Iowa a big test for Buckeyes? | NIL dispute at UNLV dawn of a new day? Or an outlier?

Bucknuts Morning 5: An Ohio State athletics podcast

Ohio State will host Iowa on Saturday (3:30 p.m. ET; CBS) and the No. 3 Buckeyes (4-0, 1-0 Big Ten) are down to being a 20.5-point favorite over the Hawkeyes (3-1, 1-0). The spread opened at 23, quickly dropped to 21.5 and continues to move Iowa's way. Do we expect this to be a tight contest for Ohio State, or will the Buckeyes be able to overwhelm a very solid Hawkeye squad?

Matt Baxendell and Dave Biddle discuss that on today's show, plus:

* We react to the high points from OSU's press conference yesterday that featured head coach Ryan Day, plus coordinators Chip Kelly and Jim Knowles.

* In a story that has made national headlines over the last week, quarterback Matthew Sluka left UNLV after three games over an NIL dispute. The coaches and the school's main collective deny any promises were made. Regardless of that, is Sluka's situation the start of something big in college football? Will we see more and more players do this? Or will this likely be more of an outlier?

All of that and much more is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.
