 if Urban reported this up, don't you think he'd be saying so to protect himself from being thrown under the bus?
Just a hunch but I'm thinking that's what has happened

Agreed.  I'm not saying I trust it, I don't.  Urban obviously has a self-serving motivation to claim he reported but claiming it in a VERY public way would be beyond stupid if it were not true.  
My new guess is that Urban will be able to substantiate that he reported this to someone and that someone will get sacked and Urban will remain the Head Coach.

Did Urban lie to his bosses and do they want to fire him for that? It's a title IX thing and the feds have to be considered. The rest of the stories are all window dressing.
The radio stuff I heard said he reported "other" incidents the Smith's had. But he did not report the 2015 redacted police report one (the one he claims he didn't know about.)
So I can see 2 plausible scenarios coming from that info. 1) He really didn't know about the battering or see the the pics. (Those pics were sent to her parents where they also sent to Shelly?)
Or 2) He defended the POS because reporting a divorce and a restraining order (I'm not sure what exactly was reported) are not fireable offenses but reporting a battering would be. 

The venom coming from C-Bus radio is a lot less than it was yesterday.

pretty easy decision to me

Sack someone in the athletic department - pay them off to take the fall

return to business as usual in the football offices

Might as well be bragging that he only terrorized her with his words and the threat of violence.  He's a saint!

So my thoughts are:

- Urbs was entirely too flippant about what he said to the media
- There doesn't appear to be any sort of cover up - Urban wasn't hiding allegations of domestic violence
- Whether he should have been fired earlier is dicey - on one hand obviously yes!  OTOH if everything is reported to the school and to the police, and everyone signs off that everything is ok, why not keep him?

Remaining questions
- What did Urbs and Shelley talk about?
- What did athletic department do about this?

Though it’s objectively good to be nice to people – or at the very least to not be actively offensive – political correctness will never be a practical... 
Man, this thing is moving fast. 
Just wanted to agree with you a bit here, and I believe that being "PC" can be taken too far.
I think I left of center, but the right is so far right I look liberal, but that's another area.
Sorry for the side track, but really, the only thing affecting me about this debate, is what recruiting will be like after.
