ASST. CAMPUS EDITOR LETTER FROM THE EDITOR Dear Readers, Congratulations on your acceptance into Ohio State, and welcome to the family! This year’s Buckeye Bound edition is just for you. You might already be bleeding scarlet and gray or feeling absolutely terrified to start your first year. Whichever category you fall under, just know everybody has a place here (even if sometimes it takes a while to find it). One day, you may even be a sappy senior like me, telling first-years how fast your time went by on campus (it really does go by fast). I encourage you to embrace the weirdness of your freshman year.

MEET THE STAFF

MADISON KINNER she/her

ASST. CAMPUS EDITOR Learn to love the tiny dorm rooms and mass-produced dining hall food. Let your parents take embarrassing photos of you with the Brutus statue in the Union before they send you off. Go to a Buckeyes game even if you know nothing about sports. Break a sweat at the activities fair and then go to twenty different club meetings without knowing anyone. Tell your life story to the roommate you just met, and then again to the person down the hall. Your first year will be awkward as you meet new people and try on new versions of yourself— just roll with it. You are now part of the massive Ohio State community, and if you’re looking to catch up on campus news, the sports or the local arts scene, The Lantern has you covered! In this issue, our campus section will bring you up to speed on the latest developments

at Ohio State and hopefully smooth out the transition into your first year on campus. We covered everything from crime rates and an increase in your cost of attendance to study spots and “THE” biggest trademark news in OSU history. Some of us at The Lantern are new to reporting and some of us have been here for a couple years, but all of us are trying our best to deliver top-notch reporting. As the university’s only independent newspaper written by students, we want to make sure people like you know what’s up at Ohio State. In the future, keep an eye for printed copies around campus or check us out online. Good luck, and see you around! Aubrey Wright

Students often use the term “swipes’’ instead of “visits,” but they’re interchangeable.

BUCKID CASH

Traditions are located in Scott House, Morrill Tower and Kennedy Commons serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. From 8-10 p.m. Scott House and Kennedy will offer mobile order to-go services. After 8 p.m. students will need to order their meal on Grubhub and pick up at their selected location, according to the dining services website.

BuckID cash is just like it sounds — money on your BuckID card. Similar to a debit card, students can load money into their account and spend it at locations on or off campus. Off-campus locations allowing BuckID cash will have a small sign with a BuckID photo to let patrons know it’s accepted.

The plans are named after the number of visits to a Traditions dining hall each student is allowed per week: 10 or 14 visits, respectively. Visits per week reset every Saturday at 3 a.m., so students with the Gray 10 or Scarlet 14 plans can’t use more than their allotted amount or save visits for the next week.

The Board of Trustees approved increases in tuition, as well as housing and dining fees May 19.

The change will not affect current university students, in accordance with the Ohio State tuition guarantee program, which locks tuition for Ohio residents throughout their four years at the university. Student health insurance will increase by 4.9 percent, reaching $3,530 annually, according to the meeting agenda. Michael Papadakis, Ohio State’s senior vice president of business and finance and chief financial officer, said during the meeting the university faced financial strains because of a decrease in state funding, stagnant tuition prices from the tuition guarantee program and the impact of inflation. These factors led to the increase in tuition, he said. “There’s significant inflationary impacts we’re seeing both from a labor standpoint — that’s fulltime employees and student employees as well — and then all of the commodity cost pressures that we’re all seeing, whether it’s energy costs, food costs, etc.,” Papadakis said.

These increases come a year after the Board of Trustees approved a 3.8 percent increase in tuition and instructional fees, as well as a 2.5 percent increase in dining and housing rates for incoming first-year students in the fall 2021. The increase in tuition and mandatory fees also applies to regional campuses, according to the meeting agenda. At Lima, Mansfield, Marion and Newark campuses, the estimated annual cost of tuition and fees for in-state incoming freshmen will be $3,944 or $24,237 for outof-state students. In-state students at the Agricultural Technical Institute in Wooster will pay $8,900 while those out-of-state will pay $33,137, according to the meeting agenda. Gov. Mike DeWine said in a statement May 19 that he is unhappy with the tuition increase because inflation is negatively impacting instate families financially. “I am disappointed that Ohio State is raising tuition on incoming first-year stu-

dents,” DeWine said. “This is not a wise decision.” International undergraduate students will not see a surcharge increase, according to the meeting agenda. Despite the increase, University Ben Johnson said in an email Ohio State will remain the second most affordable selective admission public university in Ohio for in-state undergraduate students and the seventh for in-state tuition and fees among the Big Ten schools. Johnson said the university will also continue the Scarlet and Gray Advantage program — an initiative started by University President Kristina M. Johnson dedicated to enable Ohio State students to graduate debt-free over the next 10 years.

Crime rate around campus at lowest rate in over 10 years DANNY FOGARTY Former Campus Editor fogarty.69@osu.edu This story was originally published June 1, 2022. Crimes committed in the campus area fell to its lowest number in over 10 years during the first five months of 2022. From Jan. 1 to May 31, there were 48 instances of burglaries, robberies and assaults within a one-mile radius of campus, according to the LexisNexis Community Crime Map. The number is lower than every year during that same five-month period since 2009 — the earliest recorded data for the crime map. University spokesperson Dan Hedman said in an email the university noticed this trend in fall of 2021 due to the increased safety precautions put in place at that time. “The safety of the Ohio State community is our top priority,” Hedman said.

The Community Crime Map reports 36 burglaries, eight robberies and four assaults in the first five months of 2022. Hedman said University Police have partnered with the Columbus Division of Police to hire more officers to serve on-and-off campus. He said the university has also installed permanent lighting in the off-campus area and added additional cameras and license plate readers to on-campus parking garages. Crime in the campus area hit its highest in 2010 when 190 burglaries, robberies and assaults occurred from Jan. 1 to May 31 of that year, according to the crime map. This number decreased by about 71 percent over the next decade, with 54 crimes occurring during that period in 2020. However, during the five-month period in 2021, 96 crimes were reported — the highest single-year increase since 2009.These crimes prompted University President Kristina M. Johnson to announce a $2 million pledge over the next 10 years to increase safety around campus.

SEXUAL VIOLENCE RESOURCES Over half of women and one in four men have experienced sexual violence during their lifetimes, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Below is a list of confidential support resources on and off campus for victims and survivors of sexual violence.

Crimes committed around campus fell to its lowest number in over 10 years during the first five months of 2022.

