it from a grocery store. I don’t find that disgusting.” At the end of his dive that recent Wednesday, Sauder had collected a variety of groceries he valued at more than $100 –– most of the items consisting of fresh fruits and vegetables. “I eat healthier because of dumpster diving,” Sauder said. “The overwhelming majority of the stuff we found in the dumpster was fresh fruits and vegetables. Also, we’ve gotten many clothes and perfect condition bikes from dumpsters as well.”

Musician’s Collective stands in solidarity with singles
COURTESY OF MUSICIAN’S COLLECTIVE
The Busy Nothings perform at Kafe Kerouac during the Musician’s Collective and Music & Entertainment Industry Student Association event for Halloween in 2016. EMMA STEELE Senior Lantern reporter steele.819@osu.edu For those who plan to bingewatch Netflix and eat discounted chocolate this Valentine’s Day weekend, the Musician’s Collective at Ohio State is offering an alternative at Kafe Kerouac on Friday.
Musicians’ Collective president Sonny Davis, a third-year in arts management, said the idea originated when she remembered it was something she had seen completed before at Ohio State. “Last semester we had nothing planned for (this time), so we sat down and brainstormed what kind of show we wanted to have,” Davis said. “I remembered there was
one of these anti-Valentine shows at some point in my college career so we decided to bring it back and do it again.” Despite the event’s name, the night will be more centered on loud music and fun than on bashing the love culture that surrounds the holiday. Anson Bryant, a second-year in city and regional planning and the group’s vice
president, said the performing bands won’t necessarily sound stereotypically emo or sing anti-love songs, either. “We left it open-ended in terms of artists, [because that’s] a big thing about our club in general,” Bryant said. “We don’t like to profile artists by telling them what songs or genre to play. We want artists to do what they’re good at by exemplifying their own skills and artistic values.” The show features six acts — Sleezy Dre, Habiteur, Overhang, Attic Toads, and Lights Go Out — all of which feature at least one Musicians’ Collective member or Ohio State student. Bryant said this was a deliberate choice when crafting the lineup. “[Student musicians] come to college to express themselves, but don’t have time to go find shows to play,” Bryant said. “We give them the tools to perform that they might not have if they tried to go solo.” Bryant plays guitar for Overhang and said he is excited to play some original songs. “We’re a rock duo and a lot of people get skeptical, but we play straight up emo rock, so we are going to be suited for the night,” Bryant said. “Even though we’re
only two people we’re definitely going to be one of the loudest bands there.”
“Being able to come relax, be yourself, and enjoy loud music, doesn’t happen so much on campus.” Sonny Davis Musician’s Collective president
While she won’t be performing, Davis said she’s excited for the noise and energy of the night. “The best part is being in a tight group at Kafe Kerouac and getting rowdy with people to good music,” Davis said. “It goes back to the whole community goal of Musicians’ Collective. [We are] trying to create a music community for Ohio State students who can’t find it being stuck on campus all the time. Because stuff like this, being able to come relax, be yourself, and enjoy loud music, doesn’t happen so much on campus.” The event will take place at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Kafe Kerouac, 2250 N. High St. Admission is free, but a $5 donation is suggested.
Valentine’s Day for vegans
Columbus plant-based treats for your sweetie
OLIVIA BALCERZAK | SENIOR LANTERN REPORTER
A variety of vegan Valentine’s Day-themed desserts at Pattycake Bakery in Clintonville. OLIVIA BALCERZAK Senior Lantern reporter balcerzak.13@osu.edu Valentine’s Day is coming up soon, but as raw and vegan diets become more common, the average box of chocolates might not cut it with your special someone. Luckily, if your valentine is following a special diet, there are several ways to still give the same sweet treats that are plant-based and convenient. Here are a few places to choose from: The South Side: University District and Downtown If you’re looking for a new scene this Valentine’s Day, head down to the Short North or stick close to campus. While this area offers several food and dessert options, among those are a couple of vegan options for you to choose from. The Angry Baker: 247 King Avenue Located on King Avenue, the nearby coffee shop serves several espresso-based drink options, and also offers baked goods with vegan options including doughnuts, cookies and muffins. If you’re hungry for something more substantial than just desserts, attached to the cafe is the restaurant that offers plant-based options, with more than half of the menu labeled with a green leaf for vegan. Since the bakery and restaurant are separated, the downside of The Angry Baker is that the open and closing times of each are fairly inconsistent with what is advertised.
