The NIL era has changed everything. One potential positive (aside from players finally being able to exercise some control over their own brand and image) is that we're finally getting some market transparency when it comes to the value of talent.
Ryan Day says, for example, that a star quarterback is currently worth about $2 million, and that his team needs roughly $13 million in NIL money each season to stay competitive. In a functioning market economy, that's useful information to have!
Is Ohio State doing what it takes to stay competitive in that marketplace, though? The Dubcast will put on its collective thinking cap to analyze this important question.
We'll also take a minute to laugh at Michigan's latest attempt to be relevant by ripping off one of Ohio State's greatest traditions, and lament the fact that pseudo-rival Penn State isn't invoking one of the sport's coolest traditions in its annual meeting with the Buckeyes.
Plus, Ask Us Anything wants to know where we'd plop ourselves if we could go anywhere and anywhen in history, our favorite doughnut, and which former assistant/coordinator makes us irrationally angry. Oh, and an important reminder: you can ask us all kinds of fantastical things by sending us questions to dubcast@elevenwarriors.com!
RUN OF THE SHOW
0:00 Andy's back! Quick update on where our intrepid co-host has been the past two weeks and how his offspring earned her first natty.
2:50 Ohio State rolled out a new NIL initiative. Ryan Day says it's going to take $13 million per year to make the magic happen; is the school doing what it takes in this new era?
9:25 That School Up North rips off one of Ohio State's greatest traditions. Let's all mock them accordingly! On the other hand, no White Out at Penn State this year. Boo them too!
21:30 Sports gambling is coming to the Buckeye State... after college football is mostly over for the year. Will legalized betting mean anything to the sport and the state?
26:05 Ask Us Anything delves into our favorite doughnuts, where and when we'd like to relocate in history, and which former assistant or coordinator we'd like to beat with their own arms.
And that'll do it! Thanks as always to you for listening and checking out the Dry Goods store, thanks to Travis for the cool logo, and we'll see you next week!
