Are you a student with top-flight writing and a nose for Ohio State football and/or basketball, lacking only an opportunity to have your work showcased on a high visibility affording platform?

While at work (or in class) do you spend the majority of your would-be productive time scanning Twitter and Facebook trying to figure out where Ohio State's non-committable offers are going to land? Do you host an Ohio State-centric YouTube series or podcast you just know would be a hit if only you had the right equipment and an audience?

You're also going to want to include all the essentials in there: Location, contact information, etc. Speaking of which: We're looking for talent from all over, so don't let your location/college of attendance be a detriment.
