Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

I thought the bigger conversation this week wasn't this story but all the outlets and "open records request" lawyers acknowledging that deleting those text messages is definitely illegal and begs for police investigation but that won't realistically happen to Meyer in Ohio.

Haven't seen that.  It could arguably violate Ohio's open records law but not sure it could arise to a criminal matter.

Again, show me where I said that? For someone that claims everyone else is selectively paying attention to things that fit the narrative, you certainly like to put words in someone's mouth to meet your narrative.
Secondly, the police never stated they didn't have enough reason to make the arrest. They did say they had enough evidence to turn it over to the county prosecutor.

You honestly think there's no abuse here? Police issue in 2009? Again in 2015. Incident report from 2015 outlines abuse in 2014. Dude is having sex in the office, take d*ck pics in the white house. Ordering sex toys to his place of employment. This is a person you think is above abuse of his wife while there's so many things that point to major character flaws? I'll happily agree there's not concrete evidence saying he did, but there's a lot of smoke around him.

The smoke around him being a flaming idiot is overwhelming, factually not debatable and continues to billow, since he continues to act like an idiot.  
There is plenty of evidence-TO ME- that the DV claims are very much in question. 
Virtually everyone who has chimed in that might have inside info ( and there is NO Person that does not have some bias) does not point to clearcut DV.  Rather- a lot of he said- she said, lack of clarity and general realization that this couple was toxic.  
Gene Smiths attorney, the two moms, the notes the compliance officer scribbled, Meyers comments on that clip you posted- it all points to the fact that OSU did not feel strongly enough about the DV allegations to take further action in 15 or anytime after.   
The narrative that started , and lives, is just the opposite. And the facts do not support that narrative as much as they disprove it. 
The facts do support that OSU and Meyer gave ZS way too much lenioand too many second chances around his overall behavior, and he had a conversation with his head of operations about eliminating texts on his phone that were over a year old.  
Worthy of termination or suspension?  Eye of the beholder.   But DV was not tolerated or covered up and in fact not even certain to have happened.  

Good call. The lawyer for Gene Smith would never spin this one way over another.

For the record, I don't think anyone on this board has stated OSU covered up for abuse. More accurately, some believe that there was domestic abuse happening in the Smith home.

Courtney would never spin it would she?   Paul Finebaum wouldn't spin it would he?   you see where I am going here.....

I can't keep up with all the nuanced arguments that have been made.

These domestic cases are difficult to ferret out.  Even cases with injuries sometimes involve issues of who was the primary physical aggressor, was there the use of reasonable force in self-defense. How does a coach who is not a witness to the acts, and not an investigator for law enforcement, sort that out when law enforcement concluded there was no probable cause to believe a crime was committed?

Then the sex toys are ordered to the office. There are allegations of infidelity. The assistant coach does indeed have issues. He was let go, as he should have been. Then as later information surfaces, photos of genitalia in the White House of all places, the assistant loses much credibility. But going back historically, I would guess both marital partners were doing a  good job trying to keep this out of the media to protect a high paying job. I didn't read the reports.  I wasn't clear what happened between the assistant and his wife through that extremely weird, and not very revealing, press conference. 

I am not saying much, except I am in the dark about the whole thing, and these types of cases tend to have ample ambiguity. I have been in enough of these cases as an attorney to know that women abuse men, too, and can start fights, as well. And these can be very hard cases for prosecutors to win.

I can't keep up with all the nuanced arguments that have been made.

Yeah, me too.
This is a slow drip.
