Ryan Day pushes back on NIL being key factor for Ohio State roster building: ‘Not what won us a championship’
Imagn Images Ohio State coach Ryan Day defended his championship roster from claims of "buying" a national championship in a wide-ranging interview with CBS Sports' Josh Pate. Pate asked Day about the ability to create a nucleus of homegrown players, and Day took it as a chance to clarify just how he constructed his championship roster. "The truth of the matter is that the majority of those guys were all guys that decided to come back or were already on the team that we recruited and developed," Day said." We did add six or seven guys, but not 15, not 20 where we just went out there and just got the best players in college football. That wasn't the case. That's not what won us a championship."Day is correct -- the vast majority of game-changing players on the roster were homegrown. […]

Parece que perdeu tudo. Não perdeu tudo, ganhou o Paulistão, está fora da Libertadores, tem quatro pontos na Sul-Americana, perdeu só para o São Paulo no Paulista…”, argumentou o apresentador. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE O Alvinegro Paulista vive uma verdadeira “montanha-russa” em 2025.
