Just days after the Ohio State Buckeyes defeated Notre Dame and were crowned the 2025 College Football Playoff national champions, reports from On3 sports emerged that star Buckeyes wide receiver Jeremiah Smith was offered $4.5 million to enter the transfer portal.
Smith appeared to shut down those rumors with a repost on X, but Ohio State coach Ryan Day is clearly bothered by the fact that NCAA rules are seemingly not being enforced. NCAA rules prohibit teams and agents from persuading players to enter the transfer portal, but these rules have been difficult to enforce.