Despite this pledge, many in the Buckeye community — such the Facebook group Buckeyes for a Safe Ohio State — raised concerns over crimes throughout the academic year. These included catalytic converter thefts, stolen cars in on-campus garages and a case of shots fired through the window of a student’s off-campus apartment. Buckeyes for a Safe Ohio State did not respond by the time of publication. Hedman said the university will continue to enhance safety in and around campus and

will continue to monitor crime trends and adjust its precautions accordingly. “We remain fully committed to refining and broadening our holistic approach to addressing crime, including education and community-wide engagement,” Hedman said.

Provost Gilliam announces Ohio State will no longer distribute iPads to incoming students DANNY FOGARTY Former Campus Editor fogarty.69@osu.edu This story was originally published April 26, 2022. Ohio State will no longer provide iPads to incoming students as part of its Digital Flagship program, Executive Vice President and Provost Melissa L. Gilliam announced in a universitywide email April 26. Students who currently have iPads will be allowed to keep them, but first-year students in the fall, as well as transfer students, will not receive the technology, according to the program’s website. Students who have not yet received an iPad, but are eligible to receive them, may do so until the end of the spring 2022 semester. According to the website, devices will continue to be available to loan out for students who do not have access to a personal device for a semester or a program’s duration.

The university will expand this on-demand, device-borrowing service, as well as pilot a refurbishing program that will “extend the life of our existing devices to support more students,” according to the website. In addition to changes with iPad distribution, the Digital Flagship program will expand Adobe Creative Cloud access — which includes programs such as Photoshop and Premiere Pro — to undergraduate, graduate and professional students in June, Gilliam said. The program will also offer microcredentials, certificates and professional certifications in technology to students, faculty and staff, according to the email. Gilliam said the changes to the program aim to meet the needs of students in a more equitable manner. She said remote teaching and learning during the pandemic brought many of these digital inequities to the forefront. “This new approach will enable us to focus on technology access and skill building

for all students in a more sustainable way, and I look forward to seeing what you will do with these new resources,” Gilliam said. The Digital Flagship Program, which is a collaboration between Apple and Ohio State, was originally announced in 2017. It provided technology kits, including an iPad, case, keyboard, Apple Pencil and Apple Care to every incoming freshman student beginning with the 2018-19 class. It also established coding classes and technology design labs, according to the program’s website.

In January, faculty members expressed concern about the potential end to iPad distribution, and University President Kristina M. Johnson said in an April 15 interview with The Lantern the university may alter the Digital Flagship program to provide devices on an as-needed basis.and professional students in June, Gilliam said. The program will also offer microcredentials, certificates and professional certifications in technology to students, faculty and staff, according to the email.

Ohio State launches drug, alcohol misuse course for first-year students JESSICA LANGER Editor-in-Chief langer.42@osu.edu Ohio State will require incoming first-year and transfer students to take an educational course that focuses on drugs and alcohol starting this fall. University President Kristina M. Johnson announced in an universitywide email Tuesday that the online educational program will cover drug misuse prevention, prescription drug abuse prevention and mental wellness. Students must take the course in order to register for classes, Johnson said.

According to a news release, the modules will teach students about the recent uprise in opioid overdoses on college campuses. Students can access the course through Buckeyelearn. This program comes after three Ohio State students were hospitalized after an off-campus overdose in May. The overdoses caused two fatalities. At that time, fake Adderall pills laced with fentanyl were found around Ohio State’s Columbus campus that caused an increase in overdoses and hospitalizations, according to Columbus Public Health.

According to a 2018 Ohio State study, about 16 percent of students admitted to misusing stimulants — drugs that speed up brain activity — including Adderall, Julie Teater, an Ohio State psychiatrist, said. These drugs can cause side effects that can impair cognitive abilities if mixed with alcohol or not prescribed, she said. Shawnté Elbert, associate vice president for health and well-being within the Office of Student Life, said in the release data shows a higher need for education around the misuse of alcohol and drugs.

According to a fall 2021 National College Health Assessment, around 67 percent of the 23,600 respondents said they consumed alcohol. Around 36 percent said they took non-prescribed cannabis and 6.5 percent reported that they take non-prescribed stimulants, such as Adderall. Ohio State currently requires incoming freshmen to take courses on sexual misconduct and hazing. The course is available to any student who would like to take it, Johnson said.

Food delivery robots to return to campus this fall MADISON KINNER Asst. Campus Editor kinner.11@osu.edu This story was originally published June 13, 2022. Food delivery robots will return to Ohio State’s campus this fall, Grubhub announced in a press release June 13. According to the release, Grubhub will partner with technology startup Cartken, which specializes in self-driving robots and delivery operations. The 40 new robots will operate similarly to last year, delivering from five locations on campus — Mirror Lake Eatery, 12th Avenue Bread Company, Curl Market, Scott Connecting Grounds and Oxleys to Go — University spokesperson Dave Isaacs said. The robots will be able to deliver to residence halls and other select buildings across campus, Isaacs said. The goal is to increase to 80 robots by the end of fall semester, and some robots will begin mapping and learning the best routes across campus later this month.

Eric Harper, senior director at Grubhub, said in the press release that the company looks forward to continue its work with Ohio State on the campus dining experience. “We’ve worked with Ohio State University for years on the campus dining front, and they are always an early adopter of solutions that create efficiencies for their operations and improve the student experience,” Harper said. The robots were tested on Ohio State’s campus in the spring, operating from Mirror Lake Eatery to Lincoln and Morrill Towers. Christian Bersch, Cartken’s chief executive officer, said in the press release the company is excited to develop their robot delivery services through their partnership with Grubhub. “This collaboration perfectly aligns with our mission to use robotics and AI technology to provide friction-free and environmentally sustainable delivery, and have robots serve the community,” Bersch said. “We are excited to scale alongside Grubhub and offer robot delivery to students on campuses across the country.”

Food robots will be returning to campus, following their discontinuing in early 2022.

The return comes after Ohio State announced March 3 that Grubhub would retire its food rovers produced by Yandex, a Russian-owned technology company, that it used in fall 2021 and start the of the 2022 spring semester as U.S. companies began to impose sanctions on Russian leaders and oligarchs following the invasion of Ukraine. Zia Ahmed, senior director of Student Life Dining Services, said in the press release the university is excited to bring food ro-

bots back to campus. “Robot delivery has been very popular on campus this past school year, validating our prediction that students would appreciate autonomous mobile delivery,” Ahmed said.

Welcome to Ohio State and to your introduction of The Lantern! As the Arts & Life Editor, my experience with the desk has been one full of surprises, learning and joy. When I came to Ohio State as a first-year journalism major, I don’t think that I fully understood the scope of Arts & Life and all that it encapsulated. My time working for The Lantern has allowed me to experience a variety of opportunities that I wouldn’t have been granted access to at any other desk. The ability Arts & Life has given me and the others who work for this desk to learn about Ohio State and the Columbus community as a whole has been unparalleled.

