The second day of Big Ten media days took place on Wednesday, and with it, Ohio State head coach Ryan Day got his turn at the podium as the last coach to speak during the two-day event in Indianapolis.
As you would expect, Day got peppered with several questions and had quite a bit to say as the flagbearer of the conference these days. In the event that you didn’t get to catch all that the OSU head man had to say, never fear, because it’s our job to bring it to you.
You can watch the entire video at the end, or scroll through each question in a transcript format if that’s more your style. Here is everything Ryan Day had to say inside Lucas Oil Stadium at the 2022 Big Ten media days on Wednesday.
Introductory remarks from Kevin Warren on Ryan Day
Kevin Warren: Our final head coach for our Football Media Days is an absolute leader on and off the field, an incredible football coach, and has made his imprint in a powerful fashion, not only in the Big Ten but across the country.
He and his wife Christina are very involved in On Our Sleeves to increase education, advocacy in regards to childhood mental health initiatives, and they even have started and created their own Ryan and Christina Day Fund at the Pediatric and Adolescent Mental Wellness Institute at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. He’s passionate about the mental health and wellness of everyone, but especially young people.
So it’s good to have Coach Day here today. We’re looking forward to a great season. So welcome to the podium the head football coach at The Ohio State University, Ryan Day.

I think, as we look into this season, this exciting season for us, we have three guys…
