“Not playing for NIL deals. Not playing to go viral. Not playing for TikTok,” (Nolan) Smith said. “Playing for the guy next to you and being able to push with him through tough situations. I would love for the guys to take that into next year. Don’t play for money. Play for your ‘why’ — why you play football.”-- The Athletic, 7/20/22
Hold on a sec………………..I’m sure the NCAA will investigate as this could be considered an extra benefit.
Per Ohio State Compliance website…….”NCAA rules prohibit student-athletes from receiving “extra benefits.” An extra benefit is any special arrangement provided to a prospective or current student-athlete or his or her family/friends that is not generally available to all Ohio State students. Providing a prospective or current student-athlete with an extra benefit may affect their eligibility and result in an NCAA violation.”

McGarity is preparing a statement on this as we type. Surely someone on our team needs punishment.

I’ve always wondered who the clueless idiot was that thought “butt smear” sounded good for an athletic facility. Or maybe it’s just that they were clever enough to get it past a clueless AA board.

It’s not an extra benefit for a player. All of the Butts at Ohio State are eligible for this and there are a lot of them up there.

Funny, but the “Charmin” rolls were composed of $100 bills, not lightweight tissue paper. Test market I guess.
