This stinks. MSU avoided firing her. She gets to retire and possibly keep any kind of financial benefits or retirement package? Are both trying to protect themselves in a future lawsuit?

Also, she should have been suspended weeks ago if not longer.

...shouldn't Mark Hollis bear some responsibility? This is an epidemic in East Lansing and he is the boss.

These two huge scandals coalescing together is creating a perfect storm scenario. I think a lot of heads are going to roll, maybe including Hollis, Dantonio, and even the administration. The Nassar story alone is horrible--they are going to be paying out for this, ultimately. It's terrible. Bad for the State of Michigan.

Yeah this sure looks like the beginning of yet another coverup operation. If an institution can't take responsibility for it's wrongdoings, nothing to stop it from happening again.

No, they needed to let her twist on suspension. This looks like more hushing/sweeping on MSU's part.
At the very least, they don't seem concerned with the optics, which may indicate they don't notice the water coming up over their heads.

"The underlying accusations involving Ms. Klages have been a serious distraction to her professional responsibilities and detrimental to her overall well-being."
Aww poor baby... how does she think her athletes felt FOR DECADES.

...and both her delusional, gymnastics-loving fans?

This is a B1G rival, a sister school (i.e., in state), and a huge scandal. A coach quitting because she shushed accusations of sexual assault from students under her watch is a big deal.
Get used to it - this has the makings of a major story.

Step away from the computer/smartphone.

As big a blog as this is, you probably aren't the only one annoyed, and if it were one of the mundane innanities of Spartan life that often get reported here, I would agree with you, but I think what is getting reported here doesn't fit into the category of "mundane innanities" and is in fact newsworthy.
Now, that being said, if it gets to a point where - like Penn State - we need a daily dump thread, we can consider that, but I don't think we're there quite yet. Always willing to discuss these things, of course.

When something huge like this is breaking, you should expect to see at least 3-9 new stories every day. But you can feel free to ignore it

...if you find these threads boring and repeticious there is a simple solution. DON'T READ THEM.

The topic of the post was clearly labeled. If it bothers you, don't click to open it (and complain that you did). Such a simple thing.

to every MSU post...But then again I saw your name and thought "that figures"...

The overreaction to MSU/OSU threads ("OMG YOU POSTED ABOUT MSU, WHICH IS BAD BECAUSE SOMEONE MIGHT THINK WE HAVE A RIVALRY WITH THEM AND NOW A NEUTRAL FAN SOMEWHERE ON THE INTERNET MIGHT LAUGH AT US BECAUSE WE POSTED ABOUT ANOTHER SCHOOL AND MY CREPE-PAPER THIN SKIN CAN'T TOLERATE THAT") is far worse than the threads themselves.
This is a big, developing story. If someone is putting a gun to your head and making you click here against your will, my condolences.

She should go to jail. She actively facilitated continued abuse of her players and prospects at camps for decades. Like the Sandusky situation if we were certain of just what Paterno knew.

I thought it was a former player acccusing a coach of harassing her or being too tough on her.
