Just because you delete a text doesn't mean it can't be recovered.

I took a class on cyber security last year.

The instructor asked for someone in the room to give him an email address.

Within a few minutes he had 5 years of deleted emails and texts.

There are ways to make recovery harder.

But I don't know if Meyer is savvy enough to use them.

How about that this whole matter involves employees of a state university and that some of the more disgusting things occurred at the state university? Using state property for lewd pictures and to receive sex toys implicates state ethics laws and may be a criminal violation.

How about the fact that between July 24 and Aug 2 Meyer deleted text messages that were more than a year old, even though he likely knew that they could be relevant to any investigation regarding Zach Smith's firing? There was already a news story about why Zach Smith was fired, so there would likely be more internal or external interest. It at least looks like a cover-up and could be a violation of state ethics laws.

How about the fact that Zach Smith apparently had behavior issues dating back to 2009 but Meyer and Gene Smith didn't put anything in writing or follow reporting protocols until a month ago? Here's a guy who had daily contact with the kids they were responsible for, and the only thing they did was advise him to get some help. Granted, his worst behavior allegedly was targeted toward his ex-wife. But he displayed some pretty erratic behavior in other areas. They should have done more to address his issues and protect the players.

And of course this incident raises the question: what else may be going on that's been successfully pushed under the rug so far?
