Dan Patrick: "Ohio State doesn't usually lose players, but now in today's NIL and transfer portal, everybody's fair game. So how do you go about having conversations or retaining some of your players?"
Ryan Day: "You have to bring in great people and great families, but you also have to value them and try to do everything you can to get what they deserve and what's fair. But there's also something to be said about being around a program like ours. You think if it's all equal, we will have our chance to get our share of guys. It is different, no question. As coaches, we are all looking for more guidelines on this. Everything is so gray right now..."
Dan Patrick: "Is there tampering in college football?"
Ryan Day: "I think one of the big issues that we have across the board in college football right now is enforcement. Enforcement is really strained right now. Until we start enforcing some of these rules, people can just call someone's agents or parents and offer a certain amount of money, and it just goes from there. That's one of the things to me that I think needs to be addressed in college sports right now is enforcement. Because right now, there is virtually none, and it's gotten worse as time has gone on."
