THE Foundation - (OSU NIL) hires Urban Meyer

I'm totally shocked!

And what role will Cayman Nebraska be hired for???

If you take a detached view of this, it's a great move.

Who knows more about various ways to funnel cash to players than Urban?

Gross. Wholly unsurprising. 

OH BOY! We all know he's going to squeeze all he can out of it.

I honestly thought "THE Foundation" was a 90s R&B band initially, so Meyer joining that seemed off-kilter for him.

But it makes sense he'd work for this part of OSU. It'll hopefully keep him away from coeds and just deal with money, which seems to be the thing the asshole is good at.

Brilliant move on their part,rotten cheating SOB's.This is similar to FDR appointing Joseph Kennedy to head up the SEC(NTSEC).He said that it took a crook to catch a crook,(paraphrasing of course).

I think it should be in the rules of grammar that you cannot use Urban's name in the same sentence as honest,ethical etc.

Considering this guy's personal track record and career trajectory?

At some point, this is going to end in a spectacular way that will have us all saying, "only Urban could flame out like that".

Just watch ...

so this is what 'no shame' really looks like for an alleged college?  

yep.  i guess so.  self-owned cooler poopers.  

Motherfucker

Give Urban credit for branching out from bad relationship management, lying to the media, ineffective marriage counseling, and turning a blind eye to criminal behavior.  He's turning over a new leaf to sharpen his skills on embezzlement, mail and wire fraud, and offshore banking. 

This guy is like the Terminator. He just won’t go away, doesn’t stop.  He’s the perfect shady bastard to run it. I’m sure he’ll do well, he has the skills.

BTW - it’s named “THE Foundation”.  
LOL. It should be THEEE Foundation. They forgot some E’s.  Why not go all in?

First NIL deal has something to do with hot dogs.

On one hand, I am completely shocked.  Seems like "Bad Sports Look of the Year" is a lock for OSU now.

On the other, not surprised in the slightest bit.  Entirely on-brand for them. 

No way!!!

No shame...zero

If I'm not mistaken, OSU's AD Gene Smith runs the company OSU is using to manage it's NIL program. 

This program is a completely different org. They reference themselves as a "fund" to "hopefully" get athletes more involved in charity work. They also repeatedly point out Urban Meyer's recruiting capability. I'm guessing the plan if for him to go on recruiting visits with the coaches to talk about how much money the player needs to sign with OSU and then sends a check from the fund.

So, the AD runs the org connecting student athletes with potential NIL deals and Urban Meyer is the only board member of an org which is basically a fund to pay athletes who may or may not have to do charity work in exchange.

I'm all for letting athletes get paid for their NIL, but this is beyond stupid. 

Ohio State is kinda becoming a parody of itself. Not only calling their NIL company "THE" Foundation, but also hiring Urban Meyer? Come on now

"The THE Foundation"?  

Only a university like OSU would take the function word "the" for their name.  

Assuring each University that all things being equal, “Urban has given us his word to do all things by the book, in an ethical and respectful manner!”  
Signed,

What could possibly go wrong with this arrangement? Puts Urban closer to the action in Columbus. Can't imagine how long it will be before he's on staff again. Corruption corrupts absolutely. It's only a matter of time. Big Ten network looking for Urban to be back in their studio again, as well.

I feel like this is a Saturday Night Live skit. It is, isn't it.

I wonder if Gene Smith is worried again that Urban is going to fire him.

I'm sure assisting Coach Day with analyzing Michigan film is an unofficial part of his job description. 

Guess its all about the brand. 

Brooksie with clutch rebound and fouls out Stevens.  Wrong thread.
