It was announced that Urban Meyer is joining the board of THE Foundation, which is an organization that Cardale Jones made news with and co-founded with Brian Schottenstein to pay basketball and football players to work with charities.
Meyer may have been forced out of the NFL and his opportunity with the Jacksonville Jaguars ended with a certain level of embarrassment, but there is no denying his importance to the history of Ohio State football and his understanding of how to help elevate a college football program.
The NCAA has transformed into the wild wild west with the new Name, Image, and Likeness rules, and THE Foundation’s goal is to help athletes to better navigate these choppy waters.
Urban Meyer will serve on the board of "THE Foundation," a nonprofit that, via NIL, will pay Ohio State football and basketball players to work with charities. https://t.co/t7mlOorKBc
