Ex-Ohio State Coach Delivers Verdict on Arch Manning's Reported $6.5 Million NIL Valuation
Ex-Ohio State Coach Delivers Verdict on Arch Manning's Reported $6.5 Million NIL Valuation originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The NIL deals being signed by college athletes continue to climb, and in most cases, it's not about raw talent, but rather about players with high visibility who have built up a brand. Advertisement One such example is Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning, who hasn't yet made a significant impact on the field, but with his family's pedigree, everyone already knows his name and expects a lot from this 21-year-old. During a recent episode of the "Bobby Carpenter Show," Anthony Schlegel, who has had two stints with the Ohio State Buckeyes, his alma mater, as an assistant strength and conditioning coach, predicted Manning would have to lead the nation in NIL valuations. "People that were returning that would require the dollar amount, Arch Manning would be that guy," said Carpenter as he was trying to recall the best players in the sport. Schlegel and Carpenter were reviewing a top 10 list of college football players and discussing how Manning was ranked at No. 1 with a $6.5 million valuation. Carpenter, another Ohio State alumnus who played for the Buckeyes from 2002 to 2005, pointed out Manning's NIL total comes from endorsements only, not from Texas' boosters.

Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Diggins / Austin American-Statesman / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images In April, Manning and clothing brand Vuori agreed to a deal that sent his valuation to its current estimate. Texas is projected to have spent somewhere between $35 and $40 million on NIL deals, according to Kirk Bohls of the Houston Chronicle. In his report, Bohls quoted a source that believes these years of big spending won't last, even among the nation's best programs. 'It's just unsustainable,' the source said via Bohls. 'The next season after this year, the whole world will be back to reality.'

Former Ohio National Guardsman sentenced for sexually abusing minor
A former Ohio National Guardsman will spend more than two decades in prison after a jury convicted him of sexually assaulting a minor. Steven Vicario, 40, has been found guilty by a Delaware County Common Pleas Court jury of two counts of rape, two counts of sexual battery and one count of tampering with evidence. The jury acquitted Vicario of one count of rape and one count of sexual battery. On Wednesday, county Common Pleas Court Judge James Schuck sentenced Vicario to 25 to 30½ years in prison. According to court records, the 14-year-old victim told a forensic interviewer in November 2023 that Vicario had sexually assaulted her. Court records state DNA evidence was collected through a sexual assault examination kit, which found Vicario's DNA on the victim. Vicario also threw out a bottle of lubricant that had been used during the assault, court records say. Vicario served as a Lt. Col. with the Adjutant General's Department of the Ohio National Guard, court records say. The Ohio National Guard confirmed on Wednesday that Vicario had been on an indefinite suspension after being charged in April 2024. Following his conviction, the National Guard has started the process to terminate Vicario and separate him, a Guard spokesperson said. As part of his sentence, Vicario will be required to register as a Tier III sexual offender, meaning he will have to register his address every 90 days for the rest of his life. bbruner@ This article originally appeared on The Columbus Dispatch: Ex-Ohio National Guardsman sentenced for sexually abusing minor
