Posey, Herron, Hall Suspension for Nebraska confirmed by Smith

Submitted by Michael Scarn on

Not totally new information from the topic below, but confirmation via a Smith presser that Posey, Herron and Hall will be out for Nebraska for being overcompensated in a summer job they held with the guy who handed out cash envelopes at the charity event, Bobby DiGeronimo. Mostly small amounts of money, a couple hundred bucks, but Posey received over $700 and will face a longer suspension.  Don't worry though, he'll almost certainly be back by the time they come to Ann Arbor!

Unclear whether the pay occured this summer while they were already under investigation or in years past.

Smith:

"I am held accountable," Smith said. "That's why I'm sitting here today. We have to constantly work with our student athletes to educate them about accountability ... and then educate those people around them to ensure that our student athletes aren't taken advantage of by people around them."
