Can all these McMuffin reports be fact checked for validity?

 

not following along, as I am fully sick of all aspects of this.

just wondering if he is still spewing half truths and passing on unverified things as “for sures”

This is literally all from the report.

He's literally quoting the report.

Pretty sure he's reciting snippets from OSU's report.....Or such is the impression I've been under anyway.

BTW @Raves

The report specifically mentions that Courtney Smith dropped the charges in 2009 after speaking to Bruce.

Quote

(c) Courtney Smith decided not to pursue charges following discussions with members of at least Zach Smith’s family, including his mother and grandfather, Earle Bruce (former OSU head coach and mentor to Coach Meyer), and likely Hiram deFries. No formal charges were ever filed.

(e) We find it more likely that only Zach Smith met with
Coach Meyer in 2009, and that Courtney Smith likely did not recant
her allegations of abuse at that time to Urban or Shelley Meyer,
although it is clear that Courtney Smith decided not to pursue charges
and that none were ever filed. Coach Meyer and Shelley Meyer took
away from the 2009 events that Courtney Smith was not being
entirely truthful when she called 911 to have Zach arrested.

Quote

(b) Coach Meyer did not inform others at OSU about Zach
Smith’s 2009 arrest. Coach Meyer has explained that he did not do so
because no charges were filed and because he believed Zach Smith
had not engaged in domestic violence in 2009

I don't want to get this thread locked so I'll not hurl the insults that absolutely should be thrown at Ohio State University. Despicable.

Urban is a disgusting person, I'm not sure what's worse, his actions or his inability to come with a half decent excuse for his actions.

"B. In the course of our review, as the factual discussion in this summary reflects, we identified a pattern of troubling behavior by Zach Smith: promiscuous and embarrassing sexual behavior, drug abuse, truancy, dishonesty, financial irresponsibility, a possible NCAA violation, and a lengthy police investigation into allegations of criminal domestic violence and cybercrimes. Repeatedly, Zach Smith’s conduct was met with reprimands and warnings by Coach Meyer, but never a written report, never an investigation and no disciplinary action until July 23, 2018. While we do not doubt that Coach Meyer respects women and is dedicated to fostering an environment of respect for women in his program, his apparent blind spot for Zach Smith seems to have impaired his judgment and his management of the behavior of at least one of his assistants."

It amazes me that Urban protected Smith this much and didn't do anything to actually get rid of him.

5. Coach Meyer’s desire not to publicly discuss Zach Smith’s
“cumulative issues” may have been motivated, in part, by his loyalty to
Earle Bruce, his mentor. When Coach Meyer and Gene Smith informed the
University leadership of their decision to terminate Zach Smith, Meyer
conveyed his regret in firing Bruce’s grandson, not his disappointment in
Zach’s conduct.
Stan White, a venerated OSU athlete, texted Coach Meyer
after the termination announcement to say, “Great job handling a very
difficult situation. I know it had to be tough considering Earl. It’s tough for
me because of Earl and I don’t really know Zach. Pray for both of them
(Zach and his ex-wife).” Coach Meyer responded: “Thx brother. Awful
situation. He said she said and 2 kids involved.” Meyer’s cherished
relationship with Earle Bruce may also have diminished his ability to clearly
process and assess the severity of Zach’s problems or to appropriately
discipline h

7. We are also troubled by Coach Meyer’s interest following the
publication of the negative social media report about how to change the
message history setting on his phone. While we do not know if messages
older than a year had been on Coach Meyer’s phone before August 1st
or
whether Coach Meyer deleted any messages, we do know that he at least
thought about and discussed it with Brian Voltolini in response to learning
of the negative article. Often, although not always, such reactions evidence
consciousness of guilt
