For Ross Bjork, who took over as athletic director earlier this year, Ohio State’s mission extends beyond athletics. Since his arrival, he has emphasized character, leadership, and community impact as cornerstones of Buckeye culture.
When asked what inspired the donation, Bjork referenced a visit he made earlier this month to a local orphanage in Franklin County. “I met kids who dream big but don’t always have the opportunities to chase those dreams,” he said. “That’s when I promised myself — the next big win wouldn’t just be about football; it would be about them.”
