A growing number of central Ohio homeowners are cheering for the bucks on weekends when Ohio State plays at home.
They're seeking to cash in on the Buckeyes by renting their houses to visiting fans.
“There’s always people, every Buckeye weekend, to choose from,” said Ben Fannin, who for 18 months has rented out the second floor of his Clintonville home through the rental site Airbnb.
“Football definitely played into my decision because I’m in Clintonville, right off High Street, and people can get to the games easily.”
Almost 400 central Ohio homes can be found on rental sites such as HomeAway, VRBO and Airbnb — up from just a handful five years ago.
