The ex-wife of former Ohio State assistant coach Zach Smith has opened up about the domestic violence involving her former husband and what she believes Urban Meyer knew.

In an exclusive interview with Stadium, Courtney Smith discussed the alleged domestic violence incidents she suffered at the hands of her ex-husband Zach Smith, who served on Meyer’s staff for 11 years at Florida and Ohio State.
