Does this change things at Ohio State or are they going to be ok?

Right now on Sportscenter they are saying he will just miss the Minnesota game, so I'm guessing they will be just fine.

Tries to avoid checkpoint and fails test so he's released. Sounds about right...

Exactly what I was thinking.

Cardale Jones: "Hello, Police.....yes I'd like to report a possible drunk driver. I think it's J.T. Barrett from Ohio State".

Police Dispatch: "Can you give us an approximate location on the suspected drunk driver?"

Cardale Jones: " Yeah, last time I saw him he was on the corner of 6th and You Ain't Takin' my Mother Truckin' Startin' Position from Me Lane".

Police Dispatch: "We'll get a unit headed that way. Good luck this weekend Cardale"

Then he goes and picks him up from the station so that he looks like a true friend....nicely played Cardale!

I hate bye weeks.

They will be fine, it's just one home game with Minnesota. There are others who are more then passable to replace him for a game.

Urban really stepped up the punishment and revoked his scholarship for the Summer 2016 term.

Urban really stepped up the punishment and revoked his scholarship for the Summer 2016 term.

Seeing as the standard punishment is nothing, a suspension and a quarter without a tuition is at least something.

I wonder if there was something to Jt not starting this season? That punishment suggests there was a problem before this happened..

This is the standard dui punishment for urban at OSU. I think this surprised everyone on the team including the coaches.

I read he lost his summer term. Not as bad as I thought.

I thought it was a surprisingly harsh punishment. I mean, DUIs happen all the time to college football players. And to college students in general, really.

As much as I jokingly bag on Urban Meyer, I have to admit that he really is a man of character. He represents tOSU well.

Thing is, this was an OVI, not even a DUI, which the title of this thread was misleading. He was fined, but not arrested as there's no jailtime associated with an OVI
