Ohio State has held a job fair for its football players since 2013, but over the past couple of years, that event has also evolved into an opportunity for players to explore potential NIL deals.
This year’s Career Fair and NIL Expo was held Tuesday night at the Covelli Center, where representatives from more than 40 companies – ranging from major national corporations like Amazon, McDonald’s and Microsoft to local organizations like Boren Brothers (led by former Ohio State football players Zach and Justin Boren) and the nonprofit NIL collective Cohesion Foundation – were on hand to talk to the Buckeyes about jobs, internships and/or NIL opportunities available with their respective companies.
