Column: Urban Meyer should be either Ohio State’s assistant AD, or a FOX analyst, but not both

Urban Meyer serving as Ohio State’s new Assistant Athletics Director for Athletics Initiatives and Relations is a good idea.

Urban Meyer being a game and/or studio analyst for FOX’s television coverage of college football is a good idea.

Urban Meyer being both an assistant athletic director for Ohio State and a college football analyst for FOX is a bad idea; for Meyer, for OSU, and for FOX.

Just in case it wasn’t clear from my first point above, I am not talking about any perceived moral or ethical reasons that Meyer shouldn’t be working for the university’s athletic department (I have some reservations about him teaching a graduate-level course on leadership at the Fisher College of Business, but honestly I don’t care enough about that be too worked up over it).
