Ohio State is ready to win it all this upcoming college football season.
The school has spent over $20 million on football coaches for next season and it’s because it’s ready to win the Big Ten and the College Football Playoff.
“I probably put a significant burden on Ross with the budget because I was playing poker with football. Went all in,” OSU athletic director Gene Smith said, via Eleven Warriors. “Where we are with football and not winning Big Ten championships, I wanted to make sure that we did everything we could to make sure football has a real chance next year.”
OSU has gone three straight seasons without winning the Big Ten. Instead, the program has had to watch Michigan win the conference each time since it lost three years in a row to its biggest rival.
The Buckeyes are hoping to change that this year since they have a lot of their top players coming back, along with Ryan Day as head coach, Chip Kelly as offensive coordinator, and Jim Knowles as defensive coordinator.
Not many programs can boast that type of coaching staff in college football but the Buckeyes can They’re locked and loaded heading into next year.
