Ohio State Basketball Reveals New Court Design
The Ohio State Buckeyes basketball program has announced a new court design for Value City Arena at Schottenstein Center that will feature a grey floor surrounded in scarlet trim with an interchangeable mid-court logo.
The midcourt logos include a traditional Block O and a script Buckeyes logo. For the first time in 20 years, the keys will be painted scarlet. Meanwhile, the boundary will feature a mosaic pattern comprised of interlocking Block Os.

“The newly redesigned Ohio State basketball court introduces a recognizable visual update that blends modern aesthetics with nods to tradition,” the program says on its interactive webpage exploring the changes. “The unique look will set the tone for a refreshed game day atmosphere at the Schottenstein Center.”
The website allows fans to look back all the way to 1956 at the many court designs the program has used over the years, as well as the success that came with those home courts.

“Once we landed on these concepts, everyone felt it was a good mix of no one’s going to walk into the building and be like, ‘Oh, I didn’t even notice they changed the court,’” Ohio State’s lead graphic designer Joe Gemma said. “If you’ve come to a game every year for the past 10 years you’ll walk into the arena and immediately recognize that something’s different. I think that was an important part of it.”
The men’s and women’s basketball programs will begin play on the new court starting this season. Season tickets are on sale through the website linked above. Both men’s and women’s programs have not finalized a 2025-26 schedule just yet, so who their first opponents will be on the new court design will be revealed at a later date.
Another state is jumping into the fray to put the brakes on non-domiciled CDLs, with roughly 5,000 commercial drivers in Ohio facing the potential of having their licenses downgraded.
On Friday, May 29, the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles announced it would be contacting approximately 5,000 non-domiciled CDL holders to verify the status of their credentials under updated rules from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
According to the Bureau, non-domiciled license holders in the state will receive one of two notices, depending on the type of documentation they initially used to obtain their CDL.
For drivers whose documentation meets current FMCSA standards, their licenses will remain valid until their expiration date. For those who do not meet current standards, the process is a bit more complicated.
As for CDL holders whose original documents do not meet current FMCSA guidelines, they will receive a notice of downgrade, and their CDLs will be downgraded to a Class D license 30 days after receiving the notice.
Drivers who receive a downgrade notice can request a hearing with the BMV to dispute the downgrade, and can provide additional documentation to prove their eligibility. According to the Bureau, those documents include:
- An unexpired Employment Authorization Document issued by USCIS, valid on the most recent CDL/CLP issuance date
- An unexpired foreign passport with an unexpired USCIS I‑94 form, both of which must be valid on your most recent CDL/CLP issuance date
Officials said the Ohio BMV has not issued or renewed any non-domiciled CDLs since FMCSA put new standards in place in 2025, and that it does not intend to resume issuing non-domiciled CDLs in the future. Additionally, the BMV will not renew revalidated non-domiciled CDLs after they expire.
All notices will be sent by mail to the address listed on file with the Ohio BMV. The Bureau emphasized that the reverification process does not apply to full CDL holders or CDL holders with legally established permanent residence. LL

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSYX) — A Central Ohio family has filed a lawsuit against a Hilliard funeral home after their mother was accidentally cremated, despite plans for her to be buried.
According to court documents, Tidd Funeral Home cremated Nancy Anders in June of last year against the family’s wishes. The lawsuit states Anders died a week earlier in May.
The family says Anders had planned and prepaid for funeral arrangements two years before her death to be buried with her late husband. The arrangements did not include cremation because, the family says, she did not believe in the concept.
The lawsuit says the family was told a week after her death that she had been accidentally cremated. It also accuses Tidd Funeral Home of cremating her even though the proper authorization form was never signed.
The family says they have suffered physical illness and emotional trauma and are seeking $25,000 in damages. They are also asking for the case to be decided by a jury.
ABC 6 reached out to the funeral home for comment but had not heard back.
