The Ohio State Board of Trustees reinstated head coach Urban Meyer on Wednesday night with the condition that he’ll serve a three-game suspension for his handling of alleged instances of domestic abuse against former wide receivers coach Zach Smith.
The university also suspended athletic director Gene Smith after a three-week long investigation for his role in the matter, all of which prompted a wide variety of reactions from former Buckeyes — including a number of those who played under Meyer.
