Ohio State football coach Urban Meyer has been suspended for the first three games of the 2018 season.

Meyer’s suspension stated that Meyer “failed to act appropriately regarding alleged abuse by Zach Smith of his former wife and related allegations that he misrepresented his knowledge of the alleged events at the Big Ten Media Days.”

Meyer will be fully suspended through the Oregon State game, meaning he will not be allowed to attend practices or have contact with the team. After that, he will be able to direct practice during the week, but not allowed to coach the team during its games against Rutgers and No. 16 TCU. As part of the suspension, Meyer will forgo six weeks of pay.

OSU also announced that athletic director Gene Smith has been suspended just over two weeks from Aug. 31 to Sept. 16.
