Action has resumed on the gridiron, with Ohio State football playing two home games over the past two weeks — only one of which were victories. While we won’t go into the X’s and O’s of Ohio State’s lackluster performances the previous few weeks, what we do need to note is what football means for the basketball program — a very shiny recruiting tool.
Ohio State home football games are the biggest events that Chris Holtmann and his coaching staff can base their official visits around — a way to show recruits how serious Ohio State fans are about sports, what a great college town Columbus is, and, let’s face it, how much fun it is to be a student at THE Ohio State University.
