The osu spin machine will kick in anytime someone questions the practice of subsidizing aggie athletics with state money.
Following the poke loss to OU this past season I heard several people including Traber on the radio saying that “osu has arrived” > They said the same thing after the poke cotton bowl loss.

Until osu ends the practice of taking state money for its athletics and starts using it for its academics programs is a lie to say osu football has arrived...... and that's what's so disingenuous about the poke propaganda in our local media.

There are a few members of our media who act as osu protectors. Kelly Ogle and Jim Traber are the 2 biggest, but there are other participants.

But I don't hold out any hope for state tax payers to receive a better deal on their tax money.... as this amount of money is a significant percentage of poke revenue. osu finished 5th in revenue a 10 league conference.


In spite of what the poke propaganda machine says osu athletics has serious revenue issues that appear to be growing significantly worse.