Arts & Life also covers a wide range of topics, from serious stories to lighthearted features, which guarantees engaging content for readers. My experience last year as the gallery art reporter gave me the opportunity to speak with various artists and learn their stories. I think that may be my favorite part about this desk — the ability it gives to connect with people to tell their stories, to learn their perspective. My hope for this year is that we at the Arts & Life desk will continue to provide you, the reader, with captivating stories that give you a greater perspective of our Ohio State and Columbus community. Best, Phoebe

With a combination of trendy, football-season-friendly items and a location that appeals to students, Clothing Underground found what worked for them and has stuck with it over the years, Harden said. For Adriatico’s, a pizza place near campus, a marriage of unique flavor and remaining faithful to original recipes is what makes the spot stand out against its competitors, Jameson Wagner, general manager at Adriatico’s and a 2009 Ohio State alumnus, said. “We have a unique style to our pizza — our sauce is a flavor that I haven’t seen anywhere else,” Wagner said. “We really stress consistency, trying to make the same quality pizza that people had when they were in college 10, 20 years ago. They come back and they like to make sure it’s the same pizza that they remember.”

Clothing Underground is a second hand clothing store at 1652 N. High St. that sells upcycled items, often Ohio State-related.

In similar fashion to Clothing Underground, Adriatico’s switched locations in 2018 to a much larger building nearby at 1618 Neil Ave. However, instead of moving as a deliberate upgrade like Clothing Underground, Adriatico’s had to leave to make way for an Ohio State optometry clinic and office building, according to an article from The Lantern.

Despite Clothing Underground and Adriatico’s having become popular community staples, with upcycled clothing present at every football game and pizza from the shop around the corner served regularly at Ohio State student organization meetings, Wagner said their appreciation for their customers has never waned.

“Something we strive to do is to be in the forefront of OSU students and employees and everything because, you know, they’ve always treated us well, given us lots of business,” Wagner said. “We just try to have a consistent quality, and it’s great to be rec“Bigger dining room, bigger kitchen and ognized that people see that and appreciate everything,” Wagner said. “I feel like we’ve that.” really just helped grow the business there and just been able to meet the demand that we have.” Despite leaving its cozy, hole-in-the-wall beginnings, Wagner said the move was good for the pizza place, allowing it to better serve customers as business continues to grow.

Newport Music Hall has earned a reputation with the Columbus community as a go-to concert venue for Ohio State students.

“It’s a smaller concert venue that has smaller bands and names, but it’s still really fun,” Poffenberger said. “I almost prefer it to a realy big concert because it’s more intimate.” Poffenberger said she thinks Newport’s location on High Street has led to its popularity with the campus community, particularly considering how close it is to dorms and popular nightlife spots.

She said she goes to Newport because of its proximity to campus, giving her the ability to see what’s going on at the venue just by walking past it, as opposed to having to check online or in another manner.

“It’s really cool because there’s character in the building,” Kapcar said. “Marble stairs near the bathrooms and seeing the ceiling and the old finishes is cool because as cool as it is to go to a modern place like Express, I think there’s something cool being at a historical place like that and thinking about how many bands have played there.”

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Dear readers,

Welcome to Ohio State! This is just the start of a year full of action-packed, edge-ofyour-seat and thrilling competition that I’m grateful to share with all of you during my final year of college under the Sports desk where I’ve been since the first day of my first semester — The Lantern! I remember going to all of the home football games and joining as many clubs and student organi-

zations as I could during my freshman year. I became a regular in dining halls, like Traditions at Kennedy, and explored athletic complexes like Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium during my first few weeks on campus. I covered my first men’s soccer game between Ohio State and the University of Illinois at Chicago Sept. 1, 2019, and later wrote about baseball, ice hockey, softball, volleyball and more. I wanted to make as many new friends and cover the most important

stories at the start of my college career. Then, the pandemic began. The world saw unprecedented historic events, and my life changed incredibly. I went to class virtually and covered sports remotely, but still made unforgettable memories I’ll cherish because of the opportunity and people at Ohio State. I covered my first Ohio State football game from home in 2020, then for the first time in-person last year. From Los Angeles to Miami,

I’ve ventured coastto-coast reporting on Ohio State athletics, and I’m more than ready to follow the biggest stories and tell the most interesting tales that make the Buckeyes who the Buckeyes are. I can’t say enough about the opportunities at Ohio State. “Invest in you” is one of my favorite mottos, and I hope your first year is full of fun, memories and many stories read in The Lantern! How Firm Thy Friendship, Jacob Benge

Track & Field: ‘Second to none’: Aquilla cherishes breaking college shot put record JACOB BENGE Sports Editor benge.30@osu.edu This story was originally published June 15, 2022. Following the indoor track and field season, senior thrower Adelaide Aquilla felt discouraged. Aquilla finished second in the NCAA Championship for shot put after recording a 17.95-meter throw. She won the title both in 2020 and 2021 but fell just short of making it three in a row. Just one year ago, Aquilla earned a spot at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics with Team USA, performing in the preliminary round. She received Big Ten Field Athlete of the Year in both indoor and outdoor seasons. Once she returned to Ohio State prior to last season, Aquilla said she had to rediscover what she loved about the demands to be successful at shot put. “One of the big things that I struggled with at the beginning of the year is after coming back from the Olympics and being at the pinnacle of everybody’s dream sports experience,” Aquilla said. “It was a little difficult for me to come back and want to compete again and get into that competition mode.” Aquilla stamped her place back atop the NCAA by breaking the collegiate and her own program records with a 19.64-meter toss

to earn her third outdoor national championship in Eugene, Oregon, June 9 — on her first official throw of the meet. The former walk-on bested the previous NCAA record by 0.18 meters set by Arizona State’s Maggie Ewen in 2018. Aquilla finished with each of the top-four throws during the NCAA Outdoor Championships, but only needed her first to claim gold. “To come back and defend my title — and do it in a little bit of style — was an awesome feeling,” Aquilla said. “I was super excited to go out there and compete in Eugene.” Aquilla said she credits throws coach Travis Coleman, who joined Ohio State’s program in September 2021 after coaching for four years at Maryland, for helping her do what she loves and pushing her to remain one of the best. Coleman said he recalled his first meeting with Aquilla at the start of the year. While her goals seemed “lofty,” Coleman said Aquilla’s work ethic was “second to none.” “I was trying to get a feeling for her mindset of, ‘Am I thinking the same things you’re thinking so that way we’re speaking the same language?’ The numbers she put out and the goal she put out was everything you would expect,” Coleman said. “It’s what you’d expect out of, arguably, maybe one of the best female athletes to ever be here at Ohio State with what she’s done.”

