WATCH: Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith talks NIL, CFP model, college landscape

In case you missed it, Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith was kind enough to appear before the media on Wednesday to simply be available and answer questions about where things are with Ohio State and the ever-changing college landscape in general.

Smith was honest, sincere, and open about where everything is in college athletics and how it impacts Ohio State and the rest of college athletics and didn’t shy away from any questions.

Smith was asked about name, image, and likeness, the College Football Playoff model, where things stand with Ryan Day’s contract, the alliance with the Pac-12 and ACC, and more.

If you missed any of his comments and answers to the questions that were posed, you can watch it all here thanks to the official Ohio State Buckeyes Twitter account.

It was honestly nice that Ohio State put this together. Gene Smith has always been one of the most available, honest, and forthcoming athletic directors in college athletics and OSU is lucky to have him despite what many critics might have said in the past.
