Ohio University made a big move on Wednesday. They fired coach Brian Smith. They said he did something wrong. Something that made the university look bad. But Smith isn't taking this sitting down.
Smith's lawyer, Rex Elliott, sent an email. He said Smith is not happy. He said the university got it wrong. He said Smith is a good guy. He said Smith cares about the team and the school. He said they will fight this. They will fight to clear Smith's name.
This is not good. It looks like there will be a big fight. Maybe in court. Maybe in arbitration. Either way, it won't be pretty. Both sides have said their piece. But this is just the start. More will come out. And it won't be nice.
Smith has been with the university for a while. He has done good things. He has helped the team. He has helped the players. But now, things are not good. The university says he did something wrong. Smith says he didn't. Who is right? It's not clear. But one thing is sure. This will be a big fight.