Ohio State then-senior thrower Adelaide Aquilla competes at the Big Ten Championship on Feb. 26, 2021.

Former director of track and field and cross country Karen Dennis, who announced her retirement June 13, said Aquilla has been “amazing” to coach as an in-state athlete from Rocky River, Ohio, to global success.

with plans of pursuing a professional career as a track and field athlete. She’ll have new leader at the helm of the program in Ohio State track and field alum Rosalind Joseph, who was announced as the program’s new director June 15.

“Adelaide didn’t have to stay here, and I attribute her staying here,” Dennis said. “That was a goal that Adelaide had was to win the national championship and defend her championship and break the record, and so to see her do that on her first throw, I mean, I was just super happy for her as well as for Travis because that’s his first national champion.”

Now the new holder of the farthest shot put throw in college, Aquilla said she’s “grateful” to see her work pay off. While it didn’t sink in until she returned from Oregon, Aquilla’s latest performance is one she won’t soon forget.

Aquilla has one season of eligibility remaining during indoor track and field competition, and said she intends on using it

“Coming back and just having my boyfriend and just like a couple other friends come back and surprise me. They put some balloons on my car,” Aquilla said. “That’s when it really sunk in that I had broke the national record and won the NCAAs. It was an awesome experience.”

Football: Back to back: Draft success shows Hartline building first-round pipeline

games at Ohio State, Williams tallied 266 yards on 15 receptions, hauling in three touchdowns. Even though Williams sought opportunity elsewhere, Hartline said the investment spent coaching spans beyond him to others around him, like his wife, Kara Hartline, and seeing players rewarded is the ultimate payoff. “We’re all in — my kids, her. I’m not the only coach that does that,” Hartline said. “You’re very invested, and if a guy does choose to leave, you feel that. I’m not saying it’s wrong. It’s just part of the equation now more times than it used to be, but pretty cool when you see those end results.” Head coach Ryan Day said emotion surrounds the NFL Draft for each player, their families, coaches and beyond. From Olave and Wilson to former quarterback Justin Fields — who also went in the first round of the NFL draft to the Chicago Bears in 2021 — Day said the success allows him to reflect on what the Buckeyes’ program can offer.

CASEY CASCALDO | LANTERN FILE PHOTO

Wide receivers coach Brian Hartline talks with the players on the bench in the first half of the 2019 Spring Game on April 13, 2019. Gray beat Scarlet 35-17.

JACOB BENGE Sports Editor benge.30@osu.edu This story was originally published May 25, 2022. Ohio State’s success in the NFL Draft is well-noted, as the Buckeyes’ 87 first-round selections are the most of all-time among all programs. The Buckeyes have had at least one first round selection in seven-consecutive drafts, which is the second-longest streak behind Alabama. However, Buckeye wideouts hadn’t heard their names called in the first round of the draft since 2007, and wide receivers coach Brian Hartline — who was a fourth round pick in 2009 and spent seven seasons in the NFL — was prime to break that streak in April. Defensive coordinator Jim Knowles arrived at Ohio State in January, noting he

often thought of the Buckeyes when talking about talented players with coaches in the past. Now working for a program that finished second among Power 5 programs in receiving yards per game last season, Knowles said not only did the talent around his new colleague stand out, but Hartline’s appearance did too. “There’s a saying in our business, ‘What you see is what you coach,’ so there’s nobody better than him in terms of the product that he puts on the field,” Knowles said. “He’s a snappy dresser and he looks sharp. He just looks like you’d want a great wide receiver coach and offensive coach to look, and I’m glad to be on his team.” For the first time in a decade-and-a-half, an Ohio State wide receiver was selected in the first round of the NFL Draft when the New York Jets chose Garrett Wilson with the No. 10 overall pick April 28. Not only did Ohio State have one firstround wide receiver drafted, but they had

two — as Chris Olave went No. 11 overall to the New Orleans Saints. Hartline attended the draft in Las Vegas with Olave and Wilson and said it was memorable to see two players he coached develop into first round picks. “The emotional conversations we’ve had, and just there’s so much that comes back, but to see guys accomplish their dream in that fashion was definitely something I’ll take with me for the rest of my life,” Hartline said. “It was very cool.” Olave and Wilson combined for 4,924 receiving yards and 58 touchdown receptions during their decorated Buckeye careers. During the 2019 and 2020 seasons, they shared the wide receiver room with former Buckeye Jameson Williams, who transferred to Alabama in May 2021. Williams went No. 12 overall to the Detroit Lions, marking three-consecutive receivers to go in the first round who spent time in an Ohio State uniform. Across 22

“It’s a very, very exciting time to be a quarterback and a wide receiver,” Day said. “You’re seeing a couple guys go in the first round, so it’s starting to pick up a lot of momentum. It’s very exciting in recruiting to be in that area.” Ohio State’s list of first round draft picks may increase, as junior wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba and sophomore quarterback C.J. Stroud could follow suit after boosting their value on the heels of record-breaking and Heisman Trophy finalist-caliber seasons, respectively. Day, who’s coached alongside Hartline since both joined Ohio State in 2017, said seeing several of Hartline’s former wide receivers selected in the first round is “testimony” about Hartline and the potential for future players at Ohio State. “A really important part of recruiting is the development,” Day said. “For the guys who are focused on that and want to develop into becoming really good college players and possibly being NFL draft picks, then Ohio State is a great option.”

JACOB BENGE Sports Editor benge.30@osu.edu On Oct. 7, 1922, Ohio State defeated Ohio Wesleyan in its first game at Ohio Stadium. Almost 100 years later, the Buckeyes are still competing for glory on the gridiron in what’s become one of the most iconic, storied stadiums not just in college football, but in the world: The ‘Shoe. Last season, Ohio Stadium reopened to full capacity after limiting the number of fans to family and select others for the first time ever in 2020. Ohio State and athletics director Gene Smith made the move to mobile ticketing in 2021 among other changes a year ago, but The ‘Shoe still largely resembles its history that began a century ago. One major change coming this season is renovated field turf. For the first time since 2014, the playing field at Ohio Stadium was facelifted, and it will feature a new-look design, including updates to the end zone font and kickoff locations. As the Buckeyes prepare to begin the 2022 season and commemorate 100 years of Ohio Stadium, here are some do’s and don’ts to make the most of your Ohio State football game day experience. DO: Arrive at least 30 minutes prior to kickoff

