I was just wondering something since the season is over. In past years, graduating seniors and guys going into the draft would go around to Buckeye stores and sign autographs. Does anyone know if they will still be doing this under Urban's control or was this a JT thing?

“Right now, Michigan is not at the pinnacle of college football, and that’s all Urban Meyer cares about...He’s been there and knows what it takes to get there.”
It's not an Urban thing and it wasn't a Tressel thing. It's a senior Buckeye that wants to make money thing. These autograph sessions are put on by promoters that will pay each player around $1000 to sign autographs for a couple hours. The promoter then charges for these autographs and keeps the money he brings in. It's usually a win-win for everyone involved. The players and promoters make money, and Buckeye fans leave with autographs from some of their favorite players.
Or, in the case of the Toledo Walleye hockey team, they are paying Z. Boren to make an appearance and sign autographs that are free to the public.
I've seen other info that Boren, Howard, Stoneburner, Fragel, Sabino and Simon have also done the autograph signing gig.
