3. I got to back up Urban Meyer on this one.

No arrests were made and no charges were filed. I was in the anti Meyer camp
until I talked to a friend who is a retired police officer/detective with 30 + years of experience
and if the Powell, OH police showed up @ the home and did not find any evidence of abuse
and the wife did not file any charges then that is it. My friend told me that if they
see even a scratch or signs of a fight then the man is taken into custody no questions
asked.

My cop friend told me that over the course of his service that he had taken numerous
very high profile man into custody for spousal abuse.

Now I have no doubt that coach Smith was and still is a scum bucket and that he abused
his wife but Urban was going from he was told by law enforcement and the DA's office
told him.

And we are relying on him for knowing what he was supposedly going on. His claim that he was guided by trying to do what what was right was BS too. He clearly was trying to save face and, yes, cover up.

Nick Saban signs domestic abusers after convictions and MSU is a cesspool and Notre Dame let a rapist stay on the team these schools but yes OSU and Penn State were bigger stories so whatever
