'Time served' possible for Urban Meyer as Ohio State investigation wraps

It appears Urban Meyer could be back in Ohio State's locker room this week.

The school's board of trustees will meet Wednesday, but the Columbus Dispatch is reporting that "time served" could ultimately end up being Meyer's only punishment for his role and actions surrounding former assistant coach Zach Smith.

Meyer has been on paid administrative leave since Aug. 1.

Two sources connected to investigation said likely recommendation to Ohio State President Michael Drake is suspension for Urban Meyer, Columbus Dispatch reports. Drake could opt for "time served" punishment since Meyer has been removed from football program for more than 2 weeks

What had come into question surround Meyer was his handling of Smith, someone who had been accused of domestic violence on multiple occasions.
