Ryan Day Believes Season Can Start Safely in Mid-October, Calls Communication from Big Ten “Disappointing and Often Unclear”

The Ohio State Buckeyes want to play this fall, and they want to know why they aren't able to play now.

In a statement released by Ryan Day on Thursday afternoon, Ohio State's coach said he believes the Big Ten's medical subcommittee “has done an excellent job of creating a safe pathway toward returning to play in mid-October,” and that players want to know why they are unable to play while other conferences are playing right now.

“While I understand the Big Ten Conference’s decision to postpone the football season because of health and safety considerations, the communication of information from the Big Ten following the decision has been disappointing and often unclear,” Day said.
