Michigan State is Dirty.

[auror]

Walton sounds like a huge POS and I'm pissed the rules seemingly never applied to him.

Walton denies Michigan St. assault allegations

No re-issuing of charges, assault plead down to littering, rape with literally 0 repercussions.

This won't be swept under the carpet because of what it entailed and how young women were sexually treated not only at Michigan St but the Olympic team for years.

No way this just goes away.

 

[Stinger92860]

No way UNC gets away with fake classes.

Then what the hell is the point of the NCAA?

Agreed! If your rules don't support your mission, change your rules.
UNC and MSU did far more to damage college sports and college athletes than anything the NCAA goes after.

Then what the hell is the point of the NCAA?

To call the police. Have you learned nothing from the Penn State case as it relates to the NCAA overstepping it's authority?

As bad as this is, and it's bad, this is a criminal case. Anyone who knew about this and didn't report it is guilty of violating the Cleary Act if not aiding and abetting. They need to go to jail.

Anyone left should be free to play college sports.

Michigan State needs to get the death penalty for perhaps a decade. That will serve as a deterent.

They will be punished like UNC and Louisville.

 

[the Q]

Lots of over the back calls that the refs held their whistles on.

If Stix denied Durrell Summers we win that game. Huge momentum swing.

True.

but not letting Morgan have his first good game in like 2 months (against a real opponent, not a 16 seed) would've helped too.

Between Blair's domination and that MSU game, I just knew Thabeet's pro prospects were probably gonna be overstated.

I think that there is a sort of "render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's" going on.

Example...when Albert Means was bought for $200,000 (by an arrangement of an Bama booster) to go to Alabama it was a police matter...& it was an NCAA matter. The booster was convicted on a federal charge of racketeering....and the NCAA sanctioned Alabama.

Failing to report known sexual abuse of minors to authorities and covering up the abuse is most certainly a matter for the courts...as we have seen with Penn State.

True that MSU is a collegiate setting and that athletics comes under certain rules promulgated by the NCAA...but I think that sexual abuse and its cover up is squarely in Caesar's realm.

I hate the idea that in a year the NCAA will come out and say MSU students were also being helped by this massive sex scandel so no punishment.

Shades of N. Carolina.

“We covered up sex crimes throughout the entire student body, no preferential treatment was given to athletes! Nothing to see here.”

Not sure what the specific athletic violations are. Failing to offer similar services to all students, rather than athletes only? 'Services' meaning sweeping assault allegations under the rug.

 

[David 76]

Yeah. Did they / cover for all rapists or just the athlete rapists?

 

[gtcam]

They will be punished like UNC and Louisville.

At least with Lville they lost their coach and sanctions loom
UNC - it's like nothing happened - THE MOST absurd ruling in any situation ever

 

[TouchdownHusky]

The NCAA and B1G didn't do a darn thing with PSU other than implement a calculated punishment regime that passed the sniff test but not so harsh as to risk killing a money producing member. The NCAA collected $60 Million, put a 4 year post season ban in place and cut back their scholarships by 10. The Baylor situation resulted in no penalties by the NCAA and the Conference punished Baylor by helping themselves to some of Baylor's revenue share.

It's all about protecting the P5 money train and keeping the NCAA , Conference and member coffers flush. I don't think they give a damn how many female students, female athletes and little boys are raped and lives ruined except if it threatens the gravey train. It's actually symptomatic of the pervasive effects of big money corruption.

I agree. Penn State was punished but not severely enough. They were a strong program and were able to survive it without long term "on the field" struggles (witness 2017 Rose Bowl appearance). That's why I used "decade" as a timeframe.

One of the reason's that the death penalty was only used once (against SMU) was that in addition to not being able to field a team for one year, they chose not to participate for a second season (they were afraid of getting their 'es kicked. The DP weaken them for years and years . . . and that, IMO, should be the objective. Michigan State should b sidelined for a decade, followed by placement at the D3 level (and not allowed to give out athletic scholarships) for another long period of time. THAT would be a strong deterrent for other programs not to be dirty. Michigan State's athletic program should be crippled.

Won't happen...keep dreaming.
