Herron was said to have sold a jersey, pants, and shoes that he had previously worn in a game. The other suspended player were quarterback Terrelle Pryor, wide receiver DeVier Posey, offensive lineman Mike Adams, and defensive end Soloman Thomas. suspensions would On May 30, 2011 Jim Tressel resigned as the Ohio State University football coach. Herron is expected to get his starting spot back after his suspension. Jim Tressel resinged on May 30, 2011 and Luke Fickell was named the interim head coach for the 2011 season.
On October 3, 2011, in an unrelated story, Herron was suspended for one more week due to being overpaid during a summer job in the Cleveland area. Several ESPN analyst, including Kirk Herbstreit and Chris Spielman, have said that they do not believe Herron or DeVier Posey, who has also been suspended the first six game of the 2011 season as well, will ever play or should ever play at Ohio State again. They added, however, that the pair should still be allowed to practice, workout, and stay on scholarship at the university.
