The Ohio State football program is continually noted as one of the most valuable in all of college football, There are times when OSU has been No.1 (depending on what year and publication), but almost always, it is considered to be among the top ten.
With such a large alumni base, fan following, and success on the field, it’s hard to find too many programs that are as valuable as the one sitting on the banks of the Olentangy River.
