Among the tidbits he shared was that a contract has been signed for a game against Miami University in Value City Arena on Nov.26, the night before the biennial home football game against Michigan, which is being played after Thanksgiving this year.
Matta coached at Miami twice as an assistant, in 1995-96 under Herb Sendek and in 1997-98 under Charlie Coles, who remains the RedHawks' head coach.
Matta said that, although not all contracts have been signed, the schedule is complete except for one game. It is expected to be released in August.
The regular season is expected to tip off Nov. 12 with an exempt tournament in which Ohio State will play four games, three of them at home. The road game is Nov. 16 at Florida.
