Not sure if true... I'll reserve judgment until this story hits ESPN and the other major news sources.
If true, this will definitely be an interesting offseason. It is well known that Ohio State is the only other position that actually has more ties for Bo than NU. It is the biggest threat to poach him out there, regardless of the rules dictating intra-Big 10 coaching changes, and I'm seriously interested to see how he approaches the Buckey gig when it does eventually become available.
