Nothing new. Dispatch did the same story a few years ago as the old AD left.

College sports is a business now, the recent conference debates proves that. OSU, as the largest university in the country, is utilizing its base. But, unlike other sports, money doesn't buy you championships, just puts you in contention. OSU has been in contention nearly every year since 2002.

Ultimately, it is reality of today's world.

OSU spent 32 million to gross 68 million. Seems pretty good to me.
