Ohio State AD Ross Bjork pleads for calendar change in college football

Ohio State's athletic director, Ross Bjork, is calling for changes to the college football calendar, criticizing the overlap of the Transfer Portal period with the end-of-year games. Bjork argues that this overlap is disruptive, particularly for College Football Playoff participants. He suggests that the schedule should separate roster building and game playing into distinct periods, a sentiment shared by several other athletic directors. The current calendar poses challenges not only for Ohio State but for the broader college football landscape, which is also grappling with issues such as NIL regulations and tampering. Despite these challenges, Ohio State remains a strong contender for a national championship in the upcoming season.
