The Ohio State football program takes a lot of things seriously. They obviously take their work on the field seriously, which is why they have been so successful. The Buckeyes have won three national titles in the last 22 years, which is something very few other programs can claim.
Of course, the Ohio State Buckeyes take their off-the-field things seriously, as well. Coaches make sure that players behave well when they are not at practice or playing in games. The players are expected to perform well in the classroom, as well.
Former Ohio State receiver Mylan Graham kicked up a fuss when he took a shot at Ohio State's academics in a recent interview.
