Buckeye WR Devier Posey Handed An Additional 5 Game Suspension
Ohio State football student-athlete Devier Posey must sit five games and repay benefits after receiving approximately $720 from a booster for work not performed, according to a decision Friday by the NCAA student-athlete reinstatement staff. Posey also accepted approximately $100 in golf fees from another individual, which is a preferential treatment violation. Three additional Ohio State football student-athletes -- Marcus Hall, Melvin Fellows and Daniel Herron -- will miss one game and must repay benefits after receiving pay for work not performed from the booster. Herron and Fellows both accepted approximately $290 in excess pay while Hall received $230 in overpayment. In its decision, the staff noted the overpayment occurred over an extended period of time. The withholding condition cannot be used during a medical hardship period. The withholding conditions for Posey and Herron are in addition to the five-game suspension each previously received for other rules violations. Reinstatement decisions are independent of the NCAA enforcement process and typically are made once the facts of the student-athlete’s involvement are determined. Source NCAA.org |
