This McMurphy is an asshat with no evidence really at all. Plus no charges were filed! This feels like Hoosiers were Coach Dale is at the town hall meeting and the media is the town

This literally has nothing to do with the actual domestic abuse. It’s 100% about whether Urban knew or not. And if he did, did he tell his superiors?

No charges filed. What a dumb thing to hide behind. Abused people often don’t end up filing charges because they are pressured not too. Which, it seems could very likely be the case here...from members of Urbans staff.

I'm just shocked neither Detroit nor Bowling Green weren't mentioned. IT'S A DIFFERENT IRRELEVANT COMPARISON!!!!!

That’s what I’m saying. There is no evidence he knew

The more "insider info" I read, the more I'm seeing that Courtney Smith is totally batshit crazy.

Hesitant to share this, but apparently it was posted on Bucknuts. 

Shit is so stupid. I don’t get how you fire Urban Meyer for this. If I go home, hit my girlfriend and she texts my boss’s wife about this and he doesn’t fire me then he should be canned?

If the police investigate and find nothing I don't expect the coach to investigate further

If (and only if) the staff pressured her to be quiet then I think heads should definitely roll. 

Also, if it comes out that the staff didn't pressure her to stay quiet, I hope Coach Meyer sues the shit out of this reporter for starting a story that was complete bullshit.

You have a girlfriend? What kind of self-esteem issues does that poor girl have?

This what I've heard a lot of too. Never an excuse to beat a woman but it sounds like there a quite a few "boy who cried wolf" instances with her.

You don’t get it. Just leave the conversation.

He probably thinks Joe Paterno should've gotten a pass too. Both heinous acts and if both coaches were aware (Paterno apparently was) they should be canned.

Apples and oranges, BR, and not even close to the same thing--please don't lump these together in an attempt to disparage another poster's opinion (he does that quite easily himself).

Trying to figure out your "apples & oranges" comments. Two different types of crimes but both similar in that both could've known what was going on and both could've looked the other way.

I don't think it is similar at all. One is looking the other way of a guy who allegedly beat his grown adult wife and that the police knew about, vs. a guy raping kids that no one knew about. 

It's not the same. Authorities were involved in the Smith's ongoing PERSONAL situation. The only issues are with Title IX and the possibility of a coverup.

They are not even close to the same. But potentially will have the same outcome, which I think would be justified if Urbans staff pressured her to drop charges.
