Update, yes there are snipers:
If they’re actually snipers, they suck at their job.
I mean, they're cops, chances are very high that they suck at their jobs.
Their "job" here is intimidating protestors....
They can't do that if they're not seen.
They aren't trying to hide. OSU has these guys out for every football game or large gathering.
Wonder what Neil Young is gonna say
Probably something like, "Young man look at my life. You're a lot like I was."
In case anyone wants to see the university's now removed claim these are not snipers here is the wayback link:

I don't buy it. Guarantee you they have a precision rifle up there.
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a police man in possession of a good vantage, must be in want of a precision rifle

We didn't start the fire It was always burning Since the world's been turning We didn't start the fire No, we didn't light it But we tried to fight it
Here we go again.
I’ve seen this before, they intend to begin beating students soon and fear reprisal.
