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.
Wow.  I so want to know what the investigation found.   Sounds like nothing.

I volunteer to be on your staff for $250K a year.
I bet we could put together a good group out of here.
Hey Zach was making over 300k so you'll get at least that......provided you can behave yourself

Will we see the report's full text (with key redactions, of course) or only a set of bullet points/cursory summary?

OSU and black eye are going to collide I fear.
if that's their worry, then they need to get over it. they're already bloody and bruised, not much more could come out to make it worse.
just do what is right based on the investigation.
IF meyer is cleared, followed protocol, etc. then reinstate, apologize, institute new procedures, and move on.
IF meyer is guilty of minor protocol mishaps, suspend and/or fine him, and move on.
IF meyer is guilty major protocol breaches, fire him, announce it, work out details later.

i think i read that they'll be releasing the full report along with the information gathered to make their judgements. though i could be confusing their statements and the maryland ones.

I know Maryland is doing that for certain. I'm not sure about it here. Drake did promise transparency, so I'm sure we'll at least get bullet points. The full report would obviously be more transparent but perhaps not what he meant.

Fire 'em all - I'll take the gig
Ha, I'm OK with this. I sincerely hope they make you the highest paid coach in the solar system. To prove their long term loyalty. :- )

If the ultimatum is true, I imagine the *actual* worst case scenario for OSU would be for the president to respond to the ultimatum by stepping down, because that's just not the kind of place where he belongs.

 You would feel differently if this was Harbaugh.    He would say he standing up on principal knowing that he did everything he could’ve done and did all the proper reporting procedures. I have no doubt in my mind that’s the position you would take

I don't know anything about Drake if he's decent I'd hope the BoT wouldn't let that happen

But if you believe Saban or Harbaugh know everything about the personal lives of everyone on their staff- I would suggest you are quite naive.
With all the staff "analysts" Saban has, he probably knows everything about MY personal life lol...

Ha, I guess I don't need to post anymore. I just need to wait until you telepathically contribute my thoughts.
Anyway, I think I've been pretty consistent that the most important aspect of a university is the academic sector, not the athletic one. I probably lean even moreso on that for Michigan than other schools. And were a President of a university to step down because he feels his authority had been subverted by the power of sports ... 
Well, that'd be such an unprecedented and dark stain that the academic reputation of a university might never recover.
