Bad news from Columbus, five Ohio State football players have been suspended for the first five games in the 2011 season. Also, one player, Jordan Whiting, will be suspended for one game. The five Buckeyes that will miss the first five games of the 2011 season are Terrelle Pryor (no Heisman), Boom Herron, DeVier Posey, Mike Adams, and Soloman Thomas. These players were suspended because they received improper benefits. They got free tattoos in return for signed items.
All of these players will have to pay up to $2,500 to charity. Also, they will be allowed to play in the Sugar Bowl, January 4th against Arkansas.
This may effect the 2011 season for the Buckeyes, as they will play Akron and Toledo, which should still be easy wins, then travel to South Florida to take on Miami (FL), which could be a loss, then host Colorado, which should be a win, and then host Michigan State, which could be a loss. The five Buckeyes that will miss out, will not play until OSU travels to Nebraska to take on the Corn Huskers on October the 8th.
If any of the suspension change, which they probably will not, we will be sure to keep you updated.
