Ohio State University has suspended three veteran players indefinitely following allegations that they used a homophobic slur during a recent team event. The university issued a statement confirming the suspensions but did not release the names of the players involved or provide additional details about the incident.
“Ohio State Athletics holds its student-athletes to the highest standards of conduct. We are committed to fostering an environment of inclusion and respect, and we will not tolerate behavior that contradicts these values,” the statement read.
The alleged incident occurred earlier this week, prompting swift action from head coach Ryan Day and university officials. The suspensions come at a critical time for the Buckeyes, who are preparing for their upcoming bowl game.
The news has sparked widespread discussion, with many fans and commentators expressing concern about accountability in college sports. Ohio State has promised to conduct a thorough investigation into the situation, with further disciplinary actions possible depending on the findings.
