SIAP: Izzo Responds to Questions after Maryland Game

Izzo will finish out the season and Dantonio has coached his last game at State!

This has been going on and many of us saw the sweeping under the rug of many of Dantonios and Izzos players transgressions..37 incidents wre reported to Mark Emmert the NCAA President and not one damm thing was done. The culture at MSU was to PROTECT the precious athletes at all costs and Dantonio and IZZO were in on it. That the NCAA KNEW and Emmert did nothing makes Him just as culpable.

I dont see how any of three survive

He also said he cooperated with every investigation & will cooperate with every investigation not all of this was even investigated because some of it was hidden by him and his AD

the display of absurdness by Spartan fans in the Twitter comments. complete idiots.

I think Izzo has been coached by the attorneys for the university to respond in this way. You don’t want to make careless admissions that can be used against you later, hence the vanilla response about always cooperating. And maybe he personally did, while at the same time sluffing off responsibility for the decisions to the AD or prosecutor or whomever. He did effect a weary look, but that could be genuine dismay and regret over the situation, or again simply something he was coached to do. Sooner or later his role will be known, and then we will see where this goes.

just a brutal 3 mins there on the video.

A part of you feels sorry for him and then you remember what he allegedly did. If true there will be no hugs or sorrow

This is going to get worse for MSU before it gets better

Popped into RCMB to get a pulse on how they were going to spin this disaster.  There is very real concern over there after this presser.  

My take:  His absolute non-answer to a very simple "any regrets?" question spoke volumes.  Clearly he does have regrets...Shit I thought he was going to start crying as he looked down before answering with his "we cooperated"  BS.  Now the question is: are his regrets because these past events are going to be his undoing, or are they because he knows his program has left a wake of victims behind it?  

 

Uses it as disrespekt

and, have they completely Sparted themselves and not hired anyone to, you know, do some crisis management.  'Cause Rule #1 bout being in deep shit is you don't take unscheduled, unprepared for questoins about being in deep shit.  

Izzo seemed almost completely unprepared. How does that happen? The answers to the Walton questions were really bad. I understand that saying, "I'm only taking questions about the game" would come off as somewhat callous, but it would have been a lot better than the answers he gave.

Some of the MSU brahs are claiming that we want Izzo out simply because he dominates us.

The thing is, Izzo hasn't dominated us in recent years.  The past 8 seasons we have a winning record versus Izzo - look it up.

Perhaps, we just want to end rape culture and that means looking into the evidence that ESPN has presented.

They need to start sticking mics in Dantonio's face. I want to see him flip out.

Guy is rattled

Getting a free pass? He’s had guys in jail play the next day, 17 cases since he’s been there, and to the casual observer, a culture on edge when they play.

I vividly remember every detail.Most appalling to me is Izzo's new found desire to 'help the survivors' and 'be part of the healing' he is wrapping them around himself like a politicians wraps the flag around them.Are there any adults at MSU?

Other way? For example a frustrated victim and or family member trying to get someone to care or do something about it and e-mailing the Big Ten about lack of action.

focus on the Walton story in her first chance? Why not Payne/Appling? Why ask if he has regrets about how incidents were handled in the past? My theory: Smoking gun. Hollis abruptly resigned on Friday and she is setting the hook on Walton because ESPN has a smoking gun that the supposed assault incidents with Walton & 2 players on these 2 students were never properly reported by Izzo and Hollis. They kept it within the AD and now ESPN has evidence (the article cites Hollis as knowingly involved) to corroborate the issue was swept away. Clery, Title IX, legal implications in one big provable incident. All right of the FOIAs were very pointed about time frames and ESPN must have found some discrepancies.
