Urban Meyer has been defrocked

Ohio State handed football coach Urban Meyer a three-game suspension for his actions in the Zach Smith scandal.

It’s not terribly clear exactly what Ohio State officials found so wrong in Meyer’s handling of the case.

I mean, we know the truth. Ohio State is angry and/or disappointed that Meyer kept employing Smith as a Buckeye assistant coach, even after a variety of unscrupulous actions, not all of them related to domestic violence allegations. One thing that came to light Wednesday night in the release of the investigation into Meyer’s actions was that Smith was habitually late to or didn’t show up for appointments, many of them on the recruiting trail.
