The Ohio State Buckeyes suffered a major loss on Sunday with defensive coordinator Jim Knowles opting to leave Columbus to take the same position at Penn State.

Coming off a national championship win over Notre Dame last Monday, the Buckeyes are feeling themselves, but the feeling couldn’t have been any more different nearly two months ago when Ryan Day, the Buckeyes’ often-criticized head coach, was nearly run out of town.

Fresh off another national championship, Ohio State has no shortage of elite athletes, but Ryan Day is interested in acquiring one more. NBA superstar LeBron James has offered his services, but he's going to have to earn his spot.
