Source: OSU offered Meyer a buyout and Meyer Legal team called their bluff and is all in on Meyer’s reputation threatening long legal battle; source says the committee believes backing down to Meyer will blow over faster than years worth of court battles and Meyer will be announced reinstated for time served. Reason for law firm budget adjustment is for retainer if they decide to pursue termination.
Ohio state Vs. Meyer

Making your BOT as Pussy like as ours. Pathetic ....If true, do they think this will not be common knowledge in short order? Good God, are they trying to make SCUM and Harbaugh look good?
This would kinda make sense of the post from the bucknuts poster that said Meyer was told he was being let go.
Why would an OSU poster come here to update the PSU board?
TOSU is being blackmailed by their football coach? LOL! What a shitshow if true.
I just hope he doesn't fire the AD
To skew a quote from It’s A Wonderful Life, “I’m not sure, but this has all the makings of a football culture George.”

Here's a thought.... fire his ass with no compensation, Let his lawyers work on that. Watch the good ones line up for 30% of nothing.
No problem. They can call PSUs BOT, and they’ll gladly cut Urby a check for like $100 mil.
Yeah, I mean I can’t imagine that osu doesn’t have the in house and external resources to grind down Meyer. I believe the ultimate outcome described by the op but think it’s solely because they didn’t want to fire him to begin with, not because Meyer strong armed them.
Let me see here, a poster called OmahaBuck makes his first post on the Pennstate board regarding sensitive information regarding a huge issue for OSU and we are -to take it seriously??? Um yea
I understand the suspicion. Info is solid. Trying to let the rest of the B1G know.
What about the reputation of Joe. The PSU debacle has certainly taught many how not to do things. Delaney where are you? Emmert where are you? Meyers reputation has been taken hits for a period of time, remember Florida and the clean up that was necessary after his departure. Same thing here! LACK OF INSTITUTIONAL CONTROL.
LMAO. Sorry but if that's true its one of the saddest most pathetic things I've ever heard.
Reminds me of George Costanza working at Play Now Sports. The company wanted him to leave but he forced them to honor the contract. Maybe Meyer will come to work someday and his office door will be boarded shut. He should be alright as long as nobody throws an oil filled ball out a window.
How amazing is it that Emmert and Delaney haven't gone after MSU and OSU? Only two differences that I see. 1) Their BOTs didn't throw their coaches under the bus, and 2) The coaches don't have the fame and reputation of Joe Paterno.
Problem with this scenario. If there are grounds to dismiss Meyer they would be contained in the report Debevoise was hired to produce for OSU. So what does OSU do with the report? Bury it? Doctor it to reflect benign circumstances? That's risky stuff.
If you allow your football coach to hold your school hostage, there is definitely a lack of institutional control.
Not sure that it matters. If there is a disconnect between the findings of the report and the actions taken, there is always a possibility, a good one, of those findings leaking out.
Remember when opposing fanbases claimed that Joe was the most powerful man in the state? If this plays out as the OP suggests, this seems like more of a power play than anything we ever heard from Paterno.
Yep.
I'm not sure if I believe the original post ---- but IF it is true, well, that tells you the most powerful man in Columbus isn't Governor Kasich. It's literally a case of Meyer holding Ohio State University hostage!

This is absolutely laughable. We wanted to punish Coach Meyer but he wouldn't let us. That might be the new definition of LOIC!
