After the investigation is concluded what do they do?
If he were fired under these conditions I don't think another top program could touch him. ND fired George O'Leary for basically lying on his resume. I can't imagine how they would justify hiring Meyer.

George O’Leary doesn’t have the same amount of wins that urban liar has

A program like Louisville's will offer him a job at some point. The upside is too good for borderline programs to ignore. I think it will be a couple of years before he's offered though.

He might last a while at L'ville. They seem pretty slow to pull the trigger and seemingly have no problems hiring a coach with "baggage".
He also wouldn't have even close to the amount of baggage that Meyer would, particularly in today's cultural climate. O'Leary's issues could have been explained away as some sort of clerical or logistical error had ND chosen to go that route. The fact that they didn't tells me that they wouldn't touch Meyer.
They might historically but look at what they're being drug through with Pitino right now. They've also been attached to some of the drama going on with Papa John's by association. I have to believe the next major hire that athletic dept makes will have to be squeaky clean.
I don't think Meyer's pride would allow him to coach at a team like Louisville. He will want to coach a team with strong recruiting and playoff potential.
Suspension...which really won't be one, because he will still be running the show from afar.

Nah. Notre Dame, after they fire Kelly for another lack-luster season in South Bend. Meyer has always had it written in his contracts that if Notre Dame called, he was free to go without penalty. ND is his 'dream job.'
I know it's not a popular thing to say, but OSU as a state institution, does have integrity. There is simply no way they can keep Meyer. The school is bigger than the football program. There is less risk in finding a new coach than in retaining a severely damaged one like Meyer. Meyer will probably go to the NFL where that kind of thing really doesn't matter.
If OSU parts ways with Meyer, which is my prediction, I would venture to guess that G-Smith will be fired as well. Either they both stay or they both go.

If the name rhymes with those guys, run.

Unless Meyer lied about telling Smith in 2015, I don't see how they could keep Smith and fire Liar. Maybe they could make Smith the fall guy and keep Liar with the old, ''the buck stops here'' argument though.
Regardless of what happens, we are about to find out what is most important at Ohio state. Espn has them rendering a decision by Wednesday
Jim Tressell got Youngstown State on probation on his way out the door to O$U and he is now back as President at YSU, Nothing surprises me when it comes to football in Ohio.
So we have the former Florida players on tape talking about abuse by Meyer himself and Durkin was on that Florida staff. Also remember that Earle Bruce was fired from Colorado State for abusing players and Meyer was on that staff. There is a clear pattern.
If Meyer is canned, I think Gene Smith the AD gets canned as well.
If Meyer is canned, Matt Campbell of Iowa State and Mel Tucker would probably be included on a list that had 10 or 12 names. Mel is from Cleveland, played at Wisconsin and was a DC at O$U.
