After leading Ohio State to the national title, Buckeyes' coach Ryan Day has agreed to a new contract that is set to make him the country's second-highest paid head coach.
Ohio State announced on Thursday morning that Day and the school have agreed to a new seven-year deal. The school said the deal will be valued at "$12.5 million in total annual compensation," which means he'll make a $12.5 million base salary annually for the entire deal.
The deal includes performance bonuses that are the similar to Day's prior deal, per sources. For example, Day earned a $1 million bonus for Ohio State winning the national title in 2024.
