    In todays Columbus Dispatch:

    The Buckeyes' athletics program is the nation's biggest, and so is its deal: IMG College and RadiOhio will pay OSU $110 million over the next 10 years in the largest multimedia-rights guarantee in collegiate sports.

    Gene Smith AD, should be happy along with this one plus the trustees.

    I finally read through the article, I see that it doesn't involve the things that the B10 has a contract for ie...football and basketball TV.

    Looks like you'll get a boost from 6.3M/year currently to 11M/year ...not bad. Does it include a Gator Bowl DVD?
