Should Urban suspend Zeke and Cardale?
Robert Smith suggested as much. I agree, by making the "we're moving on" comments, they already have.

I wouldn't even bother to suspend them. I just wouldn't play them. If zeke isn't coming back and wanted to make a big stink about it then start preparing next year's RB in the Michigan game.

My first reaction to the question was to chalk it up to post-loss frustration, don't start Zeke, but let him play so the whole team isn't punished. I think your idea makes the most sense.

That was my reaction as well. I was surprised to see the early line has Michigan a slight favorite. But OSU would be better served playing somebody who wants to be out there. I thought Elliot didn't look like he wanted to be out there against the Spartans.

Do not let them play for the next game and the bowl game. They are a disruption of the whole team. Letting them play sends the wrong message, and that teammates could be hostile towards them as well. Why would the team mates want to play with 2 team mates who let the whole team down?

Just tell them how sad he is they decided to leave the team, but they are adults capable of making decisions and he wishes them well.

RE: Should Urban suspend Zeke and Cardale?
The players are right, OSU's game plan was not bright. However, Urban should probably suspend them to show that he runs the program. Highly doubt if he will though.

This is nothing to Urban Meyer. A DUI gets you one game suspension.

I hope the Buckeyes put Lil Jimmy Hairbow and the wolverines to shame.
That being said, i think that tOSU should demonstrate to Zeke and Cardale that TEAM comes first in whatever manner tOSU deems suitable. If it were up to me, they would learn to sit with their mouths shut.

RE: Should Urban suspend Zeke and Cardale?
I would tread carefully if I were Urban. The last thing you want is to start some sort of fight that distracts the team. This one loss isn't the end of the season, an overreaction to stupid Twitter posts could be an end though.

That said, the right thing to do is hurl their dumb asses off the team so fast their head spins.

Should suspend them a half, but Urban ain't gonna do anything that could cost him a game so he won't do squat.

The most valuable phrase I was ever taught re managing employees remains, "Well, we'll miss you."

Like the same thing at Florida when he was getting warning signs about Aaron Hernandez. Look where Hernandez is at? Behind bars for the crime of murder that he was involved with. Urban wants to win at cost, and don't care what his players does. He needs to thread carefully, or he will become a coach who turns a blind eye to players who are disruptive and not a team player. These two guys are not team players, and basically threw the whole team under the bus and not the coaches alone.
