If there are alternative facts, then the investigation can explain them. If not, surely you don't expect a good ending.

July 17: Courtney Smith filed the protective order.
July 20: protective order was reported by the media
July 23: Zach Smith fired

Who knows what Urban Meyers "last straw" was with Zach? And frankly, beyond morals, why does it matter?

Did you expect the police department to have a direct line reporting to Meyer of the protective order?

What story are you looking for? As I said the likely story is exactly what is unfolding. Meyer stuck with a friend until it became untenable for a variety of reasons. Meyer reported the issue back in 2015. Then Ohio State did something about it. Committee will figure out what came out of it, and to remind you, by reporting it, school has already satisfied Title IX requirements.

So back in 2015, was Ohio State supposed to fire someone on an allegation where no charges were pressed?

What you're looking for is at a point where it's not an urban Meyer nor Ohio State story anymore.
