How the Ohio State football program will deal with revenue sharing

Ohio State announced that they will be participating in full revenue sharing across all sports. That includes the Ohio State football team. It also includes all women's sports as well. They will pay out as much as $22 million across all of the different sports that the Buckeyes have.

NIL collectives will be there to help fund the rest of the sports once funds run out from the revenue brought in. Those collectives will likely get money for the Ohio State football program. So how will the revenue sharing affect the Buckeyes on the football field?

Ohio State will have several players who are making a large amount of money just on NIL deals alone. Add in the fact that revenue sharing comes in as well, and the Buckeyes are all of a sudden a very expensive team. It's not something that should be too big of an issue though.

From all reports, NIL collectives around the Ohio State football program have stepped up to help bring in recruits and keep current players happy. Between the collectives and the revenue sharing, there is no reason prospects shouldn't be happy with what they are making.

The Buckeyes are going to need both of them in order to keep everyone on board. This is not a problem that is unique to them either. Every football program in the country is having to deal with this, especially major college football programs competing for a national championship.

Revenue sharing is a good thing in college athletics. It's good that the athletes get a cut of what they produce. I do see some sports being cut, even at Ohio State, just because programs can't afford them anymore. That will take some time to sort out though.
