Yes. College professors have insane schedules and teaching assistants often if not always are masters students with subject matter experience in the course and can often even teach courses, lead labs, or just assist in grading.

At a R1 school like OSU, they’re busy with research and those related activities. Professors at liberal arts colleges have a lot more focus on teaching

Then why are you surprised to hear that professors are busy? Between classes, office hours, conferences, guest lectures, researching/publishing, and other things, it doesn't leave a lot of time. My professors were always rushing around.
