Just read the report, it's unbelievable.

As I just texted Fishy (humblebrag), would not be shocked to see Izzo as the Cleveland Cavaliers' coach next year.

Nothing significant will come of this and no one that matters is losing a job. Too much winning at stake for anyone to care.

The president and atheltic director have already lost their jobs.

I remember circa 2009 reading a story about a Kavanaughed involving I believe 3 MSU basketball players that was swept under the rug. I got the sense that Izzo was so beloved by the media that he could basically ask the national reporters to not publicize the event and so it never really got any traction.

It's amazing the free passes Izzo and Self have gotten.

Sparty is a horrible place filled with horrible people. I'm sure anyone who made it to the 2009 Final Four can vouch for that.

Garbage town, garbage state, garbage school, garbage colors, garbage people.

At least we're not MSU ... ?

Do you think it's coincidental that immediately after the resignations of their president and AD the news of our investigation broke?

The NCAA is telling the public "pay no attention to MSU, look at what's going on at UConn. That's what's really wrong!

 

[spudzj6]

No clue how so far the reporting hasn't been able to directly hit towards what kind of punishment came from the football and basketball teams specifically. All hits were direct toward the university's (non) actions when given information. When the NCAA looks into the allegations, they'd want to hand down the "holding coach accountable" punishment - suspensions for 10 or less games. But so far, there's no information as to what happened between coaches and players. That needs to change, because as a coach you are the most influential person in their life in that particular time, if there's one person who can change the culture of sexual abuse in an athletic department, it's the coaching staff.

 

[CTBasketball]

Yeah it looks like Michigan State is going to get buried. Good.

I was more referring to Izzo and Dantonio. Administrators are just empty suits, it's the coaches that get the players and win the games and both of those guys are too valuable to MSU.

winning cures all.

[spudzj6]

Wow, forget my previous post about the coaches being held accountable...

 

[Robertelamin]

Wow

 

[Waquoit]

Izzo disgraced himself earlier this week.

 

[BUConn10]

So whoever read the full report for the Baylor incident, how similar are these cases in terms of severity?

 

[intlzncster]

I'll believe it when I see it. Less than 5% chance. Nothing to back that of course.

 

[Penfield]

MSU, Penn St, Baylor, etc. It's really sad what people are willing to do to keep the wins and money flowing. Im starting to feel complicit in something really terrible

It's as bad as it gets. From the top down covering up for Nassar, covering up rapes, covering up physical abuse against women.

What did he do earlier this week? I haven't really been following.

The president is a vile human being.
