It had been a while since Gene Smith got in front of the media at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center.
The Ohio State athletic director held a press conference Wednesday to address a litany of topics pertaining to Buckeye sports, the Big Ten and college athletics in general. Smith discussed the ever-changing landscape of the college sports model, name, image and likeness regulations, College Football Playoff expansion and the potential to reshape football divisions in the Big Ten.
Smith also talked about Ryan Day's contract, which he said he doesn't feel a sense of urgency to restructure, as well as ticket prices for football games and whether or not Ohio State could host CFP games in the future, among other things.
