Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said Friday morning that he was not suspended by the university because he condoned alleged domestic abuse and he did not lie to reporters at Big Ten Media Days last month.
Meyer issued a 524-word statement on his Twitter account Friday morning that he said was an effort to correct and clarify media reports about his suspension. The statement is Meyer's first public comments since another Twitter statement made a week ago that apologized to Courtney Smith, the woman who accused former Buckeyes assistant coach Zach Smith of domestic abuse and others at Ohio State of not doing more to help her.