Monday, Aug. 1, 2022 | The Lantern | 43

The Big Ten Conference and Ohio State previously announced kickoff times for select games this fall. Each game, Ohio Stadium is almost always packed both in and around the stadium whether kickoff is set for noon, the afternoon or evening. Getting to The ‘Shoe and on time for for kickoff is crucial to starting game day on the right foot. There will be some wait times at the gate, and locating your seats will be a maze in itself. Gates open two hours prior to kickoff at Ohio Stadium. The South end zone entrance is a popular entrance for students near the RPAC and gates 36 and 38. DON’T: Wait to download tickets to your phone Ohio Stadium accepts mobile ticketing, so your phone will be key to get inside and watch the Buckeyes try to reclaim the Big Ten Championship for the first time in two seasons. It’s best to add the digital tickets to your mobile wallet, like Apple Wallet or Google Pay and ensure they’ll be on your phone when you arrive at the ticket kiosks. Last season, the athletic department addressed updated game day experiences after long wait times and failed ticketing systems resulted in delayed entries. DO: Attend Skull Session at St. John Arena and watch the Team Walk to The ‘Shoe

up and excited for the game with head coach Ryan Day and the entire Ohio State roster. Two hours and 20 minutes before kickoff, the Ohio State Marching Band will perform their musical renditions of the pregame and halftime shows at St. John Arena across from the north rotunda of Ohio Stadium. Day and the Buckeyes participate in Skull Session by attending just before they go inside the stadium. Ohio State’s skipper will address the crowd, and one player will also take the microphone to share words ahead of kickoff. The team then walks together from St. John Arena to Ohio Stadium through the north rotunda. Skull Session is a fun pregame event with lots of people and even more to see, so make sure to check out one of Ohio State’s oldest traditions that dates back to the Ramp Entrance in 1928. DON’T: Bring cash or a bag In 2021, Ohio Stadium became cashless, and all major credit cards are accepted in addition to Apply Pay and Google Pay. This includes concession stands, merchandise and parking lots, so it’s important to make a plan and prepare. Ohio Stadium also doesn’t permit bags of any size, and wallets may be no larger than 5 inches by 8 inches by 1 inch. Game days don’t require too much to bring other than yourself, your phone and any spirit wear.

DO: Sit in Block “O” North or South student sections Ohio State’s official student section is Block “O,” a student-organization founded in 1938, according to its website. Packing more than 2,500 member students at every home football game, Block “O” also has 10 sections and isn’t just limited to football. Block “O” attends Ohio State men’s and women’s basketball, gymnastics, lacrosse, soccer, volleyball and more. Block “O” does have a membership fee; however, it’s included in the Block O North or South ticket packages or can be purchased for $20 during Welcome Week or any time throughout the semester. DO: Exercise caution and promote healthy lifestyles While masks are no longer required in most areas on campus, the pandemic is still ongoing. Ohio State updated its COVID-19 protocols in May before the start of the summer semester. According to a release, masks remain optional in most indoor spaces, and the COVID-19 vaccine is still required for all students, faculty and staff. Make sure to familiarize yourself with restroom locations and evaluate your health before leaving for Ohio Stadium.

Men’s Basketball: ‘God’s plan’: Liddell embraces journey, wait toward NBA draft dream JACOB BENGE Sports Editor benge.30@osu.edu

This story was originally published June 24, 2022 With childhood memories and framed photos filling the room, E.J. Liddell bowed his head and took in the emotion as he realized he was going to the NBA.

GABE HAFERMAN | LANTERN FILE PHOTO

Junior forward E.J. Liddell (32) goes up for a shot during the Ohio State-Penn State game on Jan. 16. Ohio State won 61-56.

As the 2022 NBA Draft progressed June 23, Liddell’s anticipation vanished with the No. 41 overall and 11th pick in the second round when the New Orleans Pelicans selected the junior forward. His lifelong dream came true in a room full of over 100 friends and family members who erupted into cheers inside St. Clair Country Club in his hometown in Belleville, Illinois. “It’s awesome. I’ve been dreaming about this for a long time,” Liddell said. “I’m going to keep getting better. That’s my thing. I get better. I improve. I work.” Liddell said it was tough waiting until the second round to finally hear his name called in the NBA draft, which is something he’ll keep in the back of his mind. “It’s the word potential nowadays, I guess, but I mean, I know I did everything I could in my power,” Liddell said. “I went back to school. I worked. I got better. Continuing to pass up on me, that’s fine. I understand.” The former Buckeye captain spent the last three seasons as an integral part of Ohio State, earning back-to-back selections to the First Team All-Big Ten. Liddell is one of 33

Buckeyes all-time to record over 1,000 points and 500 rebounds in his career.

Head coach Chris Holtmann was present at Liddell’s draft party June 23 alongside former Ohio State assistant and incoming Illinois State head coach Ryan Pedon. Holtmann said Liddell will have “a lot of work ahead of him,” but thinks he’ll have a successful career in the NBA. His mother, Michelle Liddell, embraced him with hugs while his immediate family and guests cheered around them. Michelle Liddell said her husband, Eric Liddell, had to leave and not see the selection in person for an undisclosed reason, but they cherished the “special” atmosphere and know E.J. Liddell takes pride in where he came from. E.J. Liddell is the first Buckeye selected by the New Orleans Pelicans in the franchise’s near-20-year history. E.J. Liddell said he watched the Pelicans play the Phoenix Suns during last season and believes he can fit into the organization alongside veterans, such as Brandon Ingram, CJ McCollum and younger players like 2019 No. 1 overall pick Zion Williamson. “They have a great young core. They’ve been working hard,” E.J. Liddell said. “I just see they got a lot of dogs on their team, so I can see myself with them.” Among the guests at E.J. Liddell’s draft party was high school teammate and current Illinois sophomore defensive lineman Keith Randolph Jr., who played on both state champion-

ship-winning teams with him at Belleville West High School. Randolph said watching E.J. Liddell get drafted in front of their community “means the world.” “Nobody knows how hard he actually works, like how much work he puts in behind closed doors,” Randolph said. “He deserves every bit of this.” E.J. Liddell wasn’t the only Buckeye who made the jump to the professional ranks Thursday. He and teammate freshman guard Malaki Branham became the first Buckeye duo selected in the NBA draft since the trio of center Greg Oden and guards Mike Conley and Daequan Cook were chosen in 2007, as Branham went No. 20 overall to the San Antonio Spurs “That’s awesome. I stood up for Malaki because I know how hard he worked for it, so I’m really happy,” E.J. Liddell said. With his college career behind him and NBA opportunity ahead, E.J. Liddell said he’s ready to put his head down and continue to do what he’s always done. “Definitely a humbling experience. I felt like I worked my hardest to get better this past year,” E.J. Liddell said. “It’s not about where you start — it’s about where you finish and I’ve always started from the bottom, so it’s nothing new. Nothing new at all.”

