Ohio State football NIL.
Ohio State — the Buckeyes in Columbus, OH is a Big Ten program in the P4 football NIL market. Ohio State sits in the Big Ten, a P4 football market. Collectives and brand deals here do not move like a Group of 5 leftover or a Power 4 blue-blood — the calculator asks for school on purpose. Premium positions (QB, EDGE, portal guards) move more at Ohio State than a generic athlete tag. Enter position, not just "Ohio State football."
Indicative P4 band: $30,000 – $2,500,000. Not a published Ohio State contract — a market range before you enter stats.
