Urban only get's 3 game suspension, Geesshh!

[EstronHawkKing]

No pay for Urban in three weeks and misses the first three games and Gene Smith get's no pay for one month. These guys get paid millions, this no pay thing will do nothing to them. The way Urban read his statement off a piece of paper was a joke. He mumbled it like blah, blah, blah. Showed no emotion and really no remorse.

A coach knows about a player getting free tattoos--5 games
A coach knows about an ass't coach beating his wife--3 games

I told my wife as we watched him read it that he was struggling because it was the first time he'd read it and had no idea what the statement said.

We're playing on an uneven field, kids. We're banning guys for a game for TRYING NOT TO DRIVE DRUNK, and aOSU is giving three games to a HEAD COACH who intentionally protected a wife beater and ignored Title IX (which is apparently only a sacred cow when it's eliminating men's tennis programs across the country).

But I'm sure Jim Delaney will step in and fix thiAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA sorry I crack myself up he's swimming in B1G Network money like Scrooge McDuck.

It was disapointing. My take on the bit I aaw was that he was humiliated. I haven't read the report but basically Urban and the A D sat on thr info.

The good old bot neteork is dtill in place byt it is changing. Maybe this is better than firing. Doubt he'll screw up again. Maybe other coaches will be more afraid of the humiliation that outright firing. He certainly didn't seem to be defiant or arrogant. Wuite the opposit maybe.

The world of abuse isn't going to change until people are taken down a few notches. I do fele bad for Smiths wife which ironically has the last name as the girl friend.

That one reporter who asked Urban if he knew of the texts that his wife received from Smith's wife, and Urban said "I never knew of those texts." How can Urban expect anyone to believe this?!?!?

Unreal

 

[Bordone]

Yeah basically looks like they paid a private firm 500,000 to make it look like they gave a crap and keep the feds and NCAA away from this.

 

[vork22]

Urb said that he did not intentionally mislead anyone at media day. That is rich!

O$U = football >>> ethics

Well that was the easy part. "The" Ohio State board of Trustees do an "investigation", they slap Urban's wrist. He takes a little public humiliation, then it's back to Buckeye football! Nothing to see here! Laughable comedy. No lack of ethical conduct worth more than say, 3 non conference games. Hopefully Urban and Smith can get partial unemployment. My only hope is a recruit or two parents actually find this repulsive and don't invite Urban and company into their living rooms. Who am I kidding? Most of them would probable send them to Hitler youth camp if it would help their pro chances. Wow, am I cynic or a realist? I don't know anymore.

3 Game Suspension Coach....not bad eh?

 

[HaydenHawk56]

Winning is more important than punishing wife beating enablers at OSU it has been proven.

I'm in no way sticking up for Urban Meyer but all major universities are guilty of stuff like this. Football is king and unless something happens where a crime was committed (in this case nobody has been convicted of a crime and both parties have alleged physical abuse by their spouse) people are going to walk about with a slap on the wrist.

This even happens at Iowa. In 1998 Eric Thigpen got in trouble for roughing up his girlfriend and Fry didn't do a thing to him.

This conference is becoming a joke. Especially the east. I guess that's the price to be paid to get National Championships. Hope it doesn't start leaking over to the west.

No national championships here yet, though I wouldn’t complain.

A few will be turned off by this sort of thing. Ohio State has alternatives that are just as good. So there will be little if any drop off.
