We are not going to free help like UO.
But, we have two potential partnerships that could help.
NVIDIA CEO, Founder, and OSU Alum kicked in $50 million for an engineering building where they have a program in gaming software development. Their GeForce chip is a key part of gaming systems.
OchoCinco has a boatload of Twitter and Instagram followers and played with Coach Smith.
Between the two of them they have over 10 million twitter and Instagram followers.
Coach Prime has 1.7 million twitter followers. Nike has about 18 million follower on twitter and instagram.
Pay the two to be brand ambassadors. Have OchoCinco at big games. Integrate football team members into prototype gaming systems.
Colorado paid a premium to Coach Prime to get his personal brand value. We need to pay as well.

Not sure if OSU would do that considering so.e past allegations. |

Chad was here such a short time, and it was so long ago, I'm not sure he'd remember how to get to the buildings where his classes were held.

Chad Sr. posted once on Twitter about seeing Coach Smith on the UW sidelines. His son visited OSU during his recruitment. Chose ASU. Now Chad Jr. lists occupation as "Full-Time Call of Duty" on social media. Gaming and NVIDIA are big deals these days.
