If you thought Kirk Herbstreit just somewhat liked Ohio State football, think again. He’s a self-proclaimed “junkie.”

Kirk Herbstreit and Ohio State's fan base have an interesting relationship these days. The ESPN college football announcer played collegiately at Ohio State. His dad, Jim Herbstreit, also played at the school and later coached under Woody Hayes.

While speaking with NFL draft analyst Todd McShay, Herbstreit urged a major rule change in college football. Amid the first-ever 12-team College Football Playoff, Herbstreit spoke on various topics in the college football world, such as NIL, the postseason and overpowering of conferences.
