  1. I assume any head coach at any big time football/basketball university is a jackass. Some are just better at covering it up, or at least know where to draw the line.
  2. "From the outside looking in, you can't understand it."
  3. Next interview with ESPN Zach's gonna claim the real abuser is still out there, and now that he's free of his job at tOSU, he'll dedicate the rest of his life to finding them and bringing them to justice.
  4. If tOSU is actually trying to find a way to keep Urban, and not just figuring out who else they need to get rid of, gonna need a text from Urban saying he knows about the incidents. More incriminating texts about Smith doesn't really move the needle with regards to Urban. Everyone (sans Zach and I guess some crazy tOSU fans...and Jay Paterno) already knows he's guilty.
  5. They'll find/pay some secretary/student worker to say they lost the email.
  6. He didn't say when he reported the incident. Clearly, he learned of the incident after Big 10 media day, but before McMurphy broke his story, and reported it to the proper authorities.. Nothing to see here.
  7. If they're dumb enough not to fire him/have him "step aside voluntarily for the good of the university", I'm sure McMurphy has more details he can share publicly. tOSU can get off the Aggy-like coaster now, or suffer a more spectacular crash down the road.
  8. https://www.buckeyeplanet.com/forum/forums/buckeye-football.2/ There's an 760-page thread on Urban there if you've got free time on your hands...
  9. Nah, it's clearly because everyone knows no amount of money could pry Jimbo from the glorious athletic and academic powerhouse that is Aggy.
  10. Bold strategy cotton. Make so many hypocritical/tone deaf statements that no one can believe you could say all that and possibly have known about your assistant abusing his wife.
  11. Shelley Meyer is a RN and instructor at tOSU. This makes her an employee of tOSU. Universities that receive federal funding can be held legally responsible when it knows about and ignores incidents of sexual assault or harassment in its programs. Doesn't matter that Courtney Smith wasn't a coed or student athlete. Shelley Meyer knew, thus tOSU knew (at least in the eyes of Title IX even if she didn't tell anyone else), and is legally responsible for not taking action.
  12. Earlier incidents occurred in 2009, when Herman was at Iowa State. Regardless, the only incidents relevant to Meyer's denials were those from October 0f 2015.
  13. Herman was already at Houston at the time of the 2015 incident(s).
  14. Between this and the sexual misconduct scandal, a lot of people should be going down with the ship.
  15. 3 national titles says many schools will find this situation much more palatable than Briles', should Meyer get fired/leave for health reasons.
  16. They might be the only D1 power conference team willing to take on all that baggage. What's the NCAA gonna do if Meyer screws up at Kansas, give their football program the death penalty? Can't kill what's already dead.
  17. I wonder if he thinks tOSU is a cesspool yet?
  18. SEC needs to step its game up. They might have just lost the "most deplorable conference" trophy to the Big 10's East Division alone (tOSU, Sparty, PSU).
  19. Dennis Dodd sounds like he needs to start covering the SEC exclusively. This attitude fits in perfectly in that conference.
  20. 4-year extension for Gurley. ESPN reporting it's worth $60 million ($45 million of that guaranteed). http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/24183860/los-angeles-rams-todd-gurley-agree-record-deal-worth-45-million-guaranteed-money
  21. If Sacramento thinks something is a good idea, it's not. Chicago should let him walk.
  22. Good thing Golden State broke that troubling trend this year.
  23. The Lakers have far less time here to pay up or risk losing out. If they want all three, Kawhi has to be traded to them before everything else to make the money work. Furthermore, LeBron has expressed through his handlers that he doesn't want to be the first star to jump ship to LA this offseason. Yeah, LeBron could always change his mind even if Kawhi is traded to LA. I really, really doubt LA is willing to take that risk and end up whiffing on everyone this offseason because they don't want to include an extra young player and an extra pick or two.
  24. True, but the Lakers are trying to woo the best player in the NBA (LeBron), as well as bring in Kawhi and PG to compete for championships. That play likely goes out the window if they don't get Kawhi. They are risking the chance to be one of the front runners for the NBA title for the next few years. The Spurs are rebuilding once Kawhi leaves, with or without a shitty Lakers pick and a decent young player, which is what the Lakers are offering at this point. The Spurs have far less to lose than the Lakers.
