JUST IN: Ryan Day’s Contract Extended Through 2031—A Huge Win, But…
Good news: Ohio State head coach Ryan Day has signed a contract extension through 2031, securing his future with the Buckeyes for the long haul. The deal, worth $12.5 million annually, makes him one of the highest-paid coaches in college football. Day’s leadership has been instrumental in Ohio State’s success, culminating in a national championship victory and consistent playoff appearances. His ability to recruit top talent and develop players has made the Buckeyes a perennial powerhouse.
But… with great expectations comes immense pressure. The massive contract signals that Ohio State expects continued dominance, not just in the Big Ten but nationally. Day will be tasked with maintaining championship-level play while navigating major changes in college football, including NIL deals and the expanded College Football Playoff. Additionally, the loss of key players to the NFL Draft means he must quickly rebuild and keep Ohio State at the top.
Despite interest from the NFL, Day remains committed to Columbus, even pledging $1 million toward mental health initiatives. While his extension brings stability, the challenge of living up to the contract’s expectations looms large. Now, all eyes will be on Day to see if he can deliver even more champions
