...But to say it didn't really have an impact is just wrong in my opinion. Unfortunately, cable doesn't do ratings like network TV. So I'm not sure you can get a hard number on how many people tuned in on those STO, FSO, ONN networks. But the fact that Ohio athletics had that out there and no other school in the MAC (or other mid-majors on Ohio's level) had anything close to it .... it was a great marketing/recruiting tool. ...
This doesn't prove cause and effect, but it certainly seems that there was an uptick in in-state recruiting over the next couple years after "Relentless" was aired, and that the instate success has tapered off as we have gotten further away from it. Also, isn't that about the time that Ohio moved to the top of the MAC in attendance?
