I saw this article on FanSided today that paints an interesting picture of Ohio State athletics from the perspective of another great Ohio school that will just never be at the same level.

To quote...

The OSU athletic department has more money than God, and so do their boosters.  It gives the Buckeyes endless advantages in every basically every way imaginable.  They bought their way out of playing this game on the road in Cincinnati for $888,000.  They’ve renovated their stadium into a 107,000-seat Taj Majahl and built countless other state-of-the-art facilities.  They’ve hired top coaches away from other schools, paid them exorbitant salaries, and given them blank checks and private jets for the recruiting trail.  They recruit four- and five-star players to fill every position.  The boosters buy these kids cars, pay their phone bills, and give them free tattoos, and the coaches cover it up to keep winning.  As if getting to play on National TV in the Horseshoe every week and being worshiped by hordes of mindless Buckeye fans wasn’t enough.

It's about time someone recognized Ohio Stadium for what it is... the Taj Mahal of football ; )
