This morning a report came on Urban Meyer from ex-ESPN reporter Brett McMurphy. It is a long Facebook Post, but its worth the read.
Text messages I have obtained, an exclusive interview w/the victim & other information I have learned shows Ohio State coach Urban Meyer knew in 2015 of domestic abuse allegations against a member of his coaching staff despite his denial last week https://t.co/fcxi8GKyeI

The saga started when Urban Meyer denied knowledge of an alleged domestic abuse among one of the members of his staff, Zach Smith. The details of the long term abuse are horrible, but the worst lines are in the following conversation between Courtney (Zach’s separated wife) and Lindsey, the wife of Meyer’s long time confidant, Brian Voltoini.
Courtney: “(Zach’s) trying to make me look crazy bc that’s what Shelley is saying (he’s doing)”
Lindsey: “He (Urban) just said he (Zach) denied everything”
Courtney: “I hope urban is smarter than that”
Lindsey: “He (Urban) doesn’t know what to think”
Courtney: “I don’t really care. Ya know”
Lindsey: “Yeah, don’t worry about urb”
Clearly Urban Meyer knows something was going on between Zach and Courtney.
Here is an exclusive interview with Courtney, from Stadium.

Ryan Day will be the acting head coach until Meyer is reinstated, if he ever is.
