I cannot name one Canadian's name from history. Not one. Try sucking on that. Get out of this thread, you have no colleges in Canada that play football. Stop polluting every thread with your drivel.

I never understand in these situations where people cover up for culprits that are largely insignificant.
Jerry Sandusky, this OSU guy, Rob Porter from Trump admin, Larry Nassar etc. may have been good at their jobs but don’t seem valuable enough to cover up for.
It would make more sense if the OSU AD was covering for Urban Meyer if he was a wife beater, but this is some WR coach. Really dumb
I haven’t talked to anyone, but from reading through shit, I think he may survive it. If he doesn’t, the shit at Florida and the bad PR will add to title ix nonsense. I only call it nonsense because the idea of reporting something to the university that has already been reported to multiple police jurisdictions seems redundant, albeit mandatory. This isn’t sexual assault type stuff usually associated with title ix. This is typical domestic shit that is certainly abusive, but once the cops are informed, and the woman decides to not press charges, it’s rather typical domestic situation. If you talk the girl out of pressing charges or try to influence her, you should go to jail, but this title ix stuff for this seems silly given the police had been already notified and clearly deemed it much ado about nothing. Stupid way to lose your job for being overly loyal to your mentors hotheaded grandson, but not some inherently evil act. And I’m not a huge fan of urban the man, as all stories I’ve heard are he’s kind of an arrogant prick, but this doesn’t seem something any different than you see in culture every day or seem some elaborate coverup like Florida. Just he said/she said/cops weren’t overly concerned type stuff. Everything I’ve heard is they are both kind of douches. Smith was arrogant, his wife obnoxious and a bad scene drinker at events, and just strikes me as standard shit in many young marriages that have had a little success between two spouses that are kind of jackasses.
Apparently, Project Veritas is about to release a video of "undercover" interviews with former players talking about abuse under Urban Meyer. This may get much worse...

The fact his is on administrative leave means its a 90% chance he is gone. I personally think they are negotiating an exit strategy. I know some Bull Gators from UF. While they loved the Tebow Era, they would have gladly traded it in if it meant Urban had not come there. Urban created such a toxic culture, it was beyond belief. Basically Urban had the Jimmy Johnson philosophy from the Hurricanes and the Cowboys: Not all players are equal, you violate the rules and you are a 5th round pick you get cut. You violate the rules and you are Michael Irvin you run some laps. UF has been adrift for nearly 10 years now, they just cannot shake the stigma from Urban.
By all accounts at UF, Urban morphed into believing in strict self policing from players. In other words players handled discipline. You know what happens then. Urban would have been revered in the 1980s and 1990s when it was a win at all costs mentality. He got a pass at UF, largely because Tebow gave him cover. He has nowhere to hide now. He missed the memo, he should have learned from Art Briles, and word on the street he could not fire the coach because he had too much on Urban, so Urban tried to get him a job at another school.
If there was ever a coach than belongs in the NFL its Urban Meyer.
Fucking Mossad.
Haven't listened to this yet, but should be interesting. Deitsch is usually really good with stories and interviews like this.

I am not even sure what all this outrage is even about. Is it an executive's job to "investigate" the private life of people that work for them to see if there is any ongoing domestic abuse. Even if they had heard rumors, or even direct testimony, there may be domestic abuse, is it an executive's job to investigate and act on such rumors themselves, especially if they are aware the police are already involved in the situation?
I mean I get why the shit that Briles and Pitino did (involving students) was wrong. But I am not seeing what all the outrage is about for an adult employee. I think most of us actually would't want our bosses nosing around in our personal lives, and would feel that was a clear violation of our privacy.
Maybe Meyer believes that as long as they don't bring their issues to the workplace, what goes on in his employees personal lives is none of his business. I don't think that is an unreasonable position. That is the position I would want my boss to take with my personal life.
Private companies vs public institutions is the short answer to your questions. Meyer may have been legally required to report.
On March 27, Urban Meyer signed a two-year contract extension that increased his salary by $1.2 million to $7.6 million per year.
Included in that contract addendum was a little-noted clause specifying his responsibilities regarding possible Title IX violations. Whether Meyer was in breach of those responsibilities will be a key factor in whether he coaches at Ohio State again.
The section in his amended contract states that Meyer must report to Title IX coordinator (Kellie Brennan) or deputy Title IX coordinator for athletics (Janine Oman) of "any known violations of Ohio State's Sexual Misconduct Policy."
That would include "sexual harassment, sexual assault, sexual exploitation, intimate violence and stalking" involving any student, faculty or staff or that is in connection with a university sponsored activity or event." According to the contract, a "known violation" means one that the coach is aware of or has "reasonable cause to believe is taking place or may have taken place."
Fair enough. I have a feeling that invoking Title IX to discipline Meyer for not disclosing rumors of domestic abuse from one of his employees is a pretty big overstep, but my understanding of Title IX is that it is a horrible worded, horrible executed absolute disaster of a policy to begin with, so this might just be par for the course. From what I understand colleges that use Title IX to discipline/suspend/expel students are getting successfully sued left and right in massive numbers because their application of the provisions are so unethical and unlawful.
