COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State football has inked an agreement with coach Ryan Day, extending him through the 2031 season with an annual compensation of $12.5 million. He will become the nation’s second-highest paid head coach, pending an approval of the deal by OSU’s board of trustees.

Ryan Day’s contract extension at Ohio State would make him the second-highest-paid football coach in the country behind Georgia’s Kirby Smart.

Ryan Day will now coach Ohio State into the next decade. According to the university, Day has agreed in principle on a new, seven-year contract through the 2031 Buckeyes season. The agreement comes just over two weeks after Ohio State won its ninth national championship,
