The issues are no where near similar, but this reminds me of PATERNO'S fall at PSU. When issues of bad behavior crop up it seems that coaches still think they are protecting the program by covering up. In the past when they were powerful enough to control the media, perhaps. In this age of total openness the need to take immediate action seems obvious, but somehow it continues to be the exception rather than the rule. When will they learn ??

Re: OT: URBAN MEYER on leave....
Seems like most successful D1 coaches are well versed in covering things up. I would suspect they kid themselves into thinking they are "protecting the program" when what they really are doing is protecting themselves and their multi million dollar salaries.

Re: OT: URBAN MEYER on leave....
I'm wondering if we should revisit Meyer's role in situations going back in his career, including Aaron Hernandez. Like CALUPA69 said, there's still a culture of protection in athletics that goes back to the old days when if something unsavory happened, it would just be kept quiet by everyone (especially reporters) because the coach is the biggest man in town. The Paterno situation was part of a systemic cover-up, and he and everyone involved deserved to go. I wonder who else at Ohio State knew about this, how far up does it go? I look at my PSU diploma and think if I should try to get one without Graham Spanier's name on it.
Ohio State is possibly going to fire their third football coach due to character issues (Hayes, Tressel, and maybe Meyer). Isn't one of those enough?
JAKETAMUC - I get the Title IX training every year as well, and the training isn't hard, but it is too often ignored.

Seems as if Meyer's wife also worked for the university and knew what was going on. She too is in violation of Title IX.
If fact it seems most of the wives knew what was happening. The story actually begins in 2009 at the UF when this same assistant coach, while again working for Meyer, began abusing his wife

Originally posted by Taxman View PostDoes Title IX apply if the incidents occurred in a privately owned residence during a non campus related event? I'm not seeing where it does but I also have not seen where the incidents with the Smiths actually occurred.
The most likely way for him to survive this- if he does- would be for his wife to take the blame.

Things have changed so much over the years it is hard to keep up.

Originally posted by JakeTAMUC View PostYes, it still applies to all faculty, staff, and students at the University 24/7.
Edit: Had Mrs. Smith been a student Title IX would apply but with their personal situations I don't see where Title IX reaches into a private residence here.Last edited by Taxman; 08-02-2018, 10:34 AM.
