Urban just doesn't seem to be the type to be corrupt IMO.
Guess that is why this news blew my mind so much.
Meyer most certainly did have something to do with it. Hernandez was consuled by one of the University of Florida's lawyers during the two day investigation. Plus, Hernandez was only a 17 year old recruit at the time. Meyer actively tried to keep him out of trouble and then decided that a 17 year old that hangs out in night clubs, gets in fights, and shoots people is the type of kid he should give a scholarship to.
Whether you're a fan of OSU or not, it's simply naive to believe that some real garbage human beings haven't rolled through that program, just as they've rolled through every other program. The more successful the program, the more crap gets swept under the rug.
Most college HC's that have long term success have a "good guy" public persona, but it's an act. They have immense political power.
