I won't hang up and listen, if you truly believe your "fans don't support and condone the crap that was going on" then why are you dropping c-bombs and then calling a person who you have never met a "whore".
whether they are "in the know" or "told a superior" actually no longer matters. it is clear that there is a cultural problem just by the sheer number of incidents, period full stop. That cultural problem starts at the top. So even if they didn't know, they preside over an organization that fosters this behaviour.
I'm not sure if you just don't understand this, or if you're being intentionally obtuse, or what... the law firm that MSU hired to "investigate" Izzo and Dantonio was hired to form the basis of their defense, not to go out of their way to find wrong doing.
Don't be so sure about that, guy. I'd bet the farm that at least one of the two isn't there next season.
The real question is: "Does your program deserve to be trashed?" They've refused to take responsibility with the exception of bare minimum after the fact reactions only to save face. So I will continue to trash your program until they prove they aren't an ethical dumpster fire.

sjon has been fine. his grant perry comment, while wrong, is hardly flaming or trolling. and you know what, he might not know the details of a g. perry incident like we do, and he might actually learn that there is nowhere near the moral equivalence issue in those 2 scenarios. maybe, just maybe, he might be persuaded to come around on that issue, and others.
I feel like you've missed some of his blow ups. They have been RCMB quality.

i withdraw my support.
and should never be used. for instance the words you used in this post i'm replying to are fine and appropriate. i may disagree with that assessment, but i take no exception to how you expressed it. also, to get so worked up about the technicalities of her report that you use such extreme and foul language, but to so easily walk past the huge, huge, huge issues at your school is contradictory, to say the least.
disappointed. thought you had completely gotten on board as a rival fan with valued input, able to not even take the bait for the occasional (and inevitiable) undeserved shot, but not so.
that said, i'm just one lone poster so who cares.
You really need to rethink your position about Izzo and Dantonio, and their respective lack of doing a damn thing about the rape culture in EL. Otherwise you will continue to be called out on this site. It is what it is.

I expect that this will be offset by announcement of a new investigation into Beilein's stretchnig practices, but for now, nice work guys.
And he's complaining about it?! Imagine that, being punished for your conduct. Like, I don't know, you do something wrong and maybe someone blows the whistle... Referees are not above the law.
he sucks at his job. Tournament selection should be for the best refs, not the worst. Entirely apart from his showboating, he just is not very good at his job. If Jack Welch were around, he would easily be in the 10% being moved on.
Looks like the WVU mountaineer dressed in a Santa suit.

Good. He's objectively terrible at his job at this point (maybe he was better earlier, I honestly don't remember), but there is no reason he should be calling important games anymore. It's bad enough they let him stumble through Big 10 games.

Actually, it might be amusing if he had to call pickup games while being completely ignored.
This really made my day. TV Ted, watching the tournament on TV.
About how disgraceful and unfair it is he's being punished for acting like a complete dipshit. HEY I SAID I WAS SORRY (after literally everyone who saw the video told him he had acted disgracefully, and not a moment sooner) WHY DO I HAVE TO FACE ACTUAL CONSEQUENCES FOR MY ACTIONS?
I love when he first got his mini-suspension from the Big 10 and he threatened to retire and everyone shouted GOOD, GO FOR IT. What a putz.
Good news for fans of correct officiating everywhere, and for critics of unjustifiablly loud hornblowers of one's own self.
