I'm not arguing - or questioning you at all. I completely agree w/you. But it is really hard for young people to know what to do.

They did. One truly tragic story involved a young Michigan gymnast who was abused by Nasser in her home. She told her parents who subsequently confronted Nasser. Nasser convinced the girls parents that she was making it all up. Years later, when it became apparent that Nasser had in fact abused their daughter, the father ended up taking his own life.

Look - I had wonderful parents - a tiger for a mother. But the shame is overwhelming, and you think it is your fault. It's a difficult situation for sure..

The girl’s name was Kyle Stephens. She was 6 years old when Nassar abused her. I was wrong about one point. She was not a gymnast, but a neighbor of Nassar.

One of the articles this past week reported that in 2014 Nasser's medical superior at MS placed a directive in his file that he was to have a nurse present whenever he was with a female patient. What do you suppose that was based on? Well, supposedly no one else was told about this directive or requirement and it was never followed. The compounded tragedies wrought by complicit cowardice.

Horrible. It's shameful that the legacy of creatures like this turd is years of suffering and tragedy for so many.

Yeah. No, I get it, and shame on me for coloring my answer with even a tinge of defensiveness. You're one of the many good ones here.

That is some administrator covering his or her rear end, but not going to the top to expose it.

And I take it that if you know something like this was going on for years and DIDN'T do anything about it, that in IL it wouldn't be considered illegally, just incompetence.

Probably so. To protect pensioners (like me) from losing the money I poured into the retirement system, the people approved a clause in the state’s constitution that prohibits politicians from robbing, reducing, sequestering, or filching the pension funds. This clause would seem to broadly protect even those former state employees whose judgment was shown to be poor. It may be - I’d have to look it up - that a politician who is impeached can lose that part of their pension that was “earned” while in office. Not sure about that.

2010. Are you kidding me?

Unfortunately, no. Emmert and the NCAA never fail to amaze me with their incompetence. While MSU could be slapped with sanctions for “lack of institutional control,” the same could be charged against the NCAA.

Given the legal issues in play, the NCAA should wait until some or all of the courtroom smoke has cleared before taking any action.
