Protecting the Rich

Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer was placed on paid administrative leave Wednesday as the school announced it is investigating Courtney Smith's claims that several people close to the coach knew of a 2015 allegation of domestic violence against her ex-husband, former Ohio State assistant football coach Zach Smith, who was fired in July.--ESPN

With the college football kickoff about a month out, this is hella deal.

Corrupt, who said anything about corrupt?  As with the Joe Paterno/Penn State fiasco a few year back, it is simply unrealistic that the head coach, through the top-down guys to the ball boys, didn't know what was going on in a situation like this.

The universities protect their multi-millionaire coaches until they can't from a PR perspective.  Many heads rolled at Penn State; hopefully they will here too.

But I won't be surprised if they don't. It would mean everyone was satisfactorily purchased to avoid the main mess.
