Ryan Day issues statement asking for answers from Big Ten, pushing to play in October

Ohio State head coach Ryan Day issued a statement on Thursday looking for answers from the Big Ten and pushing to play in October.

Ohio State has done its best to play somewhat nice with all of the Big Ten drama over the last month. It has toed the company line for the most part while also making it perfectly clear that it is one of the programs that wants to play football sooner rather than later. The Buckeye program has expressed confidence in the safety measures, monitoring, and protocols but hasn’t outright railed against the collective conference despite having arguably the most to lose money-wise and on the field.

Now, it appears head coach Ryan Day wants some answers, a plan, and a push to start playing real football games this fall. He released a statement on Thursday afternoon looking for answers from the Big Ten and standing behind his staff, players, and the program’s desire to get moving on playing.

It’s the furthest really anyone aligned with the program has gone in criticizing the Big Ten, but it’s clear time is running out and things need to start aligning in order for things to happen on time.
