We probably weren't going to get Patterson anyway. Dabo the used car salesman was working on him way before August. The MSM is trying to make it look like collateral damage, imho.Not hard to see damage has been done. Cost them Kane Patterson and at best delayed Peyton Powell's commitment.
like piano said....Kane was likely going to be lost no matter. anything that actually resulted from this was just something different for people to shit on Ohio State for. so this time it was Zach Smith instead of "Urban/Larry Johnson's retiring soon"......makes no difference to me.Not hard to see damage has been done.

from my viewpoint, this whole thing was done to mess with our Texas recruits. Garrett Wilson's twitter account tells me that it missed the mark.
Except it wasn't an investigation into possible domestic abuse by a subordinate. It was in response to an answer Urban gave at a press conference about a false report of a felony arrest that never happened, a report published on Facebook based on a single source. OSU already knew about the 2015 incident and that Gene heard about it before Urban did. There were no potential criminal, Titie IX, or NCAA viations. Neither the NCAA nor Federal Title IX officials were interested. The NCAA doesn't have jurisdiction over this sort of thing and if Title IX cared then they'd launch their own investigation, with subpoena power, regardless of what OSU reports.I don't think an investigation into the actions and response of a leader in a huge public institution surrounding possible domestic abuse by one of his subordinates is "silly".
If you're a football factory, and that's your entire claim-to-fame and your highest aim, then yeah... just tell everybody to f*ck off. But that's not the standard that applies to tOSU, in my IMO.
I should probably change my password just in case.
This is so much my opinion that I'm not sure I didn't accidentally log in with your credentials in a drunken stupor and post it myself.We're all @Buckeyeskickbuttocks anyhow... what's it matter?

This "investigation" was motivated purely by a concern over public opinion. They achieved exactly the opposite of their goal of satisfying public opinion about Meyer and his handling of the situation. And then suspending Meyer because he didn't report to compliance something that was originally reported to him by his boss the AD was just for show. And he winds up getting a stiffer punishment than the AD? We look like buffoons. And it just makes Meyer look guilty.
If there had been any chance of criminal, Title IX, or NCAA violations then I agree that an investigation would've been required. But there never was. Once again it's amateur hour in the Ohio State administration. And around the country people believe Urban Meyer covered up a serial wife beater for years and OSU is protecting him because we're just a football factory and all we care about is wins. If you think OSU handled it properly then I couldn't possibly disagree more strenuously.
