Once again, it has been another eventful day in Ohio State athletics. Buildings are over budget (and construction hasn't even started yet), one Buckeye draftee gets praise from a Super Bowl winning teammate and a top recruit trims his potential college home down to six – and Ohio State is one of them.

Like any new building or project, there are costs associated.
