OSU RS SR starting DT Michael Hill suspended indefinitely
waaait. real story here is that they have a player named Tracy Sprinkle
He won't sit for more than one game. It's just a headline grabber to suspend a guy until further notice; once the season comes around and no one is paying attention he will be back on the field.
Maybe team catching him vs NCAA? If I remember correctly that's why McGary got hammered, he got popped at an NCAA tourney game.
The difference is McGary played for MICHIGAN not OSU, MSU or any of the SEC schools. Had he chosen his school better he could've suited up baked out of his mind and nobody would care. But alas, he did not. He chose to attend Michigan and the NCAA is pretty clear on that one:
Penalty for smoking pot:
Michigan: Lifetime ban. Forfeit 8 scholarships and two year bowl ban.
All other schools: Taco Bell baby!!!
you know, playing.
McGary failed an NCAA drug test that players had to take during the postseason. The penalty for failing one of those is a year suspension. I have never heard of another player failing because it isn't random.
The random drug testing done during the season isn't given by the NCAA and has lesser penalties.
if the player failed their test. Better to get caught at OSU than at BYU. Much, much better to be a starter than on the scout team.
My guess, knowing nothing else about the person, would be that "Tracy Sprinkle" is the name of a stripper working the pole. (Or, with apologies to Tom Waits - and echoing Walter Sobchak's comment - a donut. Because all the donuts have names that sound like prostitutes.)
How long was McGary's suspension for "smoking the pots"?
Lets see how this one plays out
Game 1 Starter!!
Adoration for their D line. WAS EXPECTING MORE POT SHOTS!!
GO BLUE!
Meyer hasn't determined the total number of games.
He'll sit the first quarter against Indiana

in comparison to other crimes. Da'shawn Hand got a DUI and won't be suspended a game. DUIs kill people. But a man smokes pot and it's like he robbed someone.
I know we don't know for sure what this guy did, but I'm still astounded how severe the penalties are for smoking weed compared to every other crime you see emerge in CFB
If this guy just failed a drug test or got a possession charge I would guess he misses 0 seconds of playing time.
Now if he is caught on camera with a j in his mouth executing another man with his gang friends then he may miss the opener. Or at least a half of it.
and sitting on our bench his career would be over.
Tracy Sprinkle sounds like a stripper name.
Only 21 more starters to go
I think Hill was the starting NT for the Buckeyes. He had 21 total tackles last year, only 9 solo - 2% of Ohio State's tackles last fall.
At 6'3" and 305 lbs. seems he was pretty much "line filler" to run around and not through.
I'm just not convinced that losing 2% of your tiotal team tackling power is reason to panic (or celebrate).
This is what happens when your recruiting classes are consecutively ranked no. 3, 7, 4 and 2 over the last 4 years. You simply don't have talent or depth problems.