Chasing a dream: Webster achieves dual-sport aspiration by competing with field and women’s ice hockey teams head coach Jarred Martin, who has coached the United States U-17 National Team since 2015. Martin said he watched her compete in both sports on the ice and field. “It’s one thing to do both — I think it’s another thing to have that much of success in both,” Martin said. “But I think that just goes to show who she is as a person, her athleticism, her competitiveness. Just her commitment. I mean, she just loves, loves to play.” Webster parted from Wisconsin in April and entered the transfer portal. She recorded 66 points, 35 assists and 31 goals during her Badger career, including leading her team with 30 assists and finishing third with 53 points and 23 goals last season. Webster said she enjoyed her experiences and career at Wisconsin but wanted to continue playing field hockey. “My first two years of college, just playing ice hockey, but then I was really missing field hockey,” Webster said. “Playing that and helping out at Gateway camps during the summer, I just realized how much I missed it and decided to enter the portal.” COURTESY OF TOM LYNN

Makenna Webster, a former standout at Wisconsin, will transfer to Ohio State and plans to participate in both field and ice hockey.

JACOB BENGE Sports Editor benge.30@osu.edu Makenna Webster was already seven years old by the time she started playing ice hockey, but her field hockey career began while she was in a physical education class. Growing up in St. Louis and attending elementary school, Webster’s gym teacher also coached field hockey. One day, Webster’s gym teacher organized field hockey as a class activity, and that’s where her dual-sport career began. “We were doing field hockey as one of our units, and I was doing well in it. And she told me that I should try out or go play for the club in St. Louis called Gateway, so the next year after I started ice hockey, I got into field hockey around in second grade,” Webster said. “And ever since then, I’ve been playing both field and ice hockey.”

Webster transferred to Ohio State in May after playing the last two seasons on the women’s ice hockey team at Wisconsin. Despite growing up playing two sports she loved, Webster competed in just one at the collegiate level with the Badgers’ women’s ice hockey team, because Wisconsin doesn’t offer field hockey as a varsity sport. She excelled, though, winning a national championship and earning the Frozen Four Most Outstanding Player in 2020. She represented the United States at the International Ice Hockey Federation U-18 Women’s World Championships and won gold twice from 2018-20. Yet, Webster still pursued her passion for both field and ice hockey. Continuing her Gateway Field Hockey Club career, Webster played all the way through high school and more recently advanced with her team to the 2021 USA Field Hockey National Club Championship game in July 2021. It was with Team USA where Webster became familiar with Ohio State field hockey

Ohio State women’s ice hockey head coach Nadine Muzerall and the Buckeyes captured the first national championship in program history March 20. Once Muzerall found out Webster intended to transfer from Wisconsin, she got in communication. Meanwhile, Martin said Gateway Field Hockey Associate Director Kate Graft — Webster’s club field hockey coach in St. Louis — reached out to him with the message that Webster had entered the transfer portal, so he picked up the phone, too. “I reached out to Makenna as soon as I found out, just talking about what she’s looking for,” Martin said. “I told her I’m like, ‘I would love to be your coach. Nadine would love to be your coach. This is going to be a unique situation, but you need to be the one kind of pushing the envelope.’” Muzerall said because Webster only played ice hockey at Wisconsin, she was only in the transfer portal for that sport. Muzerall said she supported the idea of Webster’s dual-sport prospects, hoping to achieve her aspirations of landing a key player in the Western Collegiate Hockey

Assocation. She recollected on her own soccer career growing up, saying she “always regretted” not checking out her collegiate soccer opportunities before committing to ice hockey, so Muzerall is grateful to get the best of both worlds for her and Webster. “With the resources we have here, with our strength and conditioning, and with our nutritionist and our sports psychologists and with our academic counselors, she’s going to be really supported,” Muzerall said. “That’s why I ended up supporting it in the end is because I trust my staff that they’ll balance that for her and keep an eye on that, you know, that she doesn’t get burnt out.” For Webster, she’ll compete closer to family, she said. Her father is from the Cleveland and attended Kent State, and she has more relatives in Indiana. She’ll also have the chance to play both field and ice hockey at Ohio State, a program in which she’s already familiar. “It was always tough games, like a great rivalry between Wisconsin-Ohio State. Ohio State is just a tough team to play,” Webster said. “They’re always working hard, and they’re always being physical and everything, and I just love the way how coach Muzerall coaches them.” The Buckeyes field hockey team begins preseason exhibitions against Ohio Aug. 17, and the women’s ice hockey program starts its season at Minnesota State Sept. 30, so Webster will be challenged by the overlap of the two sports. But Webster, Martin and Muzerall aren’t worried. The three plan to communicate with one another and haven’t set a firm schedule in place, but Webster is excited to have the opportunity to play the two sports she loves under one uniform. “I think we’re just going to take it day-byday. There’s just a great connection from all the staff members,” Webster said. “It’s obviously going to be tough, but at the end of the day, it’s going to be a great experience, and we’ll just see how it goes.”

‘It Doesn’t Come Solo’: Dennis reflects on Buckeye coaching career, direction of college athletics for women

@TheLantern

athletics and sports overall. When she got into her career, Dennis said she had a budget around $23,000 to use for travel and recruiting expenses. She said women athletes shared beds, traveled in vans instead of buses and waited for the men to leave the building before entering to practice. Today, Dennis said living conditions have improved and there’s been “exponential increase” in salaries for women athletes. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the passage of Title IX, which prohibits sex discrimination in any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance, according to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services Office of Civil Rights.

JACOB BENGE | SPORTS EDITOR

Director of Track and Field and Cross Country Karen Dennis will retire after 20 seasons with the Buckeyes, the Ohio State athletic department announced in June.

JACOB BENGE Sports Editor benge.30@osu.edu This story was originally published June 13, 2022. Over a career that spanned more than four decades, the most satisfying moment during Karen Dennis’ tenure at Ohio State came in May. Dennis led the Buckeyes to become the first program since 1997 to earn Big Ten Outdoor Championships both for the men’s and women’s teams May 15. After the meet, she said she set up a chair as members of the Ohio State men’s and women’s track and field teams shared their excitement with one another. “My professional dream was to have

both our men and our women win together,” Dennis said. “That’s probably one of the most satisfying moments in my entire career when I sat there and watched those kids for two hours on the track just celebrate together with their families, take pictures and just enjoy the moment with each other.”

ference championships, coaching 140 and eight Olympians along the way. While achieving plenty of accomplishments and earning hardware, Dennissaid she traversed the many seasons with help from her support staff, from academic oversight to athletic trainers to compliance.

