Tom Herman comments on 2014 strip club trip with ex-OSU WR coach Zach Smith, will cooperate with NCAA if necessary

Two days after Texas coach Tom Herman was linked as the other assistant coach who visited a Miami-area strip club with ex-Ohio State receivers coach Zach Smith during a 2014 recruiting trip, Herman addressed the media following Thursday's practice for the first time.
