Investigators looking into how members of Ohio State's football program handled domestic assault allegations against former assistant coach Zach Smith have not yet contacted Smith as part of their inquiry, his attorney confirmed Thursday afternoon.
Ohio State's administration appointed a special working group late last week to review allegations made by Courtney Smith that her ex-husband, the Buckeyes' former wide receivers coach, habitually abused her. She said in an interview with college football reporter Brett McMurphy last week that several high-ranking members of the Buckeye athletic department knew about Smith's abusive behavior and did not attempt to intervene.
