Report: Zach Smith to Meet With Ohio State Investigators Next Week

Former Ohio State assistant coach Zach Smith is reportedly scheduled to meet with the university's investigators next week, according to ESPN.

Smith was fired by the university on July 23 after reports surfaced that his ex-wife, Courtney Smith, filed an order of protection against him.

At Big Ten media days on July 24, head coach Urban Meyer told reporters that he knew nothing about 2015 domestic violence allegations against Smith.

On Aug. 1, college football journalist Brett McMurphy reported that Meyer knew of the allegations beforehand. On the same day, Ohio State placed Meyer on paid administrative leave while the university investigates Meyer's conduct.
