Take it for what it's worth .. and it may be nothing. But, lead writer for the website Men of the Scarlet and Gray, an Ohio fan site stated on twitter that he has information from a very reliable source that a current Ohio player is in serious legal trouble. he stated he will not give any information until the arrest record is published online.

This has caused an uproar among Ohio fans on twitter, many saying he is just starting a rumor .. which makes no sense since he is a diehard Ohio fan, and he hasn't posted anything about it on his site, so he's not trying to get clicks from it. He seems to stand behind this source.

The original post was 11 hours ago, but he remains solid on his stance as of a few minutes ago.

Let the speculations begin.

I am hearing from a source that a member of the Ohio State Football team may be involved in some serious legal issues. Trying to confirm.

@meechmcghee @Smoe4Bucks I believe my source is 100% reliable but again I cant and wont say any details without a secondary confirmation.

 

  1. @DaveEggen40 I have no other confirmation yet and the police reports havent hit the internet yet. Hopefully they never do.

  2. @CoachKG1984 @tjessberger Id rather be dead wrong and have no credibility then be right in this case. I hope Tjessberger is right about me.

Mod edit: This at least sounds less life altering than some of the sexual assault cases, and with speculation already around I don't pretend to be able to stop it and keep the thread intact, but we really don't need random Twitter rumors as titles and in OP's at the very least. If/when something is confirmed (or reported for that matter), feel free to update again. JGB.

Watching ABC6 news Columbus and so far nothing has been reported. Either they are trying their best to keep this hush, hush or there is no assault charge.

Little early for that kind of coverage, no?  It's one thing for an OSU fan site or a UM fan site to discuss it but they'd be really, really liable putting stuff like that over the airwaves.  Not too many people are awake and drooling for that kind of coverage at 11pm, either.  And if a news conference is coming so early tomorrow morning then just wait until it's either confirmed or tease it with the early morning show because now you have a meeting confirmed by the school and that's better to report than jumping right to "this happened and involved these people".

 

I can't fault them for covering their own behind so far.

I thought I'd paste the report narrative here.  There's not really much to it, and the suspect is not named.

"The victim stated that on the listed date and time at the listed location that the listed Suspect struck her in the face with his elbow. The Victim stated that her nose began to bleed and she fell to the ground which caused her to twist her ankle. The Victim stated that she advised the bar staff of the incident but they did nothing to help her."

With so little detail it's hard to draw any conclusions from the report.

1) Hyde is meeting with Meyer in the morning

2) He is almost certainly gone

3) The girl he punched is the daughter of a cop

4) A freshman may be gone as well
