@KingJames - If you never enrolled full-time in college and didn’t compete in the sport that you want to play after HS graduation, you could have eligibility remaining. If you professionalize in one sport, you can still be considered an amateur in another. Would love to help you!

Shocked and saddened by the devastating news about Dwayne. He was a legend on the field and truly a tremendous human being. Prayers to the Haskins’ family.

There is not doubt Chase Young has earned the right to be in New York and win the Heisman. If it is for the most outstanding player in college football. He is certainly that!! #GoBucks

I’ve been blessed to witness greatness in players when I played, coached and as an administrator. There is no question in my mind that Marvin Harrison Jr is one of the best ever and the best player in all of college football this year.

Just want to clarify: The number of fans we could host in Ohio Stadium this fall under physical distance guidelines could be as low as 22k, but also may be as many as 40-50k if guidelines are relaxed.

The accusations made today by Brett McMurphy regarding our coach and the reasons for the transfer of Trevon Grimes are unequivocally false. Urban Meyer embraces diversity and would absolutely never support an environment of racism. It simply isn’t tolerated here... MORE>>>
