Meyer announces discipline for four Buckeyes

Separate incidents result in immediate, decisive action

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer today suspended senior running back Carlos Hyde, from Naples, Fla., from all football team activities pending the outcome of the student code of conduct and criminal investigations. Hyde was named in a City of Columbus Police Department report that was issued Monday.

Meyer also took disciplinary action Monday against two freshmen who were involved in legal issues in the past week: tight end Marcus Baugh, from Riverside, Calif., and defensive lineman Tim Gardner, from Indianapolis. He also announced that senior cornerback Bradley Roby, from Suwanee, Ga., will not attend Big Ten media days this week. Roby was involved in a legal issue this weekend in Bloomington, Ind., and, as more information becomes available, could face additional discipline.

“I have a clear set of core values in place that members of this football program are constantly reminded of and are expected to honor,†Meyer said. “There are also expectations with regard to behavior. I expect our players to conduct themselves responsibly and appropriately and they will be held accountable for their actions.â€

Baugh has been removed from all team activities and will sit out the first game of the season, Aug. 31 vs. Buffalo, for his arrest last weekend for underage possession of alcohol and possessing a fake identification. His actions will also result in the loss of his summer aid.

Gardner is being sent home and will not be a part of the 2013 team after he was charged Saturday night by Columbus police with obstruction of official business.

“Swift, effective and fair discipline is the standard for our entire athletics program,†Director of Athletics Gene Smith said. “I applaud Coach Meyer for his immediate actions.â€​

What made Gardner's so bad that he is not a part of the team?

It seems to me that young men, especially those under the age of say... 22ish, are experts at getting themselves into trouble. Meyer is making the right call here, and showing them that actions that reflect poorly on themselves, their families, the program, and the school have consequences. Good on him I say.

Awful timing after the Hernandez thing. You know they're going to talk about thus every. Single. Game. ...

Roby is the one that worries me the most.
We can live without Hyde... Jordan Hall and a Rod Smith who doesn't fumble...

You would think with the way kids are know-it-all's these days they would have some common sense to avoid stupid situations like this.

Black Monday in general.

Big Suspension in the MLB with Ryan Braun. Suspended without pay for the rest of the year!
