I wonder if that'd be him having to pay his own way down there for the flight.

They used to give them a “travel stipend” to make sure they get to the site if not travelling with the team. Don’t know if that’s still the case or not.Benny The Jet;1559679 wrote:I wonder if that'd be him having to pay his own way down there for the flight.

Statement from Ohio State:
[INDENT]It has been determined that Ohio State University sophomore Noah Spence has violated a Big Ten Conference rule and he has been suspended for three games, starting with the Discover Orange Bowl this Friday.
Spence's parents, who did not agree with the rule violation nor the penalty imposed, were assisted by the Ohio State Department of Athletics in exhausting the appeals process that was available to them with the Big Ten.
Spence is an Academic All-Big Ten honoree and an OSU Scholar-Athlete. He will continue course work toward his sociology degree next semester and he will be able to practice with the team this spring, but he will not be eligible to play in a game until Ohio State’s third game of the 2014 season, Sept. 13 vs. Kent State.
The Department of Athletics will have no further comment on this issue.

Is there a difference between breaking NCAA rule and breaking a BIG10 rule? Or did they just word it funny?

Also saw this in the comment section-brings up a valid point:
This makes no sense. Obviously osu doesn't think he broke a rule because they helped him appeal
it isn't grades
not a failed drug test
what rule is just a big ten rule and not covered by osu and the ncaa?

***UPDATED***
I am hearing from a reliable source that the cause of the suspension is due to a performance enhancing drug that he may have ingested from an over the counter drug or supplement. The family has argued it was not on purpose and was taken on accident.

From Tim May:
From Tim May:
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Ohio State sophomore defensive end Noah Spence has been suspended three games – including Friday’s Orange Bowl -- because of what the Big Ten ruled was the use of an unapproved dietary supplement, a high-level source at Ohio State told The Dispatch today.

Seems odd. What could be taken over the counter that would show up on a test? The only thing I can think of is Bronkaid...ephedrine.
