What if the abuse never took place and it was a mad wife getting back at her husband? That's why we have courts, juries and judges.
No official in football can punish another for acts that were not proven. It would be wrong to fire Smith if Smith said it did not happen.
And, to add to the fact that Urban never witnessed the abuse, we and the university are depending on second hand information.
So is a coach guilty for the sins of another? I want to see the clause in his contract that places guilt of others on him.
I think the "The woman made it up!" thing is long gone.