OLIVIA BALCERZAK | SENIOR LANTERN REPORTER
Destination Donuts creates an assortment of vegan-friendly doughnuts. Be careful, though, as the flavors rotate seasonally.
There have been some times that the bakery has said it was open and was not. For the King Avenue location, the cafe is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday and Monday. The North Market: 59 Spruce Street The go-to for any dietary-restricted or picky eater has to be the North Market. It offers a host of vendors, so just about anyone can find something that fits their diet or craving, including vegans. Destination Donuts has several distinctly flavored doughnuts that are all locally sourced, such as triple berry cardamom, mojito and maple sausage. On top of that, it offers a vegan-glazed doughnut that tastes just like a dairybased doughnut—maybe even better. If you’re looking for a great doughnut that’s good for the environment and supports a local business, go to Destination Donuts. Another great place for vegan options in the North Market is Brezel, a Bulgarian pretzel shop. Both the original-flavored and everything-flavored pretzels are vegan, as are the marinara, mustard and peanut butter dipping sauces. The North Side: Clintonville Clintonville loves vegans, and seeing as it is just down High Street in walking distance from the University District, vegans can love Clintonville back. Here are just a couple of well-known vegan bakeries and restaurants.
Pattycake Bakery 3009 N. High Street Pattycake is the king of all things vegan. This all-vegan bakery offers whoopie pies, muffins, cookies, cupcakes and full cakes, all of which are 100 percent organic and many that are also gluten-free. The minimal parking and small space make it hard to enjoy Pattycake in-store, but for a dessert that makes you question all the other dairybased desserts you have ever had, this is a small price to pay. If you can’t make it into the shop, Pattycake also sells its cookies and muffins at several places across Columbus, including Roaming Goat Coffee and Stauf’s Coffee Roasters. Portia’s Café 4427 Indianola Ave Portia’s is known for being environmentally friendly and as one of the top vegan cafes with raw, organic and gluten-free options available. But if you just go for the desserts, you will not be disappointed. From menu items like “cheezecake” offering a wide variety of fruit flavors that is 85 percent raw, to a chocolate mousse made from raw cocoa and avocado to simple cookies and parfaits all at a reasonable price, it is hard not to love Portia’s. The major downside is the parking, and available seating at Portia’s is very limited. However, if you do manage to get a seat, you can enjoy a meal that is all vegan.

Katie Smith selected as 2018 inductee into Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame JACOB MYERS Managing Editor for Content myers.1669@osu.edu
COURTESY OF OHIO STATE ATHLETICS
Former Ohio State shooting guard Katie Smith is a threetime Olympic gold medalist and set the record for points scored by either a man or woman in the Big Ten during her four-season collegiate career from 1992 to 1996.
Former Ohio State great Katie Smith will be a member of the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame’s 2018 class. She, along with six other former players and coaches, were announced as this year’s inductees during halftime of Monday’s Louisville-Connecticut game after being named finalists in January. Smith is the first member of the hall of fame from Ohio State. Smith played for the Buckeyes from 1992 to 1996, graduating as both the program’s and conference’s all-time leading scorer. During her years with Ohio State, she was a two-time All-American and won Big Ten Player of the Year her senior year. She averaged 18.1 points per game her freshman year when Ohio State finished its best year in program history as national runner-up. Smith was inducted into the Ohio State Athletics Hall of Fame in 2001. “Unbelievable player, one of the best to ever do it. One of the
