Of course. It is not like he got someone to edit a paper for him or anything bad like that.

To be fair, it's only illegal drugs, been caught only twice, and he's already been suspended a full week!

That's ridiculous.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer is standing behind indefinitely suspended defensive end Noah Spence, and that includes allowing him to remain with the team while the junior awaits word on his status moving forward.

Meyer confirmed Wednesday night that the All-Big Ten performer was still practicing with the Buckeyes, though nothing has changed in terms of his ineligibility for games after failing a second drug test last week just as he was due to return from a three-game suspension for his first positive test.

"Yeah, he actually practiced today," Meyer said. "He's doing things to get healthy, but he's also -- you know, we're supporting him."

Spence is entitled to an appeal, and at this point Ohio State has offered no timetable for when a resolution about his availability might be reached.

Coming off a season in which he led the Buckeyes with eight sacks, Spence is facing the possibility of permanent ineligibility for testing positive a second time for a banned substance, according to the Big Ten handbook.

A source told ESPN.com's Adam Rittenberg that it's a "long shot" Spence will be cleared to return to the Buckeyes, but until that becomes official, the program is still allowing him to take part in team activities.

"You know, the only comment I'll make on the whole situation is that it's a tough deal for Noah and his family and we're going to support him the best we can throughout the situation," co-defensive coordinator Chris Ash said Saturday. "If he gets an opportunity to play football again one day, great. But we're here to help him receive the help that he needs."

Urban Meyer is such a POS.

 

[Pops Freshenmeyer]

I'm sure he's telling everyone that will listen that there is a certain midwestern school that doesn't support its student athletes but OSU's program will stand by them.

This. 100%

Chris Clark will fill that void nicely. Only a matter of time.

Even as a KU fan i'm kind of like, 'Wait, what??? Why would anyone do that??"

Yeah, KU of all places...they just lost their coach, along with their schematic advantage.

I have a guess, maybe a booster (is there such a thing for KU football?) is tired of losing and somehow/someway had a heavy persuasion...$$$. Just a guess.

I would bet money that Urban pushed Josh out the door to make room for Chris.

 

[tko]

Or maybe Ed Warinner told him to head there b/c he's on his way?

 

[ab2cmiller]

Info from elevenwarriors seems to indicate that UFM cut him loose. Evidently the commitment of Rashod Berry yesterday took his spot. Stay Classy Bucks. pOSU fans still getting used to recruiting SEC style.

Alex Glietman reporting that it was the Buckeyes that decided to part ways, Berry takes his spot as TE in this class.

doing some reading on elevenwarriors and must say that was the best i have seen from a fan base regarding a decommit...many feel if urban forced him out that it was unethical...shocked is what i am after reading

[Irish2155]

Ole' Urban...yet parents and their kids to still trust him, just better hope he doesn't find a better player.

 

[ACamp1900]

His teams consistently lead the country in grad rate... how could they not trust him??

 

[koonja]

We need a new OSU thread cause everytime this one is bumped I get my hopes up that Urban is in deep shit... Or dead.

 

[Irish2155]

I took those classes once, then I got bumped up to Jr. High. Was awesome...new school, got a locker, changed classes every period...even the girls started to look better.

These OSU guys get cars and tats though...women look better. What gives?

That's weird. Urban can't bring someone new in mid season.

Interesting the kid gets booted now that Urban doesn't really need him. Noah Spence fails two tests and is still practicing.

Apparently Smith had more than one or two transgressions during his time at Ohio State.

I checked out Eleven Warriors to see what they were saying, and it appears that there may be some other big names involved as well. It will be interesting to see if anything comes of it.
