I think that former Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith deserves a ton of credit. When you look at the mens soccer records for Brian M. below, how many athletic directors would have fired the mens soccer coach after 4 years? How many athletic directors would have fired Brian M. after 6 years? 2018 1-15-2 overall 0-7-1 in Big Ten 2019 7-11-1 overall 1-6-1 in Big Ten 2020 3-6-1 overall 3-5-1 in Big Ten 2021 6-9-1 overall 2-6-0 in Big Ten 2022 10-3-5 overall 4-2-2 in Big Ten 2023 6-6-5 overall 3-4-1 in Big Ten Brian M. has certainly justified the faith this year. Lots to credit to retired Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith.

True, but the other teams will not be negatively affected so I think it levels the playing field just a bit.
