The news coming out of the first five days of Ohio State’s fall football practice has been noticeably less than in years past, thanks to the athletic department closing practices and not making players and coaches available to the media due to the on-going investigation into head coach Urban Meyer’s handling of domestic violence allegations against former wide receivers coach Zach Smith.
However, thanks to the Big Ten Network’s annual bus tour, we got a bit of a reprieve as the first three quarters of practice were open to all media, though no interviews were permitted before the assembled mass was escorted away.
