Ohio State University football coach Urban Meyer has been placed on administrative leave amid reports he knew of a 2015 domestic abuse incident involving a former Buckeyes staff member. College football reporter Brett McMurphy published a piece on his Facebook account Wednesday about former OSU assistant coach Zach Smith and his then-wife, Courtney Smith. The report featured screenshots of text messages between Courtney Smith and several coach’s wives indicating Meyer’s knowledge of the situation. Hours later, the Bleacher Report and the Athletic reported Ohio State plans to investigate the allegations while playing Meyer on leave.
