... due to grades. Expect more info later today.

That's one guy that I wouldn't have suspected to have any problems off the field. Hopefully he can get everything in order for next season.

If he does indeed miss the game, I don't think OSU misses him too much. OSU doesn't pass the ball enough to miss their 3rd WR.

Papa Carter won't be too pleased to hear this.

As far as the game, not a huge loss for OSU as I see them winning this game on the ground. Passing game goes through Posey, Dane, or Boom/Saine.

Technically he's like our 4th WR now. But I agree, if OSU was a spread 5 Wide team would be a big blow, but I don't see this as a big deal on the field. Hopefully it's just a grade issue, as those are easily corrected and not a more serious issue.

It mindboggles me that these kids are ineligible. Lets get serious, I doubt Duron is in any 200-500 level classes, and they have tutors at their expense at any time of the day. I don't get it.

There could be another player that is also close too.

Yes, supposedly on the defensive side. I couldn't find a name though.

this is why coaches pucker up when bowl season comes around--it marks the end of the grading period,baby!!!

FYI... Tressel receives grades at 5 ET today... so nothing official as of yet, but it doesn't look good.

any idea who else besides DC??

I hope the defensive player isn't Nathan Williams or Jermale Hines, but have a good feeling it's one of them.

The only good thing from a player ineligible due to grades is that it proves that OSU actually makes their student athletes attend class and give some effort. Although I think that's all it takes, is some effort.

My cousin tutors athlete and says that many of them are not real bright, considering they got into a somewhat difficult school to get into as freshmen.

charlie, I hope it isn't Williams as I feel he will get extended PT against the spread run.

no mention of anyone besides carter.Hope he makes it but doesnt look good

It hurts a bit. Mostly because he's a good blocker. I hope he gets his act together. I wouldn't want to be in the room while padre is going off.

This would really stink for Duron, but hopefully would teach him a lesson about the effort it takes to be a student at Ohio State

Would have never guessed that Carter would have been the guy with poor grades

It happens from time to time with the strenuous academics at Ohio State. Hopefully, he can get his act together and become an A+ student from here on out. If not, there are plenty of SEC or Big East schools that need a student athlete of that caliber.

get real dude.

Undergraduate at Ohio State is not hard at all. Anybody with half a brain giving some sort of effort can get at least a 3.0

Do you honestly believe that the academics in the SEC and Big East are inferior to OSU?

OSU is superior to the majority of the schools in the SEC and Big East. Cincinnati accepts anyone with a GED minimum. Also, look at the average entrance scores.

Saying you only need half a brain to get a 3.0 at OSU is far from the truth. Not only does it depend on the major, but the average freshman ACT score is a 27 for freshman. It isn't OSU of the 80's anymore.

Ignorant.

Outside of Florida and Vanderbilt, yes. The Big East? LOL

Definitely depends on your major. I have a 3.2 and I'm an engineering major. I know a lot of my friends who had 29-30s on their ACT and are in the 2.5-2.7 range in engineering. Its not easy unless you're in business or communications or something like that.
