As Ohio State's investigation into head coach Urban Meyer and his handling of 2015 domestic violence allegations against former assistant Zach Smith continues, Meyer has been banned from the university and is not allowed to communicate with players or members of the team's coaching staff.

Ohio State's associate vice president for university communications explained the boundaries of Meyers leave to cleveland.com Thursday and revealed Meyer doesn't have access to his school email account and university-issued communication devices.

Meyers' ban from the university comes after Smith was fired at the end of July when college football reporter Brett McMurphy brought allegations of domestic violence accusations from Smith's ex-wife Courtney to light. Meyer was asked about the situation at Big Ten Media Days and denied knowing anything of the assault allegations.

Meyer was placed on administrative leave Aug. 1, shortly after a second report from McMurphy surfaced alleging Meyer was aware of multiple alleged domestic violence incidents involving Smith.

The probe into Meyer's handling of the allegations and whether he followed proper protocol is ongoing and it was announced Sunday the investigation would be completed within 14 days.
