5-Star WR and Elite OL Headline Ohio State’s Third OV Weekend
Bucknuts is offering a 60% discount on VIP memberships to mark the start of the official visit season. This limited-time promotion, available for new annual members and monthly members upgrading to annual, provides access to Ohio State recruiting coverage and a free Paramount+ account after the trial period.
The promotion remains active until 11:59 p.m. ET on June 15, 2026, according to the offer terms. 247Sports.com reserves the right to alter or cancel the promotion at any time.
Why is Bucknuts offering a VIP membership discount?
The discount coincides with the arrival of the official visit season. The offer targets fans seeking inside information on commits, breakdowns of prospects, and insights into coaching staff thinking regarding players.

Members gain unlimited access to Buckeyes beat writers Dave Biddle, Steve Helwagen, and Patrick Murphy, who bring over 50 years of combined experience to the coverage.
What benefits come with a Bucknuts VIP subscription?
Subscribers receive recruiting coverage from Garrick Hodge, Mark Porter, and a 247Sports network crew that includes Director of Scouting Andrew Ivins and Tom Loy. Basketball recruiting is covered by Adam Finkelstein, Travis Branham, and Eric Bossi.
The subscription includes access to “The Front Row,” described as the top Ohio State message board community for sharing inside information. Opinion pieces are provided by contributors Matt Baxendell and Jonah Booker.
How does the Paramount+ integration work?
Because Bucknuts is part of the CBS umbrella, members are eligible for a free Paramount+ account after their trial period ends. This access is significant because CBS holds significant rights for Big Ten football and basketball, including select games exclusive to Paramount+.
A separate option allows users to receive a free Paramount+ Premium subscription immediately if they purchase a full-priced one-month VIP subscription to Bucknuts.
What may happen next?
New annual members could see a surge in site activity as the official visit season progresses. Because the offer is limited, some users may choose to upgrade from monthly to annual plans before the June 2026 deadline.
Depending on the 247Sports.com terms, the promotion could be altered or canceled before the expiration date. Users with questions may contact [email protected].
