COLUMBUS, OHIO (AP) - A newspaper is reporting that suspensions could be extended for at least two of the four Ohio State players who were set to return to the team this week.
Athletic director Gene Smith will discuss developments in the NCAA case Monday.
Tailback Daniel Herron, wide receiver DeVier Posey, left tackle Mike Adams and defensive end Solomon Thomas were expected to be cleared to join the team this week for the Buckeyes’ game at No. 14 Nebraska. They have sat out the team’s first five games for accepting cash and free or discounted tattoos in violation of NCAA rules.
The Dispatch reported that Herron and Posey could be held out longer for accepting inflated pay for summer jobs in the Cleveland area.
Smith did not immediately return a request for comment.