great competitors,” Ohio State head coach Kevin McGuff said. “You watch her play, she’s so competitive. I think that’s what really separated her from a lot of people throughout the history of the game. [She] means a lot to women’s basketball, but is unbelievably impactful to Ohio State.” Smith played 15 seasons in the WNBA, winning two championships and becoming one of the league’s top all-time scorers. Smith currently ranks fifth alltime scoring with 6,452 points. She also won three Olympic gold medals. After retiring in 2013, Smith became an assistant coach for former Detroit Pistons center Bill Laimbeer with the WNBA’s New York Liberty. She was promoted to head coach this past offseason. Smith will have a homecoming a sorts when she and the rest of the 2018 hall of fame class are introduced during the Final Four at Nationwide Arena, which takes place March 30 through April 1.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL
Ohio State hopes to right ship against woeful Illinois COLIN HASS-HILL Sports Editor hass-hill.1@osu.edu It seemed like the No. 16 Ohio State women’s basketball team had righted a sinking ship. After dropping three games in a row to No. 23 Michigan, No. 10 Maryland and Iowa, the Buckeyes responded with four straight victories in which they held opponents to fewer than 68 points. Redshirt senior guard Linnae Harper said the team used the losing streak as motivation and it showed in the past four games. But the only thing that showed during Ohio State’s game against South Florida Sunday afternoon was an overmatched Buckeye team getting beat in every phase of the game, resulting in an 84-65 loss. Ohio State (20-6, 9-3 Big Ten) has a prime chance to bounce back facing Illinois (9-17, 0-12 Big Ten), the lowest-ranked team in the Big Ten, at 8 p.m. Tuesday in Champaign, Illinois. Scouting Illinois Simply put, Ohio State should crush Illinois. The Illini have not lost a conference game by fewer than eight points and do nothing that will scare Ohio State. Illinois has a minus-9.7 scoring margin, the worst in the Big Ten and 5.5 points worse than the second-lowest scoring margin. Opponents have a better shooting percentage from 3-point range (38.2) than the Illini have from the field (37.9 percent). That will pose a problem Tuesday night since the Buckeyes shoot more 3-pointers than any other team in the Big Ten. Four Ohio State guards — Asia Doss, Kelsey Mitchell, Linnae Harper and Sierra Calhoun — average at least 3.4 3-point attempts per game, and Mitchell broke the NCAA record for most career 3s attempted last game. Sophomore guard Brandi Beasley and sophomore forward Alex Wittinger have been the most consistent producers for Illinois. They are their team’s only two players who average more than 10 points per game. No one else scores more than seven points per game. But neither player should do much damage against Ohio State. Wittinger will need a big game for her team to hang with the Buckeyes, but she has scored at least 20 points just four times this season. Beasley shoots just 35.8 percent from the field and 25 percent from beyond the arc. Though Ohio State should easily leave Champaign, Illinois, with a victory against

“The good thing about it is we still have a lot of basketball to play and we still have a good chance to turn it around.” Linnae Harper Redshirt senior guard
game, South Florida outrebounded Ohio State by 20. “Bad defense and rebounding for us usually run together. You’ll see us over-helping, which means we’re not blocking out,” Ohio State head coach Kevin McGuff said. “When we’re bad defensively, we’re usually bad on the boards as well because it usually means we’re not matched up with the right people.” Illinois has somehow struggled more on the boards. The Buckeyes average 0.2 more rebounds per game than their opponents, while the Illini average a 2.6-rebounding
deficit, tied for last in the conference. Cinderella story? At the beginning of the year, Ohio State had Final Four dreams. Those aspirations have since taken a massive hit given its four losses in the past eight games. The dreams seem so far-fetched that Harper believes the team is seen as more of an outside contender “The good thing about it is we still have a lot of basketball to play and we still have a good chance to turn it around,” Harper said. “We can use it as motivation for our next game and try to come together as a team and hopefully make it a Cinderella story or something like that.” If anything, a team destined to be the subject of a Cinderella story certainly would have seemed to be the Ohio State men’s basketball team. But instead, the women’s team is searching for answers. As McGuff has said in the past, Ohio State just needs to get hot at the right time. But the slipper becomes a looser fit with each passing loss.

