The termination of Ohio State Buckeyes wide receivers coach Zach Smith just days ago wasn’t the end of a scandal now engulfing head coach Urban Meyer, who was placed on paid administrative leave by the school on Tuesday while it investigates whether Meyer knew about Smith’s long history of domestic abuse.
New text messages reported by former ESPN reporter Brett McMurphy and an interview with Smith’s ex-wife forced Ohio State to take action.
Now Meyer’s job seemingly hangs in the balance, a surprising development given Meyer’s success in Columbus.
