Thank you.
So, how many? Or, when will the extension be filed?
The answer to that question is directly proportionate to how much of the $500,000 budget is left that needs to go into folks bank account!

I could see places like tOSU having a half million set aside in the budget for scandalous investigations

The Ohio AG set the cap, it was not in a budget.

Money isn't an issue for any of our schools.   They can find it if they need it.

Other than Urban's careless response at media day, this is the most dubious utterance by anybody involved in this from the osu side in this.
Yeah, so...
Ohio State's investigation into how head coach Urban Meyer handled domestic violence complaints against an assistant in 2015 could extend beyond the school's initial two-week timetable, university president Michael Drake said Thursday.

"That's the projected goal," Drake said to WOSU of the probe, which was expected to be complete by Sunday. "The investigation is underway as we speak. It will be finished when it is finished. The most important thing is to get good information so we can make the right decisions going forward."

My thought has been that if this turns against Meyer, Drake is reasons one through five.

HE is not Gordon Gee, but I am sure he wants to keep his million dollar a year job in Columbus, and certain folks (big money) have expressed a displeasure in how this starting to drag out. They do not want to see a set back in the machine like happened when Tressel left.  Like it or not, money talks and football brings in the money in Columbus.

Maybe. I'm not sure Drake cares, though (which is a good thing, I think). And I think he'd be more likely to stay high on the candidates list for the next job he wants if he ultimately comes off as tougher here, on the tough-weak spectrum.

If - in terms of aftermath PR - he comes off as weak on the football program, it will follow him like a shadow forever. (And that's even if he doesn't deserve the bad PR.)

I think he does care, on both fronts.  He is one of the Top 10 highest paid University Presidents, and depending where he wants to ultimately end up, a tough stance on this incident may not look as good for the next football power school considering him, but a university that does not have a power house football/athletic program may not care and scoop him up.  Hard to say for sure where he is coming from, he took a lot of heat over the Marching Band Director firing, but seemed to stand by his decision,and spent a lot of money in the process, so who knows, he may not care and may think he is above being replaced as well. 
Needs to wrap up quickly, the longer they drag it out the more of a circus it becomes.

I doubt any of us can really say whether this kind of talk is overboard or not, but apparently OSU is losing a recruiting coordinator or recruiting staff member of some kind, who cited "uncertainty" and "moral values and family influence" for his decision.


“In light of the recent activity at The Ohio State University and the uncertainty of the ongoing investigation, I’ve made the tough decision to leave the football staff,” Knox wrote in a since-deleted tweet. “I have been offered a scouting position with the NFL Combine staff and National Football Scouting (NFS). I couldn’t be more blessed and the timing just seems right to take advantage of this opportunity to jump ranks back to the NFL. I want to thank The Ohio State University for the opportunity and experience gained during my time with the program. It was a very tough decision, but my moral values and family influence helped lean me toward this move. God Bless and Go Bucks!”

It sounds like the investigation will finish Sunday and a public report will come out sometime next week. I'm guessing Urban will learn his fate after the report goes public. Maybe there'll be a press conference.
