ESPN lead college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit discussed Ohio State's decision to suspend head football coach Urban Meyer for three games during a media conference call Friday.
The school punished Meyer following an investigation of the coach's handling of domestic abuse allegations against former assistant Zach Smith.
When a reporter asked Herbstreit—who played quarterback at Ohio State from 1989-92—about his reaction to his alma mater's decision, he said he was "confused" after reading the report.
"Once I listened to Mary Jo White and listened to Dr. Drake and Gene Smith, I thought a three-game suspension, it sounded almost as if Ohio State felt they needed to do something as far as just giving some kind of punishment," Herbstreit said.
