DE Noah Spence (Official Thread)

I'm considering the source here obviously, but when mentioning this on Gameday, they said it was an eligibility issue. What the fudge could that be if it's a conference issue but not NCAA?

I can only assume it had to deal with not travelling with the team then. Since it was Big Ten and not OSU or NCAA.

I highly doubt that since it was a 3 game suspension. If it were just the orange then that could be a possibility.

Yet, it didn't violate NCAA or OSU rules though. Purely guessing, but I can't think of anything that would only violate conference rules, yet it did.

He's a kid during Xmas like everyone else that age, absolutely ridiculous.

Maybe it had something to do with tickets?

 

[MaxBuck]

This may be a technicality regarding where Noah took a class (perhaps a class taken before entering tOSU that he got college credit for in compliance with NCAA rules but not B1G rules). Sure is an odd one.

Right I agree that it is still an unknown, there's just no way you get a three game suspension for not traveling with a team.

The more I think about it, the not travelling with the team was a direct result of waiting to see if appeals would work. So whatever it was, it happened before we found out he wasn't travelling with the team.

Wait a minute. It's not OSU or NCAA, and it's three games. But, after all the crap he pulled, wasn't Johnny Football only out for half a game?

Free golf or nipple piercing.

Free golf or nipple piercing.

If it's only three games, must have been miniature golf.

He must have forgot to return the scoring pencil to the appropriate place.

He must have forgot to return the scoring pencil to the appropriate place.

I was thinking perhaps he put the green ball in his pocket and left, rather than putting it through the clown's mouth at the 18th.

Tim May cites an athletic department source that says the issue was an improper dietary supplement.

To me it explains why it was a B1G issue, and the appeals process explains the white lie about "personal reasons".

From the article....wonder if Bullough had the same issue. I bet the substance while not approved by the Big Ten is okay in the SEC.....

Interestingly, Ohio State lost the Big Ten title game to Michigan State, which learned just before it left for its Rose Bowl trip that its team-leading senior middle linebacker Max Bullough had been suspended due to a team rules violation. MSU also did not specify what rule was broken.
