Ohio State Athletics to revenue share starting with four sports
Ohio State Athletics to revenue share starting with four sports College athletics is again going through some seismic shifts, and the latest came from the approved House Settlement last week. It'll significantly alter Name, Image and Likeness, how kids transfer, and more. If programs haven't gotten out in front of what everyone knew was coming, they are already behind. The Ohio State athletic department seems to be one of the programs that has its ducks in a row as another new era in college athletics begins. With athletic departments now expected to distribute funds directly to players, they need to find a way to pay out approximately $20.5 million and allocate those payments across the athletic universe on their college campuses. There's simply no way to pay every athlete in every athletic program where it's worth much, so Ohio State has a plan to start with four sports. OSU Athletic Director Ross Bjork met with the media on Thursday and went deeper into what this House Settlement with the NCAA means, and he touched on revenue pay. According to Bjork, the Buckeye athletic department will begin making payments to football, as well as men's and women's basketball, and lastly, women's volleyball. All of the $20.5 million will count towards scholarships handed out across all sports, but the remaining $18 million will be doled out to these four sports. That's interesting, and for sure football and men's and women's basketball make a lot of sense. I'm sure there was equity between male and female sports discussed here, but you have to wonder why softball wasn't a part of the initial equation -- especially with the rise in popularity. Regardless, it's a starting point and something that could change in the future, but we all know it starts and pretty much ends with football in Columbus, and that will always be the case as the biggest revenue-generating sport that funds all others. At some point, we'll get a look at what each of the athletic departments in the Big Ten and across the country decide to do, and it's important to note that NIL still plays a part, but not as much as it did before without gaining clearance from the Clearing House. It's just another swift change in college athletics, and you can bet the dust has yet to settle.

USC football countdown to kickoff continues—Anthony Muñoz in focus
USC football countdown to kickoff continues—Anthony Muñoz in focus The countdown to USC's 2025 football season is officially on! The Trojans kick off their new campaign 77 days from today. You need something to help you while away the days and hours in the spring and summer. This is one way to do so. In this new series, countdown to kickoff, we will be counting down the days by highlighting a notable Trojan who wore each number. Today, we take a look back at one of the greatest offensive linemen to ever play the game of football, Anthony Muñoz. Position: Offensive line Years played at USC: 1976-1979 Career highlights: Muñoz played at USC from 1976 through 1979. However, he unfortunately dealt with injuries throughout his USC career, and was forced to miss time in three of his four college seasons. Despite this, he was still named a second-team All-American and first-team All-Pac-10 as a junior in 1978. During the first game of his senior season in 1979, Muñoz suffered a knee injury that required surgery and was widely expected to end his season. However, Muñoz defied the odds returning in time for the Rose Bowl against Ohio State. The Trojans won, 17-16, with Heisman Trophy-winning running back Charles White leading the way, spoiling the Buckeyes bid for a perfect season and likely AP national championship. After USC: Sadly, Muñoz did not accomplish much after graduating from USC. All that he did—after being selected third overall in the 1980 NFL draft by the Cincinnati Bengals—was play 13 professional seasons, be selected to 11 Pro Bowls, earn nine first-team All-Pro honors, and win the 1991 NFL Man of the Year (now known as the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year) award. So yeah, a very disappointing resume. Muñoz was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1998. In 2019, he was named to the league's 100th Anniversary All-Time Team. Muñoz is widely considered to be one of the greatest, if not the single greatest, offensive linemen of all-time.
