Ohio State places Urban Meyer on paid leave; Is ex-Rutgers coach Greg Schiano acting coach?

Ohio State has placed three-time national championship-winning coach Urban Meyer on paid adminstrative leave after a report detailed how he may have lied about his knowledge of a former assistant's alleged domestic abuse of his ex-wife.

Former Rutgers coach Greg Schiano has not been named the Buckeyes' acting head coach, though. Co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Ryan Day has been placed in charge of the program for now.

Ohio State, which was expected to contend for Big Ten and national championships this fall, will host the Scarlet Knights on Sept.
