Oh yeah, for sure. Maybe he retired due to the stress, but there was some stuff going on with that program. Especially with Aaron Hernandez around.
It's fine. Really.

It's science.

No it wasn't. I know for an absolute fact, it was Gary Patterson right after Snyder retired for the first time.
The comparison to Tressel is a little off base. Tressel lied to the NCAA about violations. Combine that with the fact that he was an ageing coach who you could argue was going to fade, and it was a good bargaining chip especially since they had a very good idea they could land Urban in a year.
This is a much worse moral violation, to be sure, but the NCAA won't and can't do anything to OSU because of it. I don't think anything really happens right away but this could be something that hurts a season and recruiting.
I just hope Urban doesn't have another "health scare" because of this.

Read the whole report. Damn, that is bad. Also mentions that OSU could have title ix violations for failing to report domestic violence. Sounds like Urban got someone to pressure her into not dropping the charges the first time it happened in Florida.
If the story is true and he lied about what he did or didn't know, then the NCAA might not matter. Public outrage from him covering up domestic abuse might be enough to force him out.
Were there any issues at ISU when Smith was AD? I would’ve been too young to know what was going on, if anything
I would prefer to have Meyer bounced for covering this up, here is where I see it being pushed as different. It was one coach and she didn't press charges immediately. He didn't speak to her himself IIRC. He will play a little dumb and take a beating but survive. Once again, I disagree with how I think he will angle it, just how I think he will go.
One who forced Johnny out early for Floyd, Johnny wouldn't have anything to do with the AD while Smith was there. He drove us deeply in debt without any real plans. Did so in order to make it a stepping stone to a bigger place.
It'll matter for a month until they are 3-0. No one held him accountable for Florida being a mess until he started losing. No one's held him accountable for his other scumy behavior. I'm just not optimistic this is going to be any different.
Maybe it's the kool-aid talking but I truly believe CMC has higher aspirations then just being the next guy in to win at an elite program. That's not how legends are made.
Steve Alford has called a press conference to say he's not a candidate for the Ohio State Football job.
I agree with you, but, again, after Penn State, Baylor, and Michigan State, and with #MeToo a real thing now, I think the rules have changed. It is a new world now.
Universities cannot afford to be associated with this in 2018.
The politics of such hypocrisy and their liability are very different than even a few years ago.
