Mitch Albom: No surprise Urban Meyer guilty, yet forgiven

When Urban Meyer stood to read his “apology” at a news conference last week, he looked like the bully who was forced to say he’s sorry to the skinny schoolkid. He raced through it and sat back down, as if to say, “OK? Satisfied?”

It is the behavior of someone who only admits he's done something wrong when forces more powerful than him insist on it. It’s the reason he was behind the curve on everything during the recent Ohio State scandal.

He lied when asked if he’d known about the 2015 abuse allegations against his assistant coach Zach Smith.
