Ryan Day Reiterates Belief Big Ten Has To Start Season in Mid-October For Playoff Eligibility On College GameDay

Ryan Day's Ohio State team won't play today, yet he appeared on ESPN's College GameDay anyway.

Two days after releasing a statement in which he called for the Big Ten to start its season in mid-October with the belief that a "safe pathway toward returning to play" by then existed, the head coach joined Penn State's James Franklin, Stanford's David Shaw and Utah's Kyle Whittingham for a discussion with Rece Davis about their conferences' paths forward.

Day, as part of his comments, reiterated his thinking that the conference has to start playing by around this time next month in order to be in College Football Playoff consideration.
