Ryan Day has a new contract.
Ohio State announced Thursday that Day and the school's athletic department have agreed in principle to a new seven-year contract that will keep the head football coach in Columbus through the 2031 season. Terms of the contract, which add three years to his current agreement, still require approval from Ohio State's Board of Trustees.
“Ohio State Football has long been defined by excellence and, under Ryan Day’s leadership, that tradition has not only continued, but thrived,” Ohio State athletic director Ross Bjork said in a statement. “As a leader, mentor and coach, Ryan has consistently demonstrated an unwavering commitment to the success and well-being of our players, both on and off the field.
