watching their game vs Michigan yesterday reminded me of him leaving last Spring.Wasn't it a relative long time after the end of the 16-17 season?

Health issues

The program was trending downward for a few years. He was struggling on the recruiting trail, which he some correlation with his health issues. A lot of coaches were using that against him. And he refused to pay to get commitments. It seemed like there was no hope for a program resurgence.

The timing was odd as it happened after the dust settled on coach hires and fires. I love Thad - I think he deserves a statue and a building named after him - but it was time to move on.

Even a buckeye fan wouldn't believe this.

Yup, I do. Money was specifically the reason he lost Kobi Simmons to Arizona out of nowhere 2 years ago.
Sounds like we'll get an answer from the new FBI information coming out.

He was cheating and wanted to leave on his own terms and try not to embarrass the Ohio State University and hopefully get a job down the road somewhere.
