"Ohio State officials failed to act as doctor abused 177 athletes over nearly two decades"
Pretty sure this has been known, but the investigation findings were released today:
It's clear that in the arms race for sexual assault scandals, our closest rivals have all now surpassed us
After hiring a basketball coach 85% of us will hate, Warde needs to get on this right away.
Just more proof that “State” schools need to be sent to Bolivia
We're not a sexual assault school!!!
Am I doing this right?
MSU = "THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE BASKETBALL AND FOOTBALL PROGRAMS"
OSU = "THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FOOTBALL PROGRAM" [d/n care about other sports]
Flip the percentages but triple how loud they'll be about it and I'll sign off.
Something new Msu and Osu have in common . Continuing to prove how shitty an institution they really are !
It's like a B1G Fulmer Cup.
Sigh.
im shocked
So now what?
Is Drake's statement the end?
OSU is fortunate (through no fault or action of their own) that the doctor has been dead for over a decade and just by how time works in that most of the people who could be held responsible have moved on from the University.
MSU had a current employee, being covered up by current leadership, and a trail to play out live time. OSU has none of that really so whatever comes of it might be some monetary punishment, but nothing more.
How is this different from Sandusky? He raped like 30 boys (less than OSU creep). I guess he was still alive though.
What do you mean how is this different from Sandusky?
Sandusky was still alive when the investigation happened and his charity was still operating in State College throughout the 2000s. Paterno and other heads of PSU were all still around PSU to be punished/looked into.
OSU has very little, if anyone left over from this doctor's supervising structure and he's dead. The University on the whole might have some culpability remaining legally, but there isn't a Lou Anna Simon or Turd Ferguson leftover to be held accountable.
It’s closer to the MSU issue than it is Sandusky. At both MSU and OSU a doctor in the athletic department committing sexual assault and everybody closing their eyes to it. Nassar is in prison and the OSU doc killed him self
Sandusky was an actual coach in the athletic department and was raping underage kids. Again, everybody closed their eyes to it
All of the issues are disgusting so no difference in that regard. Grown men and women hiding behind plausible deniability instead of preventing future victims.
I’d be surprised if Jim Jordan is able to further avoid the massive fallout that he is due.
Dr. Jelly Paws...
So ... MSU and now OSU? Their is a parallel here somewhere.
You forget PSU.
Never ever forget ped state. The majority of that fanbase are unbelievably still in DENIAL AND are a bunch of sanctimonious PRICKS!!!
BTW, FUCK ped state and all their delusional joepa loving fans and all the paternos and field goal franklin!!!
You think "Field Goal Franklin," is clever and a line worth preserving.
You're a zoo exhibit to me. Are you even real or are you a robot who generates gifs and repetitive schtick?
Evil schools are evil. This is what happens when athletic departments are run in the shadows, and there is no accountability or oversight for coaches and trainers. I have no problem with paying players, but when a large part of college athletics is based on cheating and keeping a coach like Urban Meyer from being directly implicated in rule breaking (by preventing reporting of rules violations to him) these are the consequences.
Its the schools job to know these things are happening, and they’ve fostered a culture where nothing is reported and they can avoid a scandal. You reap what you sow.

What do female pigs have to do with reaping? Do you Boar what you SEW?
I have questions!
you reap (as in harvest) what you sow (as in seeds planted in the ground). you don't reap things that you stitch up (sew).
I went back and forth between sow and sew as I was typing, glad the Michigan difference seemed to pay off for me...
Cracks me up when someone corrects someone in a less than polite way only to be wrong themselves.
Likely an OSU troll.
I figure MSU troll. They're the former ag college, so makes sense they're thinking about pigs, not common english phrases.
Lol. GTFO. I've been here for 9 years. Look through my posting history.
I admit I fucked up on the grammar/spelling (and was a dick), but seriously man. . . calling me a troll?
I viewed your erroneous retort as snarkish more than dickish. Maybe they're the same thing. However, I do not understand the internet's obsession with calling people trolls as if it's the ultimate put-down. Do the breathless troll-cryers really think trolls give one shit about being called out?
Lol. Yep, I'll own this one.
Gimme mah negs!
Can we please leave the B1G? And the NCAA?
Just enough already. Let's get out and start our own college athletics association, one that pays the players. Let's be the leaders and best.
Let’s march straight into certain death!!!!
Funny, I was over at 11W for a reaction and it's not even mentioned. Oversight, I'm sure.
Oversight, or lack thereof.
FTFY
Here you go:
Are we the only team that hasn't had a sexual predator doctor on board, or haven't we been found out yet? It seems to be everywhere.
it's certainly possible that nasser perped while he was here.
apparently it needs to be pointed out that there's a huge difference between having a bad actor on campus and enabling their acts and covering them up on an institutional level.
obviously.
It's deja vu all over again.
Jim Jordan's attitude about this is ... special.
Jim Jordan is special.
Not the kind of special a mother describes their child as.
Special as in he needs to reside in Bolivia. A country for special individuals.
fuck jim jordan
I'm not a fan of Jordan's --- but any claims that he was an enabler are rather hard to prove. It's someone's word at a 25-30 year distance.
It's not impossible he's a victim of Strauss himself too.
I could respect Jordan if he said, look, we knew it was happening and we couldn't do anything about it for whatever reason (administration didn't take it seriously, fear for his job, etc.). Which in my opinion is almost certainly what happened.
Instead he's doubling down and denying everything.
In other news - the sky is blue, water is wet, and i'm not shocked by this at all.
Can we at least leave the B1G east? I can't believe this kind of sexual assault scandal happened at PSU, MSU, and OSU. WTF are people doing?
Maybe this is why Delany asked Rutgers and Maryland to join the B1G -- to balance out the stench from the other half of the B1G East?
How does on-field stench balance out off-field stench? Asking for a friend.
Maryland? You mean the school that let a football kid die on the practice field because of lazy medical and conditioning staff?
UMD killed a female freshman student too. That's not been as well publicized but it happened in the fall of 2018. School had knowledge that could have saved her life. WashPo published the story yesterday. Many more students were ill (from recurring mold infestations in the dorms) and some developed complications including adenovirus. The student could have been treated earlier and more effectively if Maryland had shared what they knew. Her parents sent her to school in the fall and then buried her a few months later. I was inclined to give Loh the benefit of the doubt after the McNair tragedy, now re-thinking that position. Not liking his response to her parents or the way the mold contamination was handled.
