Ohio State has officially entered a new era.

The Buckeyes announced a landmark partnership with JPMorganChase, making the financial giant the official bank partner of Ohio State Athletics and the first jersey patch sponsor in school history across all 36 varsity sports. It’s another sign that the business of college athletics continues to evolve, and Ohio State isn’t just keeping up—it’s helping shape where the industry is headed.

Jeremy rides solo on today’s episode as Coach Slate gets a well-earned night off after another long evening on the practice field and in the meeting rooms. Jeremy breaks down why this partnership matters beyond the logo on the jersey, what it says about Ohio State’s financial position in the new college athletics landscape, how it could impact NIL opportunities, and why fans may need to rethink what tradition looks like moving forward.

Whether you love the move or hate seeing a corporate patch on the Scarlet and Gray, one thing is certain: college athletics isn’t going back to the old model. Ohio State is positioning itself to stay at the front of the pack.

Ohio State isn’t standing still.

We also discuss the next phase of improvements coming to Ohio Stadium, why these investments matter in the NIL and revenue-sharing era, and how facilities remain one of the biggest recruiting tools in college football.

On the recruiting trail, the Buckeyes added another familiar name as Jett Harrison, the nation’s No. 1 receiver in the 2028 class, committed to Ohio State, while five-star cornerback Moshanna Torbert chose Michigan over the Buckeyes.
