Ryan Day getting $12.5 million annually as part of new 7-year contract

Ryan Day has agreed to a new contract that will keep him with the Ohio State football team through the 2031 season. Day and the Buckeyes came to terms on a 7-year, $12.5 million annually deal. There were Ohio State fans that wanted Day fired just a few months ago after the Buckeyes lost to rival Michigan for the fourth year in a row, but things have changed drastically in Columbus as Day was able to lead the team to a national championship despite the heartbreaking November loss.

“Ryan Day and Ohio State have agreed to a new contract,” Pete Thamel said in a post. “It’s a seven-year contract that will keep Day as coach of the Buckeyes through the 2031 football season It will add three years onto his current agreement and will be valued at $12.5 million in total annual compensation.”

Day has been the head coach of the Ohio State football team since 2019, and he finally broke through this past season with the national title.
