We're into optics now, I suspect.  Meyer may be on the phone with his contract lawyers.  The OSU folks may be on the phone with theirs.  The longer this goes the uglier the outcome may be for OSU either way.

If they come out now with an all clear, they will be excoriated also.

Urban being Urban
Maybe he feels strongly that he did everything right?   Obviously- if the BOT feels that way too, it isn’t just Urban.

Scenario:

Investigation clears Urban of any contractural issues.
The Board and/or President want a something, 2 game suspension, whatever.
Meyer says NO!

What then?

Maybe. Though from the start, we've consistently expected that the most serious actors involved were Drake and the investigators. So perhaps the most important unknown question is "Who do the investigators most agree with?" Drake or the BoT?

If he's truly cleared (full reporting, even of rumors, and no toxic environment where a serial abuser could hide and remain employed), the reinstate him and apologize.

Scenario:
Investigation does not fully clear Urban, but the results are not such an affront as to terribly jolt the BoT so they pick Urban to stay and feel like a suspension is a nonsensical option (to me, this always seemed bimodal: either he violated his contract or he didn't).
Urban nods.
Drake says NO!
What then?

Just saw a Twitter post which says the board wants to completely reinstate him but the president is balking at that because Meyerdoes not want to serve any suspension and feels very strongly that he did nothing wrong
A good friend of mine just sent me this:
My buddy is the VP of sales at 97.1 in Columbus and gave me this update:
Was told that this long deliberation was that the President wants to suspend Urban a few games due to the mess, not that he didn't follow protocol. Urban said no you either 1. Reinstate me 2. fire me and pay me or 3. I walk and you pay me.
Seems like this is the common rumor going around.

I am a bit surprised that Urban was invited to stick around for the entirety of the day's deliberations. His interview-style information matters (in case the president or BoT asks for clarification), but it's unusual for his opinion of the committee's conclusion to carry any weight. Although, I guess that is a lot of money...
