Which comes first: football natty, women’s Final 4, men’s Elite 8?

If you have a question that you would like to ask, you can tweet us @LandGrant33 or if you need more than 280 characters, send an email HERE .
Now that both the men’s and women’s basketball seasons are officially in the rearview mirror, we here at Land-Grant Holy Land are starting to look forward. One of the conversations that has circled around both of the Ohio State basketball programs in recent years has had to do with what their respective ceilings are. That is not only a question about the roster and coaching staff, but also the investment in the programs by the OSU athletic department.
There is obviously no question that Ohio State is a football school first and foremost. But is it so much of a football school that the commitment to Ryan Day’s program sucks away the resources that would otherwise allow the hoops teams to succeed? That question is essentially at the heart of this week’s fan survey.
We want to know which of the three primary programs at Ohio State will achieve an arbitrary goal first. So, take a look at the question below, and vote in the survey. If you want to dive a bit deeper into your answer, feel free to do so in the comments at the bottom of the page.
Then check back later this week to see the result. Then after that, if you are feeling really good in your prognosticating skills, you should head over to the FanDuel Sportsbook and use your big, beautiful brain to win some money, since they are sponsoring this article. Question 1: What happens first?
