NGT: Urban Meyer potentially in hot water

FranknWeezer : 8/1/2018 11:32 am
Concerns an Ohio State WR Coach's domestic violence and Urban's turning a deaf ear towards it and recently lying about it at Media Day.

A pretty well-put together piece of journalism by Brett McMurphy (ESPN), IMO.

Will be interesting to see if Urban survives this. Have a read.

He'll survive it

But it's a really bad look. Unsure why they didn't just come clean about it at media day. Had to know these texts were out there from the ex-wife and wouldn't be too hard to track down.

Ohio State may be in violation of Title IX, which states: discrimination on the basis of sex, can include sexual harassment, rape, and sexual assault. A college or university that receives federal funding may be held legally responsible when it knows about and ignores sexual harassment or assault in its programs or activities.


The last sentence. The coaches were employees and Urban's wife is an employee at the college. If they ignored the employee committing the crime, then they are responsible

I wasn't referring to Penn State, but another prominent individual who coached at Ohio State who allegedly ignored some sexual abuse.

I dont know if any one will see this, but Ive caught flak here and been downvoted before for calling out Urban and his bag man & fixer that handled shady shit for him. Ive even said the guys name in here and on discord, and low and behold the guy appears in this story...

>A few days after Zach's 2009 arrest, Courtney said two of Meyer's closest friends – Hiram de Fries and Earle >Bruce – asked her to drop the charges. Bruce is Zach Smith's grandfather, de Fries is Meyer's "life coach."

That guy is still with Urban, and he is the guy that covered up shady shit for urban in the past.

edit:

>On a July morning in 2009, Courtney Smith sat across the table from de Fries, a former attorney and Shell Oil >executive. Courtney said de Fries pressured her to drop the charges.

That aint the first time he has been involved in things like this. The real story is there for any journalist willing to dig into that guy.

edit2: https://www.facebook.com/TheBrettMcMurphy/posts/2042037522486968

>"Zach once told me," said Courtney, "if he ever got fired and this all comes out: 'I'll take everyone at Ohio State >down with me.' "

this guy knows dirt. I expect Mueller to be speaking with him soon.

from the OP's link

"If Urban Meyer knew about the domestic violence issues, he may have violated his contract and could be fired with cause. The contract says he must "promptly report to Ohio State's Title IX Coordinator for Athletics any known violations of Ohio State's Sexual Misconduct Policy (including but not limited to sexual harassment, sexual assault, sexual exploitation, intimate violence and stalking) that involve any student, faculty or staff."

I think Paterno getting canned shows that a head football coach at a major state university cannot use their popularity to protect their job status if a sexual abuse scandal hits.

Thanks everyone - didn't realize that it was part of his contract and they already asked him about it and he lied to them. My reading comprehension goes down as my age goes up. I might need glasses - and I am not kidding.
