Smith said based on the circumstances of the loan, the NCAA "would use its leadership capacity to take an understanding approach on behalf of all student-athletes who find themselves in a similar position, and it certainly did just that."
Young tweeted in response to the decision on Wednesday: "Excited to be back on the field next week! Thank you Buckeye Nation for all the love and support.""He’s exactly the way he was before," defensive tackle Davon Hamilton said Tuesday. "Obviously, he’s going through the situation, and he just continues to be himself. We’ll support him no matter what."
Young last played Oct. 26 against Wisconsin and had a performance that thrust him into the Heisman Trophy conversation. The junior, a likely high first-round pick in next year’s NFL draft, had four sacks and two forced fumbles in a blowout of the Badgers. The suspension has been the first hint of off-field trouble or any significant adversity for the Buckeyes, who are ranked No. 2 in the current playoff rankings in coach Ryan Day’s first season in charge.
A year ago, Ohio State dealt with a three-game suspension to the start the season for then-coach Urban Meyer, who was punished by the university for mismanaging domestic-abuse allegations against a former assistant coach.
