A landmark settlement on Thursday between the NCAA and three federal antitrust cases will pave the way for Ohio State and other major conference members to directly pay their players. The settlement will pay "roughly $2.7 billion in damages to past and current athletes over the next 10 years," per ESPN. But the aspect of the settlement that we will all remember is that the parties have agreed to a revenue-sharing system where schoo...

Jaden Rashida's $10 million lawsuit against Florida, including head coach Billy Napier, is fascinating. We wonder if this is basically a one-off, or perhaps the start of a trend in college football when NIL promises are not kept. Matt Baxendell joins Dave Biddle to discuss that, plus:
* Thoughts on the Buckeyes' 2025 recruiting class and what might transpire over the next two months.
* Ohio State's 2024 offensive line is the bigges...

Is there room at the WRU Inn? Of course there is.
There's been lots of chatter surrounding elite '25 pass catchers Jaime French and Dakorien Moore.
Are the Buckeyes legit contenders for each?
What other receivers rank high on the Hartline Board?
Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter are here to discuss that. Is that all?
Hardly.
We dive deep on Na'eem Offord, Vernell Brown, Trey McNutt, Dorian Brew and others.
And as if that was not enough...

We bounce around to several Ohio State topics on today's show as Dan Rubin joins Dave Biddle. Items on the docket include:
* When we did the show last Monday, the Buckeyes' odds to win the 2024 national championship were +425. That was an improvement over the +500 odds that OSU had in late April. Well, now the odds have improved once again. Ohio State is now listed at +350 to win it all, just barely behind Georgia at +325. Then it'...

Ohio State has not been one of the schools that has gone all in on the transfer portal. Under Ryan Day the last few years, the Buckeyes have continued to focus on adding high school talent and taken a pick-and-choose approach to the transfer portal, finding talent where they need it and filling holes when necessary.
What has made the Scarlet and Gray successful early in the transfer portal era, however, is that Ohio State hasn't lo...

On what is a loaded roster, the biggest question for Ohio State entering the 2024 season is the offensive line. On today's show, Dave Biddle and Steve Helwagen do a deep dive on the Buckeyes' O-line and what to expect out of them this season. What does the projected starting five look like with spring ball a few weeks in the rear view mirror? Who will be the top backups? Is there any chance OSU will add an offensive lineman in the ...

Quality over quantity.
That was the WHAC vibe over the weekend. It wasn't the overflow-type red carpet weekend we often discuss before and after ad nauseam.
No, Ohio State hosted an smaller, elite group that included legitimately high-profile prospects.

It is time for another position breakdown on the show and today Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle do a deep dive on Ohio State's defensive line. What can be expected from this unit in 2024? How will the Buckeyes' D-line measure up against the nation's best? What does the depth look like?
Also, it appears as though those boats were in fact burned. Devin Brown didn't enter the transfer portal. Nor did any of OSU's other four scholarship q...
