Ohio State has hired Ross Bjork, the former Texas A&M athletic director, to replace Gene Smith as the new athletic director for the Buckeyes. Bjork, known for his fundraising skills, has faced controversy during his career, including overseeing the Freeze scandal and NCAA investigation at Ole Miss and rewarding Jimbo Fisher with a hefty contract before firing him at Texas A&M. Ohio State's operating revenues rank among the highest in the country, and Bjork will begin his tenure on July 1, succeeding Smith, who served as the Buckeyes' athletic director for 18 years.
