Story from the folks at Cleveland.com says that Ohio State's athletic director Gene Smith contacted IU athletic director Fred Glass to talk about Kevin Wilson's controversial resignation before pulling the trigger on a hire.
"I had a great conversation with Fred Glass, a colleague of mine at Indiana," Smith said. "We had a good, candid conversation about Kevin. I'm a straight-up shooter, I think most people would know that. We had a good conversation and in the end I felt good."
