I hate to see you leave, Bill. Iâve been a big fan from afar for years. My very best wishes on this new adventure. Trust me, itâs a big sea filled with possibilities. Tx for years of great coverage!.
I have some personal news to share. This is the last Ohio State game I will cover for the Dispatch. I've accepted the company-wide Gannett buyout. I am not retiring. I will continue to cover the team as thoroughly as ever, but I will do so on Substack. More details on that later.

The @heraldleader's reporting on accusations against Rep. Daniel Grossberg last year was exhaustive, in-depth, fair and (most important) factual. Those who came forward + shared their stories with us were courageous + offered well-documented details of his behavior. Today's.
