As a result of attorney Mary Jo White’s investigation into Ohio State University head football coach Urban Meyer in 2018, Meyer retained his job after a short suspension and went on to coach his team to victory in the Rose Bowl on New Year’s Day. And White’s law firm, Debevoise & Plimpton, pocketed a cool $1 million five days earlier.

“We can confirm that the law firm was engaged for a flat fee of $1 million, which was paid by the university on Dec. 27, 2018,” said Benjamin Johnson, director of media relations at Ohio State.
