That Was Fast... tOSU RB Carlos Hyde Dismissed (UPDATED: Or not... For Now...)

((HT: Columbus Dispatch/11 Warriors))

Tim May over at the Dispatch is saying that Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer has dismissed Number 1 running back Carlos Hyde, who was named as a person of interest in an assault against a female in a Downtown Columbus bar this weekend.

Hyde had yet to be charged as of this morning. The alleged victim said in the police report she did not know her assailant, but that she could recognize him.

And, now, Meyer will get to face these questions in two days at Big 12/10 Media Day...

Corner Bradley Roby, who was arrested for "charges of battery resulting in bodily injury" as well in a separate incident, is also scheduled to be at media days. It will be interesting to see if he shows up as well or if he is told to stay home...

More when we know more...

1400 UPDATE: From Eleven Warriors... here's a picture of the police report on Hyde's case...

1545 UPDATE: Shocking no one, tOSU announces that Roby will not be attending B1G Media Days...

Head Coach Urban Meyer has announced that Hyde is now only "suspended from all team activites" and not dismissed...

“I have a clear set of core values in place that members of this football program are constantly reminded of," Meyer said at an afternoon press conference.

“Swift, effective and fair discipline is the standard for our entire athletics program. I applaud Coach Meyer for his immediate actions," Ohio State AD Gene Smith said on his Twitter account.

Sources (and we know about all those "sources") tell ESPN's Brett McMurphy that if Hyde is found not guilty, he will be reinstated...

It was a busy day for Corch Meyers...
