Just curious will the NCAA weigh in on this regarding Urban Meyer or is it up to the Ohio State Board of Trustees to let it go or fire him? A Meyer(less) Ohio State will be very vulnerable this year.

Not even mentioned on the ESPN site front page or NCAA football page. They did lay off McMurphy last year so may be reluctant to acknowledge that he's breaking the story.Their continued silence is deafening.
COME ON PEOPLE.... we're not Illinois. Let the events unfold.If I'm Franklin I'm thinking of trying to flip some tOSU commits now and negative recruiting tOSU in the future should Urban survives this.

Nah. First of all CJF doesn't negative recruit. Why should he? He has a great product packed with features to sell. Only failure salesmen EVER run down their competition. A good salesman PRAISES the competitor product - then points out the ways HIS product is even better.If I'm Franklin I'm thinking of trying to flip some tOSU commits now and negative recruiting tOSU in the future should Urban survives this.
How powerful is the football coach at O-Lie-O State/Open Showers University? When Gordon Gee was president of Ohio State University he said he hoped Tressel wouldn't dismiss him instead of the other way around.
I honestly think it comes down to the injuries. If the injuries included broken bones, stitches or significant bruising then Meyer would have been let go already. With the exception of the cut on her hand the injuries are superficial and unfortunately this is taken into consideration.The general public or the media will never see this as being as bad a the PSU case. Once the AG decided to grandstand with the accusation that little boys were anally raped, everybody wanted to burn the place down and anybody within 100 miles of it and to hell with any facts. Here a woman gets beat up...meh.
Not saying any of this is just (as in justice), but this is just the way it is.
well I've heard the report on Sirius XM radio on the NFL channel and they said they were covering it over at ESPNU channel 84. so there's thatThe fact that ESPN has yet to cover this AT ALL on their platforms is a very good sign for Ohio State.

Second - you let things develop for a little bit, and let them come to you. You never never never want to look desperate.

Why send poor Sarah all the way out to Columbus, when I can just check out the local forecast on weather.com?Lets hope CNN digs up that sage reporter Sara Ganim and turns her loose on the scandal.
I listened to channel 84 for the last hour and that's all they talked about. It's the ESPN college radio "playbook" show with Neuheisel. He didn't really commit to an opinion, but seemed to be leaning toward Urban being gone once it all unfolds.well I've heard the report on Sirius XM radio on the NFL channel and they said they were covering it over at ESPNU channel 84. so there's that
Or covered IN fire?and I was hoping she was covering the fires in CA.
Worth looking into Urban's "fixer"
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 at UF.
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:
“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.’ ”
Generally speaking, I hope that isn't what they consider. The message would be that it's OK to knock someone around as long as the injuries are minor and/or invisible.I honestly think it comes down to the injuries. If the injuries included broken bones, stitches or significant bruising then Meyer would have been let go already. With the exception of the cut on her hand the injuries are superficial and unfortunately this is taken into consideration.
Just like scumbag Dantonio. The media was fired up for a few days, dantonio said I’m not resigning, and the media moved on. I agree that the Meyer situation blows over. Makes you wonder what would have happened if the psu brass stood up to the media instead of backing down.
Not less dangerous. Look at this quote from a text he sent her just before their divorce:Less dangerous than STAYING with an abuser.
Urban royally f@#$ed up by lying about this last week. He should have just admitted that he should have fired him in 2015, and taken the flak. This is now exponentially worse.
being reported here.....Just totally bizarre that there's no hint of this on ESPN's website.
Not less dangerous. Look at this quote from a text he sent her just before their divorce:
Zach texted Courtney: “The past 3 months. You were going to try to give me a chance a week ago and now, even though I have done NOTHING WRONG since then, you’re done with me. I will kill that bitch and everyone involved. For ruining my life. I am getting myself right and getting punished. F--- all of you.”
Zach to Courtney: “Just know that now… I will find you when your out. I will come seek the douche your with. I will f--- him up to the point that no one will recognize him”
Some of the stats I have seen say that >50% of all women murdered by their Intimate Partners are murdered AFTER they leave.
