The recent NCAA report detailed a fractured dynamic between the football program and the school’s compliance department.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Anticipation is important for quarterbacks, and having played the position before, Ohio State football coach Ryan Day clearly still possesses the trait. In his opening statement during Monday’s press conference, Day got ahead of any questions asking him to comment on the NCAA’s punishment of Michigan for its sign-stealing scandal.

Michigan was spared a postseason ban and vacating wins, including from the 2023 national title season when the inquiry was launched that October.
