Buckeyes AD Gene Smith said because it’s a misdemeanor offense this doesn’t fall under the school’s written policy, so it will be up to Meyer to determine if Barrett is held out even longer.
The Buckeyes have a bye this week, which Meyer has used to promote his new leadership book "Above the Line: Lessons in Leadership and Life from a Championship Season” that just came out on Tuesday. After the Minnesota game, OSU travels to Illinois before the roughest part of the schedule, a showdown with Michigan State and a visit to arch-rival Michigan.
The Buckeyes' defense of last season’s national title got off to a rocky start when Ohio State suspended all-American defensive lineman Joey Bosa and three other players for the opener against Virginia Tech for a violation of athletic department policy.
