There seems to be a press conference forming at OSU
Urban Meyer's wife Shelley arrived, and there are a few mentions that the alumni house is gearing up for a press conference today.
Also, I learned that Clark Kellogg is a trustee.

You can’t say that all that matters is a sound process and Drake has failed at that and also say that no one has any idea what’s going on in that conference room. Your rationale on this is not consistent but I don’t think any of us are surprised
August 22nd, 2018 at 8:38 PM ^
You really need to be a better reader. I didn't say that "all that matters is a sound process." What I said is that Drake as the President and chief executive is explicitly the one person who is responsible for the process. I am not judging, or pre-judging the outcome. What I am saying is that the one thing that can now be judged is the process itself.
And because this is a message board for sports fans, I'll make it plainer; when you give a big university a chance to act as a quasi-civil or quasi-criminal tribunal, or when you ask a university to act like a modern corporate human resources department, more often than not, a university will fuck it up.

My statement still stands. You can’t say it’s chaotic and also admit that you have no idea what’s going on. So just STFU with your sanctimony
August 22nd, 2018 at 8:46 PM ^
Newsflash: No one cares. It’s funny that you take pride as the self appointed most intelligent commenter on a blog about a school’s sports program. Must make you feel really good. Mom and Dad must be proud

They are in this situation because of Meyer. Meyer retained smith and all the bullshit that came with him. Meyer turned it into a fiasco, not drake.

Since this meeting started, I went to my office, worked a 10-hour day and am now leaving.
Will the meeting be longer than the suspension?
August 22nd, 2018 at 8:14 PM ^
They are locked in an epic game of Chutes N Ladders. Seems no one can get past the first rung.
August 22nd, 2018 at 8:31 PM ^
I don't trust reports that they are debating suspension vs. reinstatement. To be locked in a room for 12 hours, it seems like it has to be more than that. But, maybe I am just being optimistic.
August 22nd, 2018 at 8:35 PM ^
I agree, this long of a meeting means there possibly is more negotiating going on than debating.
August 22nd, 2018 at 8:35 PM ^
20 people * 12 hours = 400 opinions

These fans show up to show their support for Meyer but somehow Michigan is on their minds. Yet they try to say we’re obsessed with them.

How much you wanna bet at least 2 of the dudes in that picture have sexually assaulted someone?
August 22nd, 2018 at 8:44 PM ^
A bunch of white frat bros (and one girl). Exactly who you want supporting you.
August 22nd, 2018 at 8:43 PM ^
Must be getting all their stories straight.
August 22nd, 2018 at 8:44 PM ^
Apparently the BoT are leaving the conference room with their bags in hand. Either they’ve made a decision or they’re calling it a night!
August 22nd, 2018 at 8:46 PM ^
Press conference at 8:50
August 22nd, 2018 at 8:46 PM ^
Welp here we go. Press conference in 5 minutes!
/Sam Jackson hold onto your butts
August 22nd, 2018 at 8:47 PM ^
Reports press conference is at 8:50pm.
August 22nd, 2018 at 8:50 PM ^
Gene Smith and UM both will be there, so either resigning or time served
August 22nd, 2018 at 8:49 PM ^
Ugh. Meyer participating. Means he keeps his job.
August 22nd, 2018 at 8:51 PM ^
President, Meyer, lead investigator and Gene Smith will be there. Can’t see that happening if heads were rolling
August 22nd, 2018 at 8:52 PM ^
BTN carrying the press conference for those that want to see it.
August 22nd, 2018 at 9:02 PM ^
Suspended without pay for 3 games. Gene Smith suspended for an equivalent period without pay.
