No. Ohio State came in and said they would take care of it so the NCAA backed off. It still doesn’t make it right.
It wasn't an NCAA issue in any way even if title IX applied, which it didn't.

The NCAA wasn't involved with the Ohio State/Zach Smith situation one iota.
Why should they be? Why should anyone but the police and district attorney’s be involved?

Don’t forget a kid getting a 2 year suspension for not cheating on and passing a drug test.
Sure he thought about cheating but actually didn’t.

Would you keep your job after a domestic violence arrest?

What does that have to do with the NCAA being involved? That’s a company decision

Interesting question DBG. I may indeed lose job, but should there be due process? What if I really didn’t dot it? Who is most qualified to determine if a crime actually occurred such that losing my job is warranted?

Zach Smith, in 2009

Does arrest equate to guilt in your mind? If so, then yes. Every arrest should have consequences.

No it doesn’t, and it shouldn’t in a court of law. That’s why we have a higher level of scrutiny at the legal level because it’s the most important.
This isn’t a court of law though.

You’ve nailed my concern. I think it’s problematic when we have groups not trained in investigating and evaluating criminal behavior passing judgment and potentially ruining lives. An allegation and arrest related to allegation doesn’t always equate to guilt.

I get it. But we’re talking about people(CFB coaches) who are intimately connected to each other.
I’d argue a head coach can conduct a much more thorough investigation of his assistant than the police can.

I see your point. It can go one of two ways. Coach asks asst. coach, did you do it? Asst. Coach says yes, end of story. Asst. coach says no, the allegations are pure bullshite, and tells Coach why. This gets very tricky in domestic cases, especially when you have a cheating coach like Smith. Even more tricky when a divorce is in play. No easy answer, but I just think it’s a dangerous precedent to put burden on a coach to make the determination. Coaches usually like the assistants they hired, and are often friends, so they’re not going to be the best person to investigate.
