I pointed this out long ago. This was a sports issue if you chose to only look at athletics. But if you looked at any singular department at MSU you would find the same problems, because it was a massive University wide issue. 60 Minutes reported on it like three years ago, but nobody outside of MSU cared until you attached sports rivalries to it. But it's a major problem. It is mildly humorous that ESPN is reporting it, but I'm surprised it didn't get wider coverage. Again, because sadly nobody cares about this sort of thing if it doesn't impact their sports team, or girls on a stand are giving salacious details. Engler was the right guy to deal with the political fallout, but was an absolute PR disaster. I'm guessing the final hire will probably be the exact opposite of that, and I'm not sure what that means for the future of the university.
