COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Coaches and players are always connected.
Urban Meyer is associated with Tim Tebow. And he is associated with Aaron Hernandez.
Meyer is preparing for Ohio State's spring game on Saturday, but his six-year run at Florida, which included two national championships, will always remain a huge part of his career.
On Thursday on a Big Ten coaching teleconference, Meyer's only remaining interview access before Saturday's spring game, Meyer was asked about Hernandez's conviction for murder on Wednesday. Meyer said his strength coach, Mickey Marotti, who also was with Meyer at Florida, showed him the verdict as the Buckeyes were leaving the practice field.
