When the @cavs win the #NBA title it's a nice reminder for the Bucks what it takes to win championships. #AllIn216 https://t.co/Ub6g08idMh

As if Urban Meyer had any trouble motivating his team already, the three-time national champion found a new well of inspiration to dive into Monday.
After watching Ohio's own Cleveland Cavaliers complete an improbable comeback to capture the NBA championship the night before, Meyer used the tale of the Cavs' run to begin what he hopes is a new one for Ohio State.
The Buckeyes, two years removed from their last national title, begin the 2016 campaign Sept. 3 versus Bowling Green.
