The ex-wife of former Ohio State wide receivers coach and recruiting coordinator Zach Smith says she told Urban Meyer's wife about being abused by her then husband.

In an interview with Stadium, Courtney Smith says she texted photos of the abuse to Shelley Meyer in 2015 and spoke to her on the phone. Courtney said she was legally separated from Zach at that point and hoped the behavior would stop.

"Shelley said she was going to have to tell Urban," Courtney said. "I said 'that's fine.' You should tell Urban. We can't have somebody like this coaching young men.
