Fake stat.

That’s a broad sweeping generalization against a fan base. I’m a Michigan fan, and I want done what is right. Most alumni from Michigan I have talked to have stated the same, that goes for Spartans I know too. ESPN has its flaws, but it also looks very bad to take the news source and immediately scream fake news.
I’m not calling for resignations or terminations yet, but the onion should be peeled back on this. If, and it’s a big if, the Travis Walton stuff is true, this looks very bad for Izzo. It also looks pretty terrible that the prosecuting attorney that chose not to pursue charges against Appling and Payne was hired a short while later by MSU as a Title IX employee. And as a coach you take responsibility for bringing someone like Auston Robertson to campus, given his history. When he committed a disgusting act I didn’t see anyone stepping out to apologize or take accountability.
I say this not as a fan, but as a father. I was disgusted with details on Brendan Gibbons for “my” school. More recently I was dismayed with how MN has handled Reggie Lynch as well, as a passive hometown fan. Stand up and take accountability as an adult and a coach and a father. I’m troubled that in many cases this hasn’t happened, including possibly with Dantonio and Izzo. It shouldn’t be too much to ask of program leaders making millions a year. It’s sad. It’s not being out for blood with a frivolous sports rivalry. A low rent reaction from a handful of basement message board and tweeter types may be disgusting, but Nassar and adults not taking accountability is afar more disgusting.

Fair enough.  We will wait to see what other information will come out.  But sometimes once the dominos start to fall, its hard to know where it all stops.

What comes to my mind during these horrible stories is the CERTAINTY that there are dozens (if not hundreds) of other Nassars out there.  Smaller profile, smaller school monsters doing this, getting away with it, and never coming to justice.

Let us not forget that without a couple courageous survivors and a couple “hack” journalists from the Indy star Larry Nassar is still out in the free world doing his thing.
https://t.co/9jPjNj1Wyu. How many times did the victims speak to someone about Nassar before two journalists said to themselves this doesn’t feel right.
Travis Walton should have been suspended. Auston Robertson should not have been recruited or admitted. Brendan Gibbons and Taylor Lewan (supressing Gibbons accuser) should have been suspended. Reggie Lynch should have been suspended and also never admitted. Tom Izzo, Mark Dantonio, Dave Brandon, Richard Pitino, and Mark Coyle failed us and our daughters. The buck could have stopped with them. They are powerful and make millions. They chose not to be accountable or act.

FTR, I was HIGHLY critical on CFN at the time that Dantonio should have booted Winston and Rucker immediately.  I thought Winston's crime was too serious to get a second chance, and Rucker didn't deserve a third chance.

And I agree not recruited Robertson.  But he literally did the exact same thing that Grant Perry did, and Perry pled guilty to a felony.  Let's be careful about glass houses there.  If that one is on Dantonio, and I agree it is, Perry playing this year is equally on Harbaugh.

The whole thing stinks, and it's why big time athletics needs to be taken out of universities.

MSU has a major culture problem.  Is it just as bad anywhere else you dug?  I don't personally care, MSU is bad and that's enough.  People don't care, they care about sports.  Fire Izzo, fire Dantonio, everyone is happy.  Then MSU can just keep on like the fixed the problem?  Sorry, no.  The private investigation said MSU had a major university wide problem.  The DOE has them on heightened monitoring due to campus wide issues.  That's what bothers me.  That I don't want to wear my MSU pullover to run errands.  That I don't know what the client who walks into my office thinks when they see my MSU diploma.  You want blood, you want to fire the coaches, go for it.  If they are a symptom of the problem, that solves nothing.  MSU has to fix the problem, starting at the top down, and fortunately, that's where they've started.

The same ESPN journalist who released this, had an article two years ago saying the results of her investigation into MSU was that football players were not prosecuted at a lower level than regular students.  Every piece of evidence suggests it's not a sports problem, it's an MSU problem.  Is it a nation wide problem?  Probably.  Don't care.  It's an MSU problem.  If the optics of firing coaches appeases some, and the optics look good, go for it.  But if you'd rather fix the image, than fix the problem, no thanks.  Fix the goddamned problem.
