Collectives and brand affiliates disbursed "around $20 million" to Buckeye football players this past year, Ohio State athletic director Ross Bjork told Ross Dellenger of Yahoo Sports this week.
Bjork attended Big Ten Media Days with Ohio State head coach Ryan Day, wide receiver Emeka Egbuka, defensive end Jack Sawyer and cornerback Denzel Burke. Like those Buckeyes, Bjork had several interviews at Lucas Oil Stadium, including one where Dellenger asked him to discuss Ohio State's future as college sports enters a new revenue-sharing model. His primary question: Will disbursements of around $20 million continue in Columbus?
