We have been touting Ohio State's offensive line as a strength all offseason and we still feel that way. But it is interesting that Austin Siereveld is exclusively repping at left tackle right now, with Phillip Daniels and Ethan Onianwa apparently battling it out for the right tackle spot. Onianwa is also receiving some reps inside at guard. The media spoke with OL coach Tyler Bowen yesterday to get his thoughts, and this situation is the main topic of today's show with Dave Biddle and Matt Baxendell.

Can you be still basking in the glow of the national championship, while simultaneously being concerned with Ohio State's recruiting efforts?

Well, it did not take long for the College Sports Commission's "NIL Go" clearinghouse to make waves. According to the director of Utah State's collective, Dalton Forsythe, "nearly 100 percent of collective-backed NIL deals are being denied, regardless of size or structure. The College Sports Commission has taken the position that collectives cannot serve a 'valid business purpose' — a standard that was never clearly communicated before implementation." On today's show, Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle discuss this situation and what might be coming down the pike. If an athlete's NIL deal is rejected -- and he challenges that ruling in a court of law -- the athlete would likely prevail, right? Or does the House settlement actually have teeth, allowing the clearinghouse to reject any and all deals from collectives? We also discuss how much Ohio State will miss Will Howard this season at quarterback -- particularly his ability in the RPO game and his leadership -- and much more.
