Ohio State puts Urban Meyer on administrative leave
- Thread starter Red Reign
- Start date
Here is my problem with this whole thing. Seems like so many want to crucify Um or some institution for something someone else did and they automatically call it enabling. How many people who are taking such a high moral ground on this "failure to do enough to report it and stop it" are Catholic? If there has been a single entity across the United States that is so guilty of covering up Sexual abuse with no accountability its the Catholic church. Why aren't we arresting or firing all the Bishops and the Pope? What makes Joe Pa any different than those guys? Why is Urban Meyer even being held to a level that they aren't?
Anything is possible. But that doesn't make it likely or probable just because.
By the same token, take a look at where the judges in Lancaster County, including the appellate judges, went to school.
Again, Urbs is being investigated to determine whether he did (or did not do) something that he was required by both policy and his contract to do. It really has nutt'n to do with what Zach Smith did or didn't do.
Again..….this is nothing about what he did or didn't do by policy. This is about politics. You don't suspend a successful employee and go on a high level 14 day investigation on an incident that he reported to his boss because he might not have reported to the exact person. The court of public opinion has been all over this board with accusations of him enabling Zack Smith. Ohio State was well aware of everything on this and it only became a suspension when it was made a public showcase to go after the money.
Well, actually, OSU did, and based on the time frame, the investigation started before there was ever any claim known to the public that Urbs reported the issue to the AD.
Serious questions though: Do you expect an employee to be bound to do what both a policy applying to him requires he do? Do you expect that same employee to follow the requirements of a contract and do what it requires him to do?
Where is the Evidence that "Ohio State was well aware of everything on this"? I mean really, if that's the case, then OSU could have come out immediately and said everything was reported, etc. Why didn't OSU?
Whether or not the policy is driven by politics is another question entirely. I've never made any statement about enabling anything, but I don;t understand your apparent unwillingness to recognize that the investigation is about what Urbs did or didn't do, based on what he was required to. You keep coming back to punishing Urbs for what someone else did, and stating that the investigation has nutt'n to do with Urbs' actions. Both statements ignore the policy and the purpose of the investigation...what Urbs did or didn't do. It really has nutt'n to do with what Zach Smith did or didn't do. You don;t seem to get that.
Yes, it's extremely petty. I'm right there with ya.
Actually, I hope he skates through this, and gets taken down in a couple years or so, so HCSF and NU can put some beatdowns on him. That's how petty I am.
1. "We" can't fire them. That's the catholic church's place. Of course, they were covering up FOR the catholic church at the church's request/demand...so they aren't getting fired.
2. If they covered up crimes they absolutely should have been arrested. Shameful that they were not.
2 weeks to throw out some damage control, let the flames die down and prepare the spin on why he should keep his job.
I wonder if there is a difference between having "grounds for firing" and a mandate to fire him? I'm not a lawyer so I don't know, but it would seem that "grounds for firing" would leave them with latitude to decide rather than it being an absolute fireable offense. It's obvious he lied at B1G media days as he admitted it. I imagine it will be up to the University, and my guess would be they keep him because he's winning. If this were a coach with a near 50-50 record I'm sure they'd cut their losses.
I don't think you get that it has everything to do with what Zack Smith did.

Not really. What we're discussing now is a direct by-product of that douche bag's actions.
