Ryan Day expresses frustration over late college football roster changes
Summary

Ohio State head coach Ryan Day voiced frustration regarding last-minute NFL-to-college transfers during a press conference. He emphasizes the confusion caused by the NCAA's new eligibility rules, which allow athletes five years to compete, resulting in shifting rosters close to the start of the season. Day highlighted the need for conferences to establish a clear deadline for roster acceptance to avoid competitive advantages. Ohio State's roster remains set ahead of their season opener on September 5 against Ball State, although Day acknowledges the potential to add players released from NFL teams if beneficial for the Buckeyes.