Dennis said she’s thought about retirement over the last five years, but felt like now was the right time to commit to a decision. The athletic department announced Monday that Dennis will retire from coaching and will introduce the next head coach Wednesday, according to an Ohio State spokesperson.

“It’s all very rewarding to me to see not just my success because it doesn’t come solo. I’ve had an amazing group of coaches who have traveled this whole journey with me, who have struggled with me, who have fought with me,” Dennis said. “It’s just been a unified and a total effort on behalf of the entire athletic department here for me.”

Across her 45-year coaching career, Dennis experienced vast change in college

Not only did Dennis say she wants to see continued change and improvement for athletic equity, but she hopes more opportunities arise for women who aspire to become a coach. She said she is grateful for Athletic Director Gene Smith’s support as she’s worked with the men’s and women’s teams at Ohio State. “Some of the coaches that have reached out to me today, particularly some of the women, I’ve asked them to, just reminded them how important it is to have a sisterhood because what happens is there are a lot of men who will not hire women,” Dennis said. “I think right now that’s why I’m so appreciative to Gene for trusting me enough to be able to give me the directorship of this program because without that example, then there are other women who may not even think that that could happen. As a result of that, there are more women now who are directors of combined programs, and I think that’s important.”

Name, image and likeness is at the forefront of the changing landscape today, and while Dennis said it hasn’t impacted the Buckeyes’ track and field and cross country programs, she hopes interested organizations “won’t forget” about the women within Ohio State’s athletic programs when considering partnerships. “I think they’re very deserving,” Dennis said. “I look at (senior thrower) Adelaide Aquila. I look at (graduate sprinter) Anavia Battle. Those women who have represented our country, they deserve stronger NIL opportunity. The game has changed, no question about it, and I think because the game has changed, I think leadership needs to change as well.”

Soon to turn over the reins of the program and embark on retirement, Dennis said she feels good about how she’s leaving the direction of Ohio State’s track and field and cross country teams. Dennis said she was encouraged by the women who came before her to become a coach herself and a lot more went into her coaching beyond what is on her resume that made it all worthwhile. “It’s not about how much money you make,” Dennis said. “It is about being passionate about what you do. It’s about being excellent at what you do. Money will come, but opportunities won’t come if you don’t make the most of them and work hard to be the best at it.”

Baseball: Mosiello hopes to bring energy, trust in first collegiate head coach position

people,” Mosiello said. “They’re going to be great teammates, great brothers, boyfriends and one day husbands. That’s what we’re going to develop.” Mosiello’s recruiting process will be more than identifying talent, he said. He’s not only looking for the best players, but those who fit into his system and style of coaching. Mosiello said he wants his players to improve every single day under his tenure, whether they’re on or off the field.

JACOB BENGE | SPORTS EDITOR

Head coach Bill Mosiello addresses media at his introductory press conference June 21.

STEVEN KISHPAUGH Asst. Sports Editor kishpaugh.3@osu.edu After spending nine seasons as an associate coach at Texas Christian University, Bill Mosiello was tabbed as Ohio State baseball’s next head coach June 16. Mosiello has nearly 30 years of coaching experience under his belt, but his opportunity at Ohio State is Mosiello’s first chance to be a head coach at the collegiate level.

“It’s not lost on me how important this is and the opportunity I have,” Mosiello said. “I didn’t wait 36 years to have this dream opportunity to say, ‘Yeah just give me a few years.’ Let’s get this thing going.” The hiring comes off a coaching search after Greg Beals was fired as head baseball coach at the end of the 2022 season. During Beals’ 12year tenure, the Buckeyes reached the NCAA Regional round three times.

Outside of his time at TCU, Mosiello has nearly 30 years of collegiate coaching experience and spent seven seasons as a minor league manager. He has guided his programs to five trips to the College World Series and coached over 90 MLB players. Mosiello said he not only wants to develop the baseball team into a consistent winner but also mold the players into future leaders. “We’re going to build them as

“We’re going to take care of business on a daily basis,” Mosiello said. “There’s no part of the game of baseball that’s more important. One thing my players will learn from day one about what’s the most important thing to do in our program, they’ll say immediately: ‘Whatever we’re doing at the time.’” Mosiello said he recognizes that he needs the trust of his players in order to carry out the vision he has for the program, which he realizes is a two-way process. “Every day they don’t trust me, we go backwards,” Mosiello said. “For me, it’s pretty simple. There’s a huge difference in wanting to win and willing to win. Doing the right thing will always be the core of who we are and what we do.”

Track & Field: Taking directorship a ‘full circle’ opportunity for Joseph JACOB BENGE Sports Editor benge.30@osu.edu Rosalind Joseph created a decorated, record-breaking career both as a long jumper and assistant coach in the Ohio State track and field program. She performed as a Buckeye student-athlete from 2002-05, earning outdoor All-American honors twice in the triple jump and setting program records in outdoor long jump and indoor triple jump. Joseph started her coaching career at Auburn from 2006-08, then returned to Ohio State as an assistant. From 2008-13, Joseph held an assistant role then became the Buckeyes’ associate head coach from 2013-18. She departed to become the director of track and field and cross country at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale in 2018, spending the last four years there until her path led her back home to Ohio State. “It was tough to leave as an assistant. A lot of the conversations even with (athletic director) Mr. Gene Smith was, ‘You have to get some leadership experience. You have to get some head coach experience,’” Joseph said. “I never knew that this would come full circle, but I took that as an indication that that’s something that I really needed to garner to be able to come back here.” Joseph was named the next director of Ohio State’s track and field and cross country programs June 15, taking her college coach’s position after Karen Dennis announced her retirement concluding two decades at Ohio State and 45 in collegiate coaching. The two formed a bond while Joseph was a student-athlete at Ohio State, continuing it through the beginnings of her own coaching career. Joseph said following in Dennis’ footsteps will be challenging, but she’s poised to continue the success seen in the program. “I think initially it’s a scary thought because those are huge shoes to fill,” Joseph said. “But, you know, after a lot of thought, it would be for anyone in the country. I’m very confident that anybody that walked in would have to fill those shoes, and so I like to say I know the

designer at least.” Dennis only coached the women’s track and field team when Joseph competed at Ohio State and didn’t become director of both the men’s and women’s programs until 2014. Joseph said she watched from afar how Dennis navigated coaching both men and women in addition to holding responsibility as director of cross country, because something like that isn’t common. “To really watch her do it, be under her tutelage to see how it’s been done and been done well, it’s almost kind of negated the notion that women can’t coach men, and more so in doing it has given me confidence to do it,” Joseph said. Since retiring this summer, Dennis said she’s confident in the direction of Ohio State’s track and field and cross country teams. She leaves behind a prestigious legacy and successful program, and she said “the cupboard’s not bare” in the potential for even more achievements. “I think the program is healthy,” Dennis said. “There’s somewhat of a legacy that they can build on. I think that that’s what each and every one of us as coaches that, here at The Ohio State University, has done. You take the program, and you elevate the program, and I don’t expect that to change.”

