Five Ohio State Department of Athletics head coaches, including football coach Ryan Day, are positioned to receive contract extensions or new contracts this week pending approval by the Ohio State University Board of Trustees.
OSU football coach Ryan Day will receive a two-year contract extension that will position him as head coach of the Buckeyes at least through the 2028 football season, and his total compensation will increase from $7.6 million annually to $9.5 million annually with a base salary of $2.0 million per year.
This raise puts Day among the nation's highest-paid college football coaches.
Men's basketball coach Chris Holtmann, women's basketball coach Kevin McGuff, men's Lacrosse coach Nick Myers and men's hockey coach Steve Rohlik all also received contract extensions.
