JT Barrett cited for OMVI

[cwerph]

Supposedly blew a 0.08 - right on the dot; but he is only 20.

Will plead down to reckless operation, but expect at least a 1 game suspension.

Hope it is not true. Supposedly he called Cardale to come bail him out.

At least... I'm afraid it's going to more.

Sad

What a dumbass! If Cardale shines in the Minny game, he may have just stolen back the starting job. JT should have known better - those checkpoint locations are published days in advance. He will probably plead this down to underage consumption and get one game riding the pine.

My belief is that Urban announced Minnesota to try to squash the bad press, but it will be eventually 2 games:

grfx.cstv.com/schools/osu/graphics/pdf/handbook/Student-Athlete-Handbook.pdf

page 28

The student athlete who has an alcohol/substance abuse occurrence
(DUI, underage possession, etc.) will be subject to more stringent
alcohol testing as part of their management plan. Any positive
test for alcohol in these student athletes who are under 21 will be
deemed a second positive in the program.
B. Second Positive
1. The management team will be informed of the second positive drug
test and/or substance abuse occurrence.
2. The student-athlete will be re-evaluated by the intervention
coordinator and a substance abuse counselor approved by the
Department of Athletics to determine subsequent treatment options.
3. The student-athlete will meet with the management team to discuss
any recommended changes to the previous plan that was in place.
4. The student-athlete will be subject to a two-week suspension from
all competition at the earliest available time. If the student athlete
competes in multiple sports, the suspension will be served in the
sport that the positive tests occurred. If the positive tests occurred
in more than one sport, the suspension will be served at the earliest
available time.
5. Re-instatement to the team will be considered by the Athletic Director
or his/her designee in consultation with the management team.
6. The student-athlete will be subject to reasonable cause testing.

When you take kids/adults out of a very structured routine and leave them to their own devices for a week or two, they will make mistakes.

I believe that JT is a good kid, and sometime good people make bad choices. This is no different. It will be a lesson for sure. The key becomes is he can learn from this and not let it happen again.

According to Gene Smith, it's just a one week suspension:

Suspended for the Minnesota game by Urban according to 11 W. "Athletic Director Gene Smith tells Eleven Warriors because it is a misdemeanor, Barrett is not subject to the mandatory two-week suspension."

How convenient...

Look, we've all done stupid sh!t...and blowing a .08 is nothing, however, he's supposed to be a leader and grasp the responsibility. He'll have all the time in the world to do dumb sh!t after he graduates. Never thought this kid would get into trouble like this...

Well, back to 3 and outs against Minny...

[cwerph]

This is what I saw quoted:

Here's more clarity from 11W: "Athletic Director Gene Smith tells Eleven Warriors because it is a misdemeanor, Barrett is not subject to the mandatory two-week suspension. Smith said the ongoing suspension is up to the discretion of head coach Urban Meyer."

I hope he gets the second week.

He was barely over .08; the underage issue is the bigger problem for him. He probably had a beer or two at a party but drove home the wrong way - right through the DUI Checkpoint. Then he tried to avoid it, which is a giant red flag for the officers manning it. He was dumb to drink and drive, but even dumber to go home that way when the locations are published EVERYWHERE days ahead of time. CPD always sets up DUI checkpoints in the campus area around Halloween. Always! If you live around campus, you just know that from the time you come in as a freshman.

He weighs 225. He had at least 4 and probably 5 if it was beer.
