Aside from the NFL, yes.

It's very rare that I applaud the efforts of another MAC program (that's normally reserved for games against Power 5 conferences)...but this was very, very cool.

You beat me to it. I was going to post the very same thing after viewing the video, but I guess great minds must think alike. As much as I don't like most the things that P.J. does, I'll have to give him credit on this one. I think it was very classy -- not a word I'll probably ever use again in the same sentence as P. J. Fleck.

Ohio awards more scholarships to walkons than almost anyone, and in fact, maybe no one awards more. Yet, somehow, as fans it is impossible to know for sure if a specific player was awarded a scholarship. Ohio seems to always award the scholarships in secrecy. The only advantage I can see to keeping it secret is that it enables them to do 1-year deals; when they have extra money because someone from a recruiting class doesn't show up, they can give it away just for one year without everyone expecting that the scholarship is renewable.
