The Ohio State coach was suspended at the beginning of the season because Zack Smith’s wife may have told Urban Meyer’s wife that Zach had been mean to her years ago.
Remember, it’s the seriousness of the charge, not the proof thereof, that counts. So Ohio State should be excluded from the national championship because of third hand hearsay.
Accusations of abuse being, of course, not uncommon in messy divorce cases where one side is trying to gain financial advantage. Sometimes, they are even true.
Does that explain why Ohio State lost to Purdue High School by 29 points in the eighth week of the season? :-)
