NO CUTTING SPORTS? Gene Smith said earlier this month that Ohio State had no plans to cut any sports "at the moment." That seemed a little too optimistic after Stanford cut 11 of its 36 sports as Ohio State – the only program that sponsors more sports – sitting there with 37.
But there's a solid chance Ohio State won't have to cut any sports after all, even without a football season.
“It's a mask for, we have to spend money on all of these other things,” said David Ridpath, associate professor of sport management at Ohio University and a leading voice on college sports reform.
