Informative post. I didn't know that sequence.

There's more to it than just that. It goes back to 2009, when her mother and Urbie's life coach convinced her to stay with the POS.

Is Gene Smith gonna be in trouble? Local Radio reports coming out that Urban reported other incidents concerning Zach and Courtney to Gene & Title 9 Office.

Also several Layers coming out saying since Courtney Smith isn't a student or employee of the University she isn't protected by Title 9. OSU has a seperate Sexual Abuse code of Conduct (Handled by the Title 9 Office) that should be considered.

My understanding: 
Courtney isn't protected by Title IX and can't realistically sue OSU even if standard ops weren't followed. But at the same time, Urban was contractually obligated to report DV against her to the Title IX office.

I have no idea of the veracity of this information so I do not vouch for it.  I didn't even hear it myself, I'm just quoting @TyphonInc .  
That said, if it is true that Urban reported this to Gene and Title 9 office, Urban should be reinstated within a week.  In the long run that might be worse for Ohio State, but it should put Urban in the clear, no?  

So a large segment of the people who are defending UM are also talking about protecting the well being of the woman (aka the victim?)  C'mon man, be realistic.  You're right, they are mutually exclusive, but you're telling me you don't see the segment of people defending meyer and trying to dig up dirt on this woman to smear her name and character?

well, there's no need to bring the victim's character into the argument regarding Meyer.  The woman was assaulted more than once.  There's enough proof of that.
The defense of Meyer is about what Urban knew and didn't know and what he did or didn't do with that information.
The poor battered woman is no part of that what so ever.
If you're defending the WR coach Smith, then go after his ex-wife.
If you're defending Meyer, then go after Shelly or someone in the administration, such as the AD.

With Urban Meyer having been placed on administrative leave, the Ohio State head coach's future is murky. Now, BetDSI has adjusted its odds regarding who will be permanently in charge of the Buckeyes.

Will Urban Meyer be the head coach of the Ohio State Buckeyes on Sept. 1, 2018?

YES: +180 (wager $100 to win $180)

NO: -220 (wager $220 to win $100)

Considering the severity of Meyer's situation in the aftermath of former Michigan State doctor Larry Nassar and decades-old abuse allegations involving former Ohio State doctor Richard Strauss, it appears unlikely Meyer emerges from this scandal unscathed. Amid the No More and Me Too movements, a majority of students, faculty, boosters and alumni presumably will be calling for Meyer's ouster.

Who will be Ohio State Buckeyes head coach on Sept. 1, 2018?

GREG SCHIANO: -150

URBAN MEYER: +180

KEVIN WILSON: +220

RYAN DAY: +500

ALEX GRINCH: +1500

LES MILES: +5000

JIM GROBE: +10000

RICH RODRIGUEZ: +10000

If that's the case, why did they put him on administrative leave? 
Money-wise, Urban is INCREDIBLY valuable to the university. Don't you think it would make sense to come out and say "Urban did what he was required to do, and we had failures in our Title IX office that we need to learn how to fix."
That kills the PR cycle. Nobody cares of someone who heads up the Title IX office is scalped over this. Or even OSU's president. They care if the head coach is scalped. 
I realize none of those people above him want to fall on their sword, but if Urban reported this up, don't you think he'd be saying so to protect himself from being thrown under the bus?

If I were Urban Meyer, no I wouldn't be saying anything in public.  I'd be talking to my attorney.  
You make good points.  It makes little sense to put him on administrative leave if he did report but on the other hand putting him on administrative leave bought them time.  
You are right that the Title 9 administrator getting sacked is a MUCH lower profile event than the Head Coach but again, they may have just needed time.  
The other thing is that we (and tOSU) can't be certain that we know everything.  Maybe they are buying time to see if anything else comes out.  
Bottom line, assuming that the report is true, I think they are buying time with the administrative leave and the investigation.
