Brett McMurphy, the reporter who broke the story at Ohio State leading to an investigation into Urban Meyer, says he has received countless hate messages and vulgar remarks from Buckeyes fans in the wake of the ongoing saga in Columbus.

McMurphy detailed the disparaging comments during a radio appearance on Tuesday.

“I’ve seen references to, ‘I’ll make sure he’s hanging from a tree.’ I’ve had people on Facebook message me and basically talk about things they would do to my daughter, who is 14 years old," McMurphy said during an interview with Fox Sports IHeartRadio. "I don’t know what the definition of a threat is, but I’d say I have over 1,500 messages on Facebook and I would say 90 percent of them contain the F-word or ‘go have sex with yourself’ in a variety of manners.'

"All I know is that if Michigan’s play-calling under Harbaugh was as creative as some of the ways Ohio State fans have told me to have sex with myself, Harbaugh would have three national titles."

According to McMurphy's initial report, Meyer knew of previous domestic abuse allegations against former Buckeyes assistant Zach Smith and there’s proof of it through text messages. Smith was fired in July after a domestic violence order was filed against him by his ex-wife, Courtney Smith, the latest in a string of complaints revealing a violent past that stretches back to 2009.

During his availability at Big Ten Media Days, Meyer said he had no knowledge of two alleged domestic violence incidents in 2015 against Smith and had he known, he would have severed ties with his wide receivers coach sooner. Meyer later released a statement saying he wasn't prepared to answer questions on Smith and followed necessary protocol in reporting alleged domestic incidences.

McMurphy's bombshell report published on his personal Facebook page laid out a timeline of events detailing alleged long-term abuse between Smith and his ex-wife.

Ohio State's Board of Trustees and President Michael Drake will meet Wednesday morning with the investigative team to decide on what to do next with Meyer after learning the extent of his role as it relates to the possible mishandling of Smith's domestic abuse allegations in 2015. ESPN reports no timetable has been announced for Drake's final decision on Meyer, but findings will be made public.

Meyer has been on paid administrative leave for nearly three weeks while the independent investigative team has conducted many interviews and turned over every stone connected to its probe. Unnamed witnesses told The Dispatch on Tuesday that results from the investigation delivered to Ohio State's Board of Trustees on Monday were "extremely thorough" and touched on several intricacies of the alleged missteps in Columbus.

Those close to the situation expect Meyer to keep his job and possibly receive a suspension in the aftermath of the university's investigation.
