David Wharton: Skeptics hope Ohio State domestic violence situation ends with righteous equation
The formula popped up during a recent news conference as Urban Meyer struggled to address the criticism and uncertainty swirling around him.
The Ohio State football coach was trying to explain what he knew - and when he knew - about a history of domestic violence allegations against a former staff member.
"E+R=O," he said.
Meyer was referring to a popular concept in which "E" stands for the events we encounter in life, "R" stands for our response and "O" is the outcome. The point is, we can't always control what happens to us, but we can choose our reaction.
"It's something our team lives by," the coach said. "You press pause and get your mind right ... then you step up and do the right thing."
