COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio State University said apparel partnerships announced Thursday with sportswear company J. America and online retailer Fanatics Inc. guarantee $97 million for scholarships and student groups over the 10-year agreement.

The announcement comes as the school plans to phase in a new business model for Buckeye clothing and headwear. The new model is meant to stabilize a funding base that has been used for hundreds of scholarships for student-athletes and an endowment to support student organizations.