FELTNER FROM 8
pitched strictly in relief, allowing him to use his dominant stuff in shorter appearances. Baseball America national college baseball writer Teddy Cahill said Feltner’s stuff overwhelmed hitters and that the shorter stints allowed him to throw harder with better location. “I heard he was up to 97 [mph] from scouts and was throwing his fastball 93 to 97. He has a really good split-changeup and I guess that was working pretty well for him too,” Cahill said. “They just weren’t hitting him up there and I think a lot of people that saw him there and then looked at his numbers from the spring were a little confused as to maybe what had changed.” Cahill added that Feltner is projected to fall somewhere in the fourth or fifth round of the 2018 MLB draft, but that a lot of his draft stock will be determined by what happens this season. Feltner will not be a closer this year. He is Ohio State’s most talented pitcher and head coach Greg Beals has already an-
nounced he will become the ace. Beals said the big difference for Feltner this year — and the reason a pitcher with a career 5.14 ERA will open the season as the team’s Friday night starter — is the combination of Feltner’s improved secondary offerings and self-confidence that should give him what he needs to take the ball in the team’s toughest matchups. “Ryan has always shown flashes of brilliance, but it just hasn’t been there as consistent as we’d like,” Beals said. “This is it. He’s now in the marquee in his college career and we’re trying to give him every opportunity for that to shine this year.” Beals knows a move like this could build Feltner into a potential first-round talent. Success out of the bullpen is one thing. But if Feltner can translate the Cape Cod success to the rotation, he could go on the first day of the draft instead of the third, like he did in 2015. Outside of a potential matchup against Oregon State second baseman Nick Madrigal in the Big Ten/Pac-12 Challenge, Felt-
“It can be a grind at times. I mean I think it’s all worth it. Everybody’s dream is to get to the big leagues and it’s not really going to be too much fun until you get there, but I think I’m ready for it.” Ryan Feltner OSU junior pitcher
ner will not face anyone near the caliber of Jenista or Conine, which presents an opportunity for an explosive 2018 campaign. “Those guys are really, really good hitters and I know that if I execute what I’m supposed to do, I’ll get them out more times than not,” Feltner said. “Just always being in attack mode and that’s something that I’m going to carry over to the starting role. Have a strong first inning and not letting off the gas the innings after that.” If he has his way, Feltner will be joining
the ranks of those former Ohio State players to turn pro. He’s been drafted before. He’ll be drafted again. “I think I’m really ready for the draft and everything and whatever happens, happens with that,” Feltner said. “I’m just going to go out there and pitch to the best of my ability and I’m going to get some wins for the Buckeyes and then hope that that comes after.” He’s ready for the bus rides across the country for games and grueling dog days of summer. He’s ready to show that the improvements he made in the Cape Cod League will help guide him to the major leagues. A season from now, he might be the returning professional player coming to the cages to lead the discussions and practices with other future draft hopefuls on Ohio State. Until then, he just continues to wait his turn to step into the net.

Feltner stepping into ace role in likely last season EDWARD SUTELAN Assistant Sports Editor sutelan.1@osu.edu On a cold January day, both current and former members of Ohio State’s baseball team worked in the batting cages at Bill Davis Stadium. Current professional baseball players Ronnie Dawson, Jalen Washington, Nick Sergakis and Brad Goldberg all practiced and swapped notes. Standing among them, listening to the discussions and awaiting his turn to step into the net and throw a bullpen session, was junior starting pitcher Ryan Feltner, who will be Ohio State’s ace in 2018. The right-hander has been drafted before. He knows what it’s like to have his name selected by a team. What he doesn’t know is what it is like to sign with the team and continue in professional baseball, which makes the former players having their winter workouts in Columbus a valuable chance for Feltner to learn about what could be ahead in the future. “I talked to all of them. They all kind of say the same thing: it can be a grind at times,” Feltner said. “I mean I think it’s all worth it. Everybody’s dream is to get to the big leagues and it’s not really going to be too much fun until you get there, but I think I’m ready for it.” Feltner hasn’t found much success in two years with the Buckeyes, but he has the repertoire of pitches needed to be drafted. He is viewed by Baseball America and D1Baseball.com as one of the top prospects in the Big Ten.

