The Burning Question: How Many Buckeyes Does it Take to Win a National Championship? (Spoiler Alert: We're Not Sure)
Ah, college football season. The crisp autumn air, the roar of the crowd, and the age-old mystery: just how many dudes are suited up for the Ohio State Buckeyes?
Fear not, my fellow Buckeye fanatics, for we delve into the deep (and surprisingly not-so-deep) end of the roster pool.
Here's the Short Answer (For the Impatient Buckeye)
QuickTip: Look for contrasts — they reveal insights.
An NCAA Division I football team is allowed to have a maximum of 85 scholarship players. That's a whole lotta scarlet and gray! But that number can fluctuate throughout the season due to injuries, walk-ons, and, of course, that one guy who decided cheerleading was his true calling (we see you, Brutus Buckeye!).
Hold on There, Buckaroo! But What About Walk-Ons?
Tip: Read mindfully — avoid distractions.
Excellent question, eagle-eyed reader! Walk-ons, those brave souls who fight for a spot without a scholarship, can add to the total number. The exact number of walk-ons can vary, but let's just say there's enough hustle on that field to power a small city.
