Ohio State held its annual spring game on Saturday and blew away any sort of attendance competition. The Buckeyes had a crowd of over 100,000 people on hand to watch a glorified scrimmage. Here are the exact numbers:

Here's how impressive that number is compared to other schools:
Ohio State draws 100,189 fans at its spring game. Wow. Only five FBS teams (incl. Buckeyes) averaged more per game in 2015.

100,189 in attendance for a glorified practice at Ohio Stadium...but scholarships for these kids are enough.

I suppose nobody will ever be happy as long as the NCAA exists except. Those Buckeye fans look pretty happy though.
