Urban Meyer denied using a photo of Martin to tell the team not to wear hoodies in meetings.
Meyer told the reporter.
Our team rule was no hats or hoodies or sunglasses of any kind, but only in team meetings, so we could see their eyes and make sure they were paying attention and not sleeping. We never showed a picture of Martin. You can check with any other player on my teams during that time to confirm what I am saying. The other players know what he is saying. I wouldn't do that. The man is crossing the line. People are piling on. But that never happened.
The picture was used during a team meeting, according to Marcus.
