CHICAGO – After his opening press conference at Big Ten Media Days on Monday afternoon, Urban Meyer spent an additional hour with reporters fielding questions on a wide array of topics, ranging from queries about the Buckeyes’ current players and depth chart to questions about former Ohio State running back Ezekiel Elliott and about the lawsuit filed by former Buckeyes linebacker Chris Spielman against OSU.
One of the biggest news items came near the end of his media session, when the Ohio State coach confirmed that fourth-year defensive lineman Darius Slade is no longer with the program.