Ohio State then-freshman pitcher Ryan Feltner (26) prepares to deliver a pitch during an 11-6 victory against the Xavier Musketeers on March 22, 2016 at Bill Davis Stadium. Because of that, Feltner expects to hear his name called by an MLB team in June, like he did after he graduated high school in 2015 when he was selected by the Toronto Blue Jays 752nd overall in the 25th round of the draft. Feltner will never forget the moment he was drafted as a high schooler. “I was watching it on my computer and I actually stepped away for a second and then came back to the computer and saw it and then got the call,” Feltner said. Feltner, who had already committed to Ohio State, began the contract negotiation
process shortly thereafter with the Blue Jays, but realized about a week later he was not going to sign with them. Having been drafted in the 25th round, Feltner was not likely to receive a large signing bonus. He also knew that since he was still somewhat of a raw talent, he could improve his draft stock after developing in the college ranks. “It would’ve had to take a good amount more than what was available for me to skip out on Ohio State,” Feltner said. “I knew at the time I had a lot more in the tank. Obviously back then I thought I was
really good and I thought I was ready, but looking back on it, I wasn’t ready at all.” The decision initially looked good. Though not dominant, Feltner posted a respectable 4.06 ERA with 61 strikeouts over 68.2 innings as a freshman. He struggled last season, however, posting a 6.32 ERA over 62.2 innings while flipping between the rotation and bullpen. Feltner had issues with control and consistency of his secondary pitches. Low on confidence and in search of a start to turn around his diminishing draft stock, Feltner traveled to Bourne, Massachusetts, to play for the Bourne Braves in the Cape Cod League, the most-scouted collegiate summer league that many of the best players join to compete against one another. “I didn’t know if I was going to be a starter or reliever and it turned out I was going to be a reliever,” Feltner said. “I was just happy to be getting a little bit of a fresh start and getting on the right foot again on the mound.” Pitching solely as a reliever, Feltner dominated batters, not allowing an unearned run in 15.1 innings with a 15-to-7 strikeouts-to-walk ratio. He was given the Cape Cod Outstanding Relief Pitcher Award. While there, he said he faced hitters like Wichita State junior outfielder Greyson Jenista and Duke outfielder Griffin Conine, both considered first-round caliber batters in the draft. Rather than being spread out over several innings or being unsure whether he was a starting pitcher or a reliever, Feltner FELTNER CONTINUES ON 7
MEN’S BASKETBALL
Where does Ohio State stand with four games left? EDWARD SUTELAN Assistant Sports Editor sutelan.1@osu.edu By all accounts, the Ohio State men’s basketball team has exceeded expectations. Many people thought it would finish 11th or 12th in the Big Ten. As of right now, the Associated Press has the Buckeyes as the No. 8 team. No, not in the conference, but in the country. With only four games remaining on its regular-season schedule, Ohio State has the chance to do several things no one would have given them a chance to do at the beginning of the season: win the Big Ten regular-season title, be a contender for the Big Ten tournament championship and reach the NCAA Tournament as a high seed. Ohio State head coach Chris Holtmann said the team has discussed what lies ahead, but that all discussions have been shortlived. “We did talk a little bit about the Big Ten [regular-season crown] after the Purdue game,” Holtmann said after the team’s win against Iowa Saturday. “Just elephant in the room. We were just kinda talking, ‘Hey, listen, we’re going to kind of put this to bed. We’ve got a really difficult,
challenging stretch ahead of us, but there’s nothing wrong with having goals.’” No. 2 Michigan State beating No. 6 Purdue Saturday made the road easier for Ohio State. It separated the Buckeyes from the Boilermakers in the standings, giving the Scarlet and Gray a one-game advantage over any other team in the conference. But Ohio State still has work left, even with the current separation. The stretch ahead features road matches against Penn State — the only blemish on Ohio State’s conference record — on Thursday and versus No. 22 Michigan on Sunday. Ohio State then returns to Columbus for a home game against Rutgers on Tuesday and a road game against Indiana on Feb. 23 to end the season. The Buckeyes will be favorites to win every remaining game in their schedule. But based on where they are in the standings, they only have to win three games to clinch at least a share of the Big Ten regular-season title. It would be the first regular-season title for Ohio State since it shared the championship with Michigan State and Michigan in 2012 and its first outright championship since 2011. As far as an NCAA Tournament berth, the Buckeyes could
lose every remaining regular-season game and still reach the tournament. They would finish the season 22-9 with a 13-5 conference record, plus whatever happens in the Big Ten tournament. Ohio State is currently expected to be a No. 4 seed in the east regional in the NCAA Tournament. If it wins out and claims the conference championship, Ohio State could be even higher. The same is true should it win the Big Ten tournament. The top four seeds in the conference tournament are given byes until the third round of the tournament, meaning Ohio State would just have to win three games to win the tournament. Even if Ohio State loses the remainder of its four games, it would remain one of the top four seeds going into the Big Ten tournament. The road ahead for Ohio State is certainly not easy. The road matchups, even against an Indiana team that has struggled this season, will not prove easy for the Buckeyes. They know what’s ahead. The Michigan State win against Purdue gives them room, but it does not give them the title.
