Mark Emmert Was Warned About Sexual Assault at MSU in 2010

Perhaps Dantonio was a bit premature with the rah-rah press conference.

I am so naive.  Amazing the amount of people who just watch this sort of thing go on without doing anything.  

The NCAA has MSU on the shit list now and will punish them only to see themselves investigated and outed for the hypocrites they are

At the rate things are blowing up the NCAA will dissolve, MSU will fold and its property will be sold to Rachel Denhollander, D-1 sports will be reorganized into independent semi-pro leagues, peace will be achieved in the middle east, and sustainable commercial nuclear fusion will be adopted by Monday afternoon.

Think I'm at a point where I need to detox from these MSU threads

This is just insane. Schools like MSU, PSU, and Baylor deserve the death penalty in the worst way. You can add the NCAA to that list too.

There is no doubt at this point.

level.

I'm not the biggest fan of Mark Emmert, but what's was he exactly supposed to do in November 2010?  His organization oversees 1000+ member schools.  That's a lot.  One smaller organization that's also closer to the situation would be the B1G conference.  So perhaps let the B1G and B1G member schools police their own.

The NCAA is generally well-meaning.  They do a good job running various National Championships - from March Madness to D-3 non-revenue sports.

But they're also a bloated bureaucracy.  I think that, rather than being fundamentally corrupt in some way, is their biggest problem. 

Emmert is Gordon Gees’s BFF and he made sure OSU received a very light punishment for all the violations that occurred during Tressell’s time.

With sexual assault allegations being rampant through Hollywood making the news..the #metoo movement..etc...the NCAA won't drop the ball because it would be a PR nightmare. The feds are moat certainly going to get involved They are going to make an example out of MSU

is the extent to which local police departments willingly cooperate with athletic departments to keep criminal acts by athletes out of the legal/judicial system. My guess is that it's the default condition on most campuses with big athletic departments.

If the ELPD had been doing its damn job over the last 20 years, there would have been some pain for MSU at the time but the institution wouldn't be in the position today of having to explain how such a volume of criminal assaults was never properly dealt with.

 

Amazing how this has gone on for so long and at such a large scale. For years the warnig signs have been there with player after player being accused of sexual assault at MSU only to be let off the hook. And then Nassar happens with over 150 women at this point and we find that in just a 2 year span 37 women were sexually assaulted by athletes at MSU. That tells me there are many, many more and this can of worms has just been opened. 

Each and every case is far too many but the overwhelmingly large number of known cases to this point already shows a culture at MSU that turns a blind eye in the search for results on the field. They have sold their soul in the desire to be a sports giant. Many schools have gone this route in turning a blind eye at things happening in their program but this has reached a new level. MSU needs to burn it all to the ground and start over with their administration and Athletic Department.

...irony or poetic justice?

The last 72 hrs have been an explosion of bad/sad news.  It is very disheartening that it takes public pressure to bring about revelation and justice.
