Meyer was put leave with pay Wednesday after national college football reporter Brett McMurphy's reported Wednesday that Meyer and his wife, Shelley, knew about domestic violence allegations made against Buckeyes receivers coach Zach Smith in 2015 - something Meyer had previously denied after previously casting doubt on the veracity of the initial report, also by McMurphy.
