Join Director of Football Sport Performance Mickey Marotti, the Ohio State football team, emcee Bobby Carpenter, and more at the "Powerhouse" at the arena in this unique, behind-the-scenes event. For the first time ever, Buckeye fans are invited to watch players participate in a weight training session. You won't want to miss this exclusive opportunity.

The 1870 Society is excited to announce the launch of the 10 Units Strong Experience for the 2024 Ohio State Football Spring Game. Fans will be able to bid in an online auction on each coach on the football staff with winners receiving a game day experience for the ages.

Ohio State head football coach Ryan Day, his assistant coaches, and as many as 25 current football team members will participate in a two-hour Open House at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center presented by The 1870 Society from 10 a.m. until 12 noon on Saturday, March 2nd.

Tickets for the event are $250 for an individual admission and a $500 family ticket for two adults and up to three children. All proceeds will support Name, Image, and Likeness fundraising efforts by The 1870 Society.

Change in the NIL landscape is inevitable. The recent news regarding how the IRS views non-profit Collectives is the latest addition to a series of new regulations that we expect will disrupt how Collectives are operated. At The 1870 Society, we anticipated these changes and structured our organization as an LLC from the start.

We are thrilled to introduce you to The 1870 Society, the first for-profit collective established to support Ohio State student-athletes navigating the new world of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) opportunities. The Society is named after the founding year of The Ohio State University, highlighting our dedication to upholding the traditions and values that make Ohio State a world-class institution.

Our mission is simple: to give Buckeye Nation unprecedented, exclusive access to their favorite teams while creating the kind of earning potential and opportunities that Ohio State athletes deserve and have earned.

Whether you're a fan or you represent a business, we know you're going to love the perks, rewards, and promotional opportunities that come with your membership to The 1870 Society.

There's one perk, however, that has us really excited, and every member, regardless membership level, will have access to this perk: The Ryan Day Podcast, exclusively here at The 1870 Society.

The 1870 Society is proud to announce the hiring of Buckeye alum and Ohio native Todd Markiewicz as its new President.

As President of the NIL Collective, Markiewicz will work to drive fans and Ohio businesses to donate and partner with Ohio State student-athletes to bring a more competitive edge in the NIL space.
