"Two sources connected to the investigation said the likely recommendation is a suspension for Meyer. Drake and the board could also opt for a “time served†punishment since Meyer has been removed from football activities for more than two weeks."

When did they lie about releasing this weekend? IIRC, they only said they investigation would be two weeks, and it started on August 5.
... I'm thinking that once one has attained Gruntled status - and through some misfortune, becomes DISgruntled - REgruntlement is mandatory.
Yes. My understanding was the investigation part of it would be done by Sunday, the 19th. I had presumed that also meant their report would be done on more or less that same time frame. I did not take that to mean it would be immediately made public. My thought would be that the report gets finished and circulated to whomever ordered it up, maybe trustees plus, chancellor, president, and the like. They'd get a day or two to consider it, then they'd make a recommendation.
I don't know anything about public records law in Ohio, but I presume that because the report was paid for with public funds, there's a pretty good chance that it'll be made public eventually, unless there is an applicable exception or the attorney/client privilege is involved.
We may still not know what happened, but for me the key will be what did Meyer do when he had the knowledge about his assistant coach. If he acted consistent with University policies and/or applicable law (as he has since claimed), then he probably skates. Lying to the sports media just isn't going to get much traction. However, if he did to that, at some point the buck stopped and where ever that is.... To be honest, I still feel pretty queasy about this if Urb knew about it and kept the guy on his staff for any length of time, whether he reported it or not.

Looks like it.

Poor Brett McMurphy.
Gonna have to pick a new target to destroy.
He has been hounding Meyer since he worked for the Tampa paper. This has been personal for him for a long, long time. He will just keep raking the muck.
My guess is that if they suspend him it might be just for the first two games. They can win those games without him. He could then rejoin the team for game 3 when they travel to play TCU.
I'm surprised reporters don't get beat up more often. I would love for someone to start digging up dirt on a lot of these reporters like they do on other people and begin putting a microphone in their faces and writing columns with "anonymous" sources. LOL!

I don't wanna get this too NS, okay?
I'm all for freedom of the press, freedom requires it. But that's become a shield, too. If we shined the spotlight on the rotten fruit of a number of journalists, we'd find some bruises and less than perfect spots. That doesn't absolve Meyer of anything but again - MY problem with this from day one has been, "Why do I know more about what Urban Meyer did or didn't do than the guy who actually hit the spouse?"
I mean, if press freedom is what the deal is, why be so sneaky about it? Why not just come out and write the story like this:
"Zach Smith, assistant football coach at Ohio State University, beat his wife years ago. More than once. Pictures show he X/Y/Z."
Why hide all that, ask Meyer for a comment (knowing - just like McMurphy would if asked something embarrassing - he'd lie), and
then pontificate self-righteously with, "How can this guy sleep at night knowing his assistant coach beat his own wife?'
What I think would be cool is this...McMurphy set the trap for him and Meyer say, "Yeah, I knew about it."
McChicken: "How can you knowingly employ an assistant coach that beats his wife?"
Meyer: "Because I'm not the (expletive of your choice) criminal justice system, Brent. And neither are you. Next question?"
Because.....................no one cares....................and stuff...............Urban Meyer!
