Yet another rape allegation involving MSU basketball players.
is that it's become commonplace. . .
He'll survive it. Remember when Dantonio and Izzo weren't going to last a week? They'll do everything they can to protect their two best coaches in forever if they protected people like Strampel and Nassar who are more disposable than multi-millionaire coaches.
This is the Culture of today's society ... and the general public is fucking clueless. This will not end well for people that want freedom, independence and justice ... as this is an attack on life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We're all fucked! If you stand up against the corruption ... they will destroy you with baseless attacks to make you irrelevent.
Thank God we have Harbaugh and Belien. Go Blue!
Beilein wouldn't let Spike Albrecht order a beer-battered Tiramisu on his official visit because he wasn't 21. I love the man more and more every day.
Can't Izzo just wear that ribbon a little longer and everything will be hunky-dory?
They can't keep Izzo around. I'd like to think that if we were in the same situation with Belein or Harbaugh, we'd toss them out on their asses instead of keep them for the sake of hero-worship. And for all of his faults, I don't think Schissel would ever stand for this.
A key distinction here is that Schlissel in particular, and Michigan's senior leadership generally, is not inbred like they are in East Lansing. There is no accumlated devotion to misguided hero worship because we hire nationally renonwed academic adminstrators and they find someone who's been around for 40 years drinking the kool aid. Schlissel went Princeton --> Hopkins --> Cal --> Brown. MSC was at Grinnel, UNC, Kentucky, and is now the President of the AAU itself.
Peter McPherson: MSU undergrad (and accomplished Federal appointee and private sector lawyer)
Lou Anna Simon: MSU PhD in 1974. Never left.
Engler: MSU undergrad and general good old boy politician.
The last MSU President that did not have a degree from the school left in 1992 (DiBiaggio). Michigan hasn't had a University President with a Michigan degree since at least before Robben Fleming in 1968.

“The MSUCC staff made it clear to (the victim) that if she chose to notify the police, she faced an uphill battle that would create anxiety and unwanted media attention and publicity as had happened with many other female students who were sexually assaulted by well-known athletes,”

If true, is this selection from the Detroit News not admitting that MSU has a rotten culture?
to this lawsuit was interview the counselors. That statement could mean a few different things, most of them very bad for MSU. There's also a suggestion that police and/or prosecutors are complicit.
They need the counselors to be able to convincingly deny saying it while under oath. Expect them to come out and attack the plaintiff. Even if they settle this case, there is a federal Title IX investigation to deal with.
Front page ESPN now.
the Detroit News and the Lansing State Journal websites.
Wow, MSU may have implicated itself w/ the tuition refund. I hope some of that discussion is in writing...
She had to mention the rape to multiple officials to get her tuition back....or athletic department hush money.
That should be, like, a marketing motto for MSU:
"Well howdy folks, come on down to Michigan State University, where we GUAR-AN-TEE a rape-free environment the first semester of your freshman year, or YOUR MONEY BACK!!!" **GUY IN COWBOY HAT AND BOOTS SHOOTS IMAGINARY PISTOLS IN THE AIR**
psychiatric treatment will be the only thing in writing.
....country. FIFY.
....
FIFU.
lou ann simon, any comment??? What a fine culture you built and fostered in east landfill!!!
the honorable triumvirate!!!

Which means the whitewashers in Ingham County can't do their thing on this one.
Larry Nassar was cleared by a 2014 MSU title IX investigation and their new legal lead counsel, Robert Young is the Sergent Schultz of sexual assault legal procedures.
... they still figure this will all go away. Play ball.
Over/Under on MSU Board of Trustees saying something stupid? I'll give it 24 hours.
This poor girl tried several times using several different offices at the university to get some action and help, and they just basically told her to fuck off each time. This crime was known by everyone in the athletic department and the basketball program. "Hey, honey, we're in the final four! But here's your money back. Sorry again about the multiple rapes."
Shit like this makes me wish the MacManus Brothers were real...
Education institutions and their title ix office make-work idiots are incompetent and unqualified to investigate such heinous crimes, gather evidence, interview witnesses, make arrests, file charges and prosecute crimes to the full extent of the law.
Call 911 immediately. Leave the school out of it. They are just covering their own asses.
