As we have since the beginning we will post all of the happenings and it is official Carlos Hyde has been suspended for at least the first 3 games of the season and will have to meet other obligations to be put back on the team full time.
As was reported by Doug Lesmerises, of The Cleveland Plain Dealer just moments ago…
Ohio State coach Urban Meyer has suspended senior running back Carlos Hyde for at least three games for his actions in an event at a Columbus nightclub last weekend.
Meyer announced his decision after Columbus police earlier Tuesday announced that no charges would be filed against Hyde. Meyer said that Hyde will also have to fulfill other obligations before he can return to the team.
Carlos Hyde was not charged with a crime but Coach Meyer determined that his transgressions violated the team and University code of conduct. Let’s hope this ends this saga for good and Carlos takes the necessary steps to get back on the team.
I can’t be mad with three games. It should fall in that sweet spot of not too harsh since he wasn’t charged with anything and not too soft that Urban appears soft. I like it.
Plus, he misses San Diego State and Cal, which are not gimmes. This should give Smith/Dunn/Ball/et al solid, meaningful playing time.
I can live with this.
Yeah it seems pretty reasonable…
