Ohio State President Ted Carter Jr. Awards Coach Ryan Day and Team $200,000 Bonus and Unique Artefact Following National Championship Triumph
In a gesture of appreciation and recognition for their monumental achievement, Ohio State President Ted Carter Jr. has announced that head coach Ryan Day and the entire Ohio State football team will receive a $200,000 bonus following the Buckeyes’ triumph in the College Football Playoff National Championship. In addition to the financial reward, Carter also presented the team with a unique, uncommon artefact to commemorate their historic victory.
The Buckeyes secured their place in college football history by capturing the National Championship in a thrilling victory over a highly-ranked opponent. The win marked Ohio State’s first national title in several years, reaffirming their dominance in the sport and solidifying their place as one of the premier programs in the country.
The $200,000 bonus is a clear demonstration of Carter’s gratitude for the players, coaching staff, and everyone involved in the team’s success. The bonus will be distributed to the players and coaching staff, with Coach Day receiving a significant portion for his leadership throughout the season.
Carter, who has been president of Ohio State since 2021, expressed his pride in the team’s accomplishments. “This national championship is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and relentless pursuit of excellence by our student-athletes and coaching staff,” Carter said in a statement. “The Buckeyes continue to make us proud, and this bonus and unique gift are a small token of our appreciation for their incredible achievement.”
In addition to the financial reward, Carter presented the team with a special artefact — a custom-designed commemorative championship ring that will serve as a symbol of their triumph. Unlike typical championship rings, this particular artefact features elements unique to Ohio State’s rich football tradition, incorporating symbols that reflect the university’s history, culture, and the legacy of past championship teams.
The design of the ring is a rare one, with intricate details that set it apart from other awards, including elements inspired by Ohio State’s iconic Script Ohio, the Buckeye leaf, and the university’s official seal. This artifact will serve as a lasting reminder of the team’s achievement, and the players will treasure it as a memento of their journey to the pinnacle of college football.
Coach Ryan Day, who has been instrumental in building the team into a national powerhouse, was visibly moved by the gesture. “This is an incredible honor, and I couldn’t be prouder of our players, coaches, and staff for everything we’ve accomplished together. This national championship is a collective effort, and I’m so thankful to Ohio State for their unwavering support.”
As Ohio State celebrates its National Championship victory, President Carter’s rewards serve as both recognition and motivation for future excellence. With a combination of financial rewards and a unique artefact to honor their legacy, the Buckeyes are sure to continue striving for greatness as they set their sights on even more success in the s
easons to come.
