Heading into summer camp and coming off a perfect 2012 in its first season under Urban Meyer, Ohio State is not only a near-unanimous pick to win the Big Ten but is also one of the teams looked on as a favorite to break Alabama’s string of BCS titles. While that may still end up being the case, the Buckeyes’ row just got a lot harder to hoe.
Citing sources with knowledge of the situation, the Columbus Dispatch is reporting that starting running back Carlos Hyde has been dismissed from the football program following an incident over the weekend in Columbus. Hyde, the Dispatch writes, “was named as a person of interest in a weekend assault against a female in a Downtown bar.”
As it appears now, no charges have been filed against Hyde, although the same can’t be said for another Buckeye star.
According to the same report, preseason All-American favorite Bradley Roby was arrested early Sunday morning in a separate incident and charged with battery resulting in bodily injury. The incident at a Bloomington, Ind., drinking establishment occurred when Roby “was asked to leave a bar after a disturbance, refused, and was subdued by bouncers at the bar before being taken into custody.”
Roby could be facing a suspension pending a further investigation into the arrest.
