It’s what they offer and how they go about doing it. Like many other big programs, they offer jobs, housing, free tuition for siblings, transportation, health care for the family, stacks of gift cards literally worth thousands of dollars, senior care for the grandparents that are raising some of those young men. I attended Auburn and everybody knows Auburn takes care of it’s players, but Ohio State is on another level with their benefits.
What surprised me the most was that they also use churches to bag recruits. Bag is given to the Pastor of said church with instructions to give a certain amount to the young man and the rest goes to his ‘congregation’. That’s been going on in the southeast for decades. They have no issues taking care of high school coaches, handlers, parents etc.
5* and some high 4* recruits are paid to get them on campus via parents, high school coaches and handlers etc. All expenses paid. Cash apps cash apps fckn cash apps! Riley was straight up told “there’s always more than one way to skin a cat we get it done for you and your family”.
Ohio State have the backing of Politicians. They are blatant.
