Urban allowed to rejoin program on 9/2, but can't coach games vs OR State and vs Rutgers as well as vs TCU at Arlington, TX.
AD Gene Smith suspended without pay until 9/16 as well.
Why this punishment? Per Wetzel...
So one more game than I guessed. I did enjoy the reports this evening of a standoff between OSU's president who wanted a suspension, the board who wanted immediate reinstatement, and Urban saying "reinstate me or fire me -- I won't accept a suspension because I did nothing wrong." At some point I guessed the meeting was actually taking so long because they were negotiating the president's resignation and announcing Urban was taking over as president.
