This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed Human.

You and I were just sitting here talking.

We figured we just press record, but there's all these things right now on the landscape.

There's like, A, what do you think about the playoff?

B, what do you think about an aisle in the portal?

C, what do you think about the rules and recruiting and stuff?

And we were just kind of talking like, it's not just A, B, C, D, E.

other. So let's just, let's just dive into this. Like your head holistically, as the head coach at

Ohio State on this stuff, is where right now? I think it starts with the players. I think that's

the first thing that I think about is where are our guys right now and all of this?

With all the change, with all the things that are going on,

how is it affecting our players?

And then from there it goes to the what's best

for college football, not just now, but moving forward.

And I think when we start talking about these topics,

like you said, you almost in a silo, but I think when we start talking about these topics, like you said,

I look at it. This is my favorite thing on the planet. College football is my favorite thing on the planet.
