JONESBORO -- "I can't do it anymore."
It wasn't the response Rob Harley's agent expected when he came to his client with an offer to work games on ESPN2 ahead of the 2012 season. Harley, a former Ohio State safety, had toiled for six years as a television broadcaster, bouncing across the Midwest to many of the same stadiums where he'd played as a Buckeye.
But being there wasn't the same thing as being in it.
Harley missed the scheming and the strategizing. He wanted to be on the practice field every day rather than traveling as a medical equipment salesman.
