Former Michigan star Braylon Edwards blasted Ohio State for its handling of domestic abuse allegations against former assistant Zach Smith, tweeting Thursday that the university and Urban Meyer "just nonchalantly handled a domestic violence case in the wake of the me too era."
Edwards criticized Ohio State for only giving Meyer a three-game suspension for his conduct, calling it "laughable." The university held a press conference Wednesday announcing that Meyer would be suspended for the first three games of the season without pay. Athletic director Gene Smith was also suspended for a period without pay.
Ohio State suspended the coach after Brett McMurphy reported Meyer knew about two domestic abuse allegations against Smith in 2015 but failed to act.
