I think so too. This is a way of covering their asses, cause when this is announced, they'll be a shitstorm from all the haters, and they'll be able to say (and rightly so) that they did their due diligence, investigated this thoroughly and not hastily, and came to this conclusion...IMO, if he was guilty of any or all of these charges, his ass would be gone already.
I give OSU credit for not reacting to this hysterically like I thought they would have. They actually seem to want to find out the facts before they do something. I thought it was going to be a PR-driven decision. I hope their investigation is real and they allow the facts to speak for themselves.
I'm not really a Meyer fan, but I hate seeing people crucified without anyone knowing anything factual.
Heard Chris Speilman's opinion this morning....that the investigation will find that Shelley told Urban and Urban told those above him. No suspension for Urban and he will be back in 7-14 days.

This, if true, will be good. But the fact that this thing is even happening is ludicrous and you know damn well it will be talked about 3-6 times each game. Gonna be a long fucking year.

To be honest, I could gaf what these fucktards talk about...the media made this into a much bigger story than it was, and anyone who isn't drinking the OSU haterade knows it...fuck 'em all.

And who does this fall on? Gene Smith? Let's reinstate Urban and show Smith the door. That would be fantastic.

I don't think anything happens to anyone if everything was escalated appropriately. Just shows that neither Gene Smith or Urban Meyer have any morals for keeping this guy on the staff as long as they did.
So I'm assuming you're on the side that Courtney Smith is blameless in all of this?

No...but tell me why Urban didn't fire him in 2009 or 2015, but decided this 2018 incident broke the camels back.
He only got fired because this story went public. He would have his job had this stayed hush hush like the previous incidents.
As I posted previously, how does a single offense such as JT DUI or Hyde punching girl warrant suspension, and multiple incidents with this coach result in no repercussions?

I know the 2015 incident was just allegations . The incident that got him fired was an actual conviction. There's the difference.
For violating a protective order. The fact that the courts granted a protective order to begin with should have resulted in his termination.
Also, if you are going to say Irban did nothing since not convicted then why did Hyde get suspended 3 games? He wasn't charged in his incident.

Pretty sure there was video evidence with Hyde.

you're a ND fan, correct?

But again, he wasn't convicted. The argument was that nothing happened to Zach because he wasn't convicted.

Absolutely not!

So, do you just not understand the difference between blind allegations and a video? I'm confused.

interesting...it's not that all OSU fans need to side with Urban on this, because I know a couple here it town who can't stand the guy--it's just that some of your arguments seem to slant in the opposite direction...sorry, jmo
