To what extent should we consider the notion that Drake is a different kind of president than Gee was?

[WingsFan]

He just admitted to retaining a wife beater for years. His whole defense was "maybe he didn't know."

Also, OSU was managing this in 2015 not 2018.

I certainly do hope people in Ann Arbor are watching and learning. There has been incentivized ignorance in Ann Arbor too. Hoke was ``aware but not fully aware" of the Shane Morris concussion incident.

Then why put Meyer on leave and investigate? Why take two days to say it was passed up the chain of command and found to lack credibility?

And now ZS is talking. He just said Gene Smith called him to pull him off the recruiting trail in 2015. That means UFM absolutely passes it up the chain as he was required to do.

[iam416]

If this somehow results in UFM staying and Gene Smith getting fired.... dare I dream?

There are always two sides to a marriage between two shitty people. Always.

Timing of this statement seems suspect. He says this now that this letter has been put forward? Why not say it yesterday?

Gene Smith and Ohio State are going to rely on police report to justify not firing. All of this strikes me as eminently predictable as part of the story. But, when you only interview one person....

Well played, osu. It's not what you know; it's about what you can prove. If there was an investigation in 2015 and nothing was found, then that's what you say. Urban couldn't deny lying at the Big Ten Media Day, but that's not as serious as turning a blind eye to abuse. So, you say he "misspoke" and that he did report to his boss. Shelly keeps her job, too. Then, you contact Zach Smith, remind him who his grandpa was, and tell him to support UFM for the good of Buckeye Nation. His statement coincides with a lawyer-crafted letter assuring everyone that Urban is a good guy who protects women. The OSU employees who led the "investigation" have no authority nor desire to check Zach Smith's new off-shore bank account.
