08:06 AM ET 07.23 | There aren't many Heat fans in Ohio these days, but one of them comes with a more than a little name recognition. Urban Meyer, who is entering his first season at Ohio State, has become an admirer of the Heat organization, and its coach. Meyer was one of the collegiate coaches -- in basketball or football -- that Erik Spoelstra consulted last offseason. ... Meyer has a connection to LeBron James, too, one that goes beyond James' fondness for the Buckeyes. "I offered him a scholarship when he was a sophomore in high school at St. Vincent St. Mary's," Meyer said. "I was at Notre Dame. He was a receiver, and I was a receiver's coach." How good was he? "Great."

I heard Oscar Mayer is naming a sandwich meat after him...think it comes with a free gigantic headband to cover one's balding hairline.

LeBron's got plenty of money, multiple MVP's, a Olympic Gold Medal and a ring. Now it is time for him to go to college... a scholly to OSU now to play football!

Wow! Talk about a slow news day. Maybe something on the statue coming down? No. Ten years after the fact, lets talk about LeBron James playing wide receiver for the domers.

About the Statue didn't they just move it inside the building? I don't get the point of doing that they should've just destroyed that trash!

How about giving my son a scholarship? Don't care if he learns anything. It's time for him to move out of my house but doesn't understand what that means!

I think he should go to Akron U instead.

The worst part about this is I got here by clicking on a link about Mo Rivera reconsidering his comeback. Bad intern, bad!
