Lawsuit: Ohio State reporters skimmed NIL money to players

[MeanGreenATO]

Mercifully, the era of the seedy bagman lives in today's NIL climate. Unfortuantely, it also furthers the stereotype of folks who work at fan sites.

According to a lawsuit filed in Georgia, two Ohio State reporters apparently admitted that they took a cut of ad/revenue dollars aimed at paying Ohio State players for appearances. There is absolutely a lot to unpack, but we might have the first instance of something like this occurring.

Only in college football.

Those who work for fan sites have the burden of proof. Their work is illegitimate until proven otherwise.
