In the statement posted on Friday, Meyer opened with an apology to Courtney Smith, the wife of former OSU coach Zach Smith, but then again denied knowledge of misconduct against Smith or that he had deliberately lied at Big Ten media day.

You don’t need to be clarifying anything. This only makes you look more and more like the child who’s been put in a time out and yet continues to justify why he’s not at fault. Just have some personal accountability please. Show those young men you can screw up and take ownership https://t.co/ZwzgYHRexz

When Ryan Leaf is the voice of reason, you know you may not be in touch with reality and perception. Urban should listen up.
Be easy on him. Maybe he’ll decide to be accountable years and years later like you did. pic.twitter.com/czNoR4OOqO
