Memorial Day edition: What will the future of college football look like?
Welcome to the Memorial Day edition of the Bucknuts Morning 5. First and foremost, our deepest gratitude for all of the men and women who gave their lives fighting for our country. They are the heroes. And they allow us to do things like enjoy college football.

Schools can now pay players directly | What this means for OSU, future of college sports
A landmark settlement on Thursday between the NCAA and three federal antitrust cases will pave the way for Ohio State and other major conference members to directly pay their players. The settlement will pay "roughly $2.7 billion in damages to past and current athletes over the next 10 years," per ESPN. But the aspect of the settlement that we will all remember is that the parties have agreed to a revenue-sharing system where schools can pay up to $20 million to their players.
But how will that $20 million be divided? Will the football players get the vast majority of that money, since they are the ones generating the most revenue? And will it be equally distributed among all players? Will the star players get more? And how exactly would that be determined?
Yes, we have a lot of questions about this. Another one being ... what is going to happen to a lot of the non-revenue sports? Are we going to look up 5 or 10 years from now and see far less non-revenue sports across collegiate athletics? Also: Are we headed down a path where the Big Ten and SEC break away from the NCAA?
Dave Biddle and Jonah Booker discuss all of that and much more on the Friday 5ish.

Rashida lawsuit v Florida start of a trend? | Buckeye 'crootin updates | O-line optimism?
Jaden Rashida's $10 million lawsuit against Florida, including head coach Billy Napier, is fascinating. We wonder if this is basically a one-off, or perhaps the start of a trend in college football when NIL promises are not kept. Matt Baxendell joins Dave Biddle to discuss that, plus:
* Thoughts on the Buckeyes' 2025 recruiting class and what might transpire over the next two months.
* Ohio State's 2024 offensive line is the biggest question mark on the team. But is there reason for optimism when analyzing the Buckeyes' O-line?
All of that and much more is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.
