After leading Ohio State to its first national championship since 2014 with a 34-23 win over Notre Dame in Monday night's College Football Playoff final, head coach Ryan Day is taking home a solid bonus check.
Day entered the game with $500,000 in bonuses for the Buckeyes' run to the national title game, and he earned another $500,000 with the victory to push his bonus check to $1 million on top of his $10 million base salary.
Ohio State faced an early deficit after Notre Dame opened the game with an 18-play touchdown drive.