While with the Salukis, Joseph guided the program to four second-place finishes at the Missouri Valley Conference indoor and outdoor championships. She also coached the first Southern Illinois female and male teams to receive All-America recognition since 1986 and 1992, respectively. Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium completed construction in the summer of 2001, just before Joseph made her way to Ohio State. Since then, the athletic department added more resources, such as nutrition and conditioning, to maintain healthy and successful competition. Joseph said it’s “obvious” Ohio State invests in its student-athletes. While Ohio State’s track and field program saw overhaul over the last two decades, college athletics overall is experiencing sweeping change, such as in conference realignment and in the name, image and likeness landscape. Joseph said it’s an exciting time for student-athletes, and she wants to make sure Ohio State is equipped to adjust to changes made to the college athletics environment.

“I’ve called every division, every different level, and when we’re asking what are people doing, there’s a lot of, ‘I don’t know.’ Everyone’s trying to keep up and also not get too far ahead of some things,” Joseph said. “The brand of Ohio State is one that’s recognizable, and so I’m excited to be able to partner that with the student athletes and their experience here, but I think the how-to is something that is still to be determined.” Joseph has already started making changes at Ohio State, as the Buckeyes elevated assistant coach Sara Mason Vergote to head coach of the cross country program July 7. Joseph said she plans to connect her passion for athletics and lean on her past experience as a Buckeye as she begins year one at the helm of the program. “I was always going to watch it as a fan because I came through here, and it’s given me so much, so now just to be back and be able to be a part of continuing the tradition and molding more Buckeye student athletes, I mean, it’s incredible.”

Football: Report: Day thinks Ohio State needs $13 million in NIL to keep roster intact we are right now has really been the challenge.”

Athletic director Gene Smith said Feb. 10 225 Ohio State student-athletes made almost $3 million in NIL deals through Jan. 23, and the university ranks No. 1 nationally in NIL compensation and number of student-athletes with at least one NIL activity. The NCAA released a guidance to universities May 9 to remind them of the NIL environment and existing policy. Day said there are “hard feelings and unrest” in conversations surrounding NIL, and he believes more regulation must come.

Ohio State head coach Ryan Day encourages the team during the Ohio State Spring Game April 16. Ohio State Scarlet team won 34-26.

JACOB BENGE Sports Editor benge.30@osu.edu This story was originally published June 8, 2022. Head coach Ryan Day said June 2 he believes Ohio State needs about $13 million in compensation from name, image and likeness agreements to keep its roster intact, according to a report from Cleveland.com. Day spoke to a group of about 100 attendees among the Columbus business community during an event hosted by Ohio State at the Covelli Center. The university announced the Corporate Ambassador program, a marketing and advertising opportunity that will allow Ohio State student-athletes to serve as corporate brand ambassadors for a company within the Columbus community, according to a

release. During a radio appearance on Morning Juice on 97.1 The Fan May 25, Day said NIL is the “biggest challenge” for him and Ohio State. “I think, right now, there’s a lot of risk,” Day said. “The risk of doing nothing is that you fall behind, and as we know, that’s not an option here at Ohio State. If you’re too far out in front of it, then you could put yourself at risk in another way, so finding that balance and having conversations with so many in the community and around Buckeye Nation is really where the challenge has been.” Day’s $13 million figure divides into about $111,111 for each of the 117 players listed on Ohio State’s final roster last season. According to Doug Lesmerises of Cleveland.com, those figures average to about $150,000 per player on

an 85-man scholarship roster or around $500,000 for each of the 26 starters. Day also alluded to past history regarding endorsement opportunities and the Buckeyes, such as the 2010 “Tattoo-Gate” scandal in which six Ohio State players received suspensions for selling memorabilia and receiving improper benefits, ultimately resulting in the resignation of former head coach Jim Tressel in 2011. Day said educating as many people as possible on the NIL landscape is important, particularly those around Ohio State. “I think for so long in this space, certainly in Columbus and in Ohio, it’s been frowned upon because that was the rules — and now it’s changing,” Day said. “So having conversation and trying to educate people on where

While the one-year mark of NIL recently passed July 1, programs are still figuring out how to approach the new privileges and their impact on attendance decisions. With Ohio State near the epicenter of conversations surrounding college athletics, Day said he wants to continue evaluating what’s best for the Buckeyes. “I think that we do need to take a hard look at everything that’s going on right now and make sure that we’re doing what’s best for our players and for the schools and for the Big Ten Conference,” Day said.

Someone is Looking for You! There IS a superior intelligence “out there” – and a loving one too. Your Creator wants you to acknowledge Him, and come to know Him and His ways. Don’t be deceived by evolutionism. All creation screams of intelligent design! The odds alone of DNA evolving are virtually nil. Evolutionism is the only “science” that denies the law of degeneration (entropy). God alone is the origin of life, and the true God wants/needs no one to take away life for Him – beware the “god” that does! What is unique about the Bible? It is the only book with fulfilled prophecy (Isaiah 46:9-10). Try (current situation) Psalm 83 and Zechariah 12; (reformation of Israel after nearly 1900 years) Isaiah 66:8, Jeremiah 16:14-15, Amos 9:9-15, Ezekiel 34:12-31, and Ezekiel 36; (suffering/crucifixion of Christ) Psalm 22 and Isaiah 53; (future situation) Zechariah 13:7 – 14:21; (timing of the 2nd Coming of Christ) Joel 3:1-2, 2Peter 3:8/Hosea 5:14 – 6:2. “No one knows the day or the hour!” you cry? The Word says: 1Thessalonians 5:1-6. “Too hard to read and understand” you say? Try the KJV/Amplified/Complete Jewish parallel bible (biblegateway.com). “It’s all in how you interpret it” you say? The Bible, despite numerous transcribers over hundreds of years, is remarkably consistent/coherent and interprets itself (2Peter 1:1621). Beware of modern, liberal translations from “the higher critics” which seriously distort the Word! Finally, if there is a God, why is there so much evil? We have rejected God, and now see what it is like to live in a world where God has permitted us (temporarily) to rule ourselves. Give up your lusts, and come to your Creator and follow His ways (Jude 1:18-25). All that this world has to offer is as nothing compared to what He has in store for those who love Him (1 Corinthians 2:9, John 14:15). Isaiah 55:6-7!
