3 Ohio State players reinstated

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. 13 (UPI) -- The NCAA Tuesday reinstated three Ohio State players suspended for two games for receiving $200 apiece at a charity event this year.

Junior running back Jordan Hall, sophomore defensive back Corey Brown and junior defensive back Travis Howard will be eligible to play Saturday at Miami if they each repay $200 to charity.

"The university appreciates the NCAA's expeditious response in reinstating these three student athletes," Buckeyes Athletics Director Gene Smith said.

OSU opened its season with wins over Akron and Toledo without the trio.
