I have not had a chance to read through the entire thread and today, have only read the first 2 or 3 posts on this page.
My take on this thing is that tOSU got it about right on this one. Meyer is not being held responsible for the DV allegations against ZS. He is suspended due the entire body of behavior that he let ZS get away with. One or two incidents on their own might have been overlooked, but when you take into account the entirety of the behavior of ZS both in Columbus and at Florida, Urban should have dealt with ZS sooner.
However, one of the things that gets me is the media piling onto Meyer and OSU for not bringing up Courtney Smith in the press conference, implying that she was slighted in this whole ordeal. I think the media has it wrong when they expect Meyer to apologize to her. She should be thanking him for putting his career and reputation on the line to keep her husband employed hoping that they could work out the marriage, and then after the marriage ended, keeping the checks coming from his job. Had Urban not been loyal to Earle Bruce and then by extension, Zach Smith, he would have cut him loose years ago and Courtney would not have lived with the benefit of Zach's income all these years.
And I don't need to hear that it's someone else's fault that she stayed and was abused. If it was as bad as she made it out to be, she had the power to call the police and file charges. SHE chose not too. People can do what they want to lay the blame at Urban's feet saying that he somehow enabled it by risking HIS lively hood and reputation to keep Zach employed. But ultimately, if (and I mean a big if) she was physically abused, she could have ended it with a simple phone call and the willingness to see it through. But she didn't until the money dried up. Something tells me there is more to this story and we will hear about it soon.
