The Ohio State Buckeyes football team, representing Ohio State University, is a powerhouse in the Big Ten Conference, playing its home games at the massive 102,780-seat Ohio Stadium since 1922. The program claims nine national championships, 41 conference titles, and seven Heisman Trophy winners, including Archie Griffin, the only player in history to win the award twice. Founded in 1890, the team initially struggled—losing its first home game 64-0—but rose to prominence in 1916 under star player Chic Harley, whose record crowds necessitated the construction of their iconic stadium. As of 2025, the program is valued at $2–2.5 billion, making it the most valuable college football program in the nation. Known for its Brutus Buckeye mascot and a fierce rivalry with the Michigan Wolverines, the Buckeyes remain a dominant and culturally significant force in American sports.
