Good morning, Powell. Technology troubles have turned campus dining into an unexpected adventure as a GrubHub app crash left hungry Ohio State students facing the unthinkable: actually standing in line for food. The Amazon Web Services outage that struck Monday morning has sidelined mobile ordering, robot deliveries, and even the university's online learning system, with officials warning of longer wait times, particularly during the dinner rush.
Meanwhile, the playing field is changing for talented young athletes across Ohio. A Franklin County judge has temporarily opened the door for high school sports stars to cash in on their fame through Name, Image and Likeness deals—a ruling that could potentially transform prep athletics. In development news, University Square is leveling up with plans for a hotel, apartments, and a rooftop bar, further expanding campus-area amenities through a collaboration between OSU's Campus Partners and Crawford Hoying.

🍔 GrubHub app crash leaves hungry students scrambling for alternatives. The popular food ordering service went down Monday morning due to an Amazon Web Services outage that also affected Ohio State's online learning system. Students cannot place mobile orders, request robot deliveries, or order reusable boxes at campus dining locations. However, in-person ordering remains available through kiosks and BuckID payments at cashier terminals, though university officials warn to expect longer wait times, especially during evening hours. The outage began around 11 a.m., with no timeline for when services will be restored.
💰 Ohio high school athletes can now profit from their fame. A Franklin County judge granted a 45-day temporary restraining order allowing Ohio high schoolers to make Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) deals. The ruling came after the family of Ohio State recruit Jamier Brown sued the OHSAA, claiming he was missing out on over $100,000 in potential deals. A preliminary injunction hearing is scheduled for December 15, with the OHSAA expected to provide more details to its membership about what this means for future voting.
🏨 Ohio State campus expansion adds hotel and apartments to University Square. The next phase of development at University Square will feature a hotel, apartments, and additional dining options including a rooftop bar. OSU's Campus Partners and Dublin-based Crawford Hoying are collaborating on the 2.5-acre project. The development will be built behind University Square North and South, expanding the campus-area amenities. A parking garage is also planned as part of the comprehensive mixed-use development.
