According to a report from Tony Paul of The Detroit News, Ohio State has added Western Michigan to its non-conference schedule for the 2024 season.

The Buckeyes will pay the Broncos $1.8 million to play the game, which will likely take place on Sept. 7, as it is currently an open week for both programs.

Ohio State is set to begin the 2024 season against Southern Miss on Aug. 31. The Buckeyes also travel to Washington on Sept. 14 for the front end of a home-and-home with the Huskies before getting into Big Ten play.

This will mark just the second meeting between Ohio State and Western Michigan, with the Buckeyes cruising to a 38-12 win over the Broncos on Sept. 26, 2015.
