There is NO way Izzo survives this.  It's absolutely disgusting that a coach would look ther other way.  He will be GONE within a week.  Sickening.  Clean the F-ing house.

A prosecutor with season tickets who now works in MSU's Title IX office thought it wasn't a big deal that one basketball player admitted the other one kept going after she said no, which is why the victim sued the school.

The problem with the argument relying on charges not being filed is that charges typically rely on victims testifying. In high profile cases, many women choose not to testify for a variety of reasons such as: not wanting to relive it in a public setting, avoiding public ridicule (which would certainly come from pathetic fans who are upset that their superstars aren't playing basketball), or because they potentially take some sort of deal not to go through with it. The point is, it is a systematic flaw that forces victims to relive these terrible moments in order to get a charge. Just because someone wasn't charged, doesn't mean nothing happened.

Until proven otherwise, my expectation for these two men, by the current standards of NCAA operations and our culture as a whole, is that they will be employed without penalty and experience no drop in recruiting regardless of their involvement.

Hope I'm wrong.

Izzo maybe, but I don't see Dantonio getting fired or being forced to resign with the information at hand. If Izzo actually does get fired though it would be pretty tough justifying keeping Dantonio after cleaning house like that.

Do we still have to tame our reactions ? It’s garbage. At least it’s over. Hopefully these women can find a small resolve after being treated like human garbage for years.

They probably resign due to the raging fire that surrounds them much like the AD did today.  That fire is going to clear out all those in power, hopefully all the regents too.

New president, new AD coming. Their first move has to be getting rid of these two guys if they want to earn any kind of credibility at all. Holy shit this is bad.

Now we have names and the actual stories behind the legal process that followed.  I heard about Payne/Appling, but I still didn't know all the details behind it.  I had no idea about the Travis Walton situation.

I still thought Dantonio should've been fired after Auston Robertson was kicked off the team.  Dude should not have been given a scholarship, but Dantonio wanted to win at all costs and as a result a young woman was sexually assaulted.  I don't think it's a stretch to say that if Dantonio would've treated Robertson like a middling 3-star recruit, Robertson never would've been on campus to assault anyone.

Hard for me cause my wife was an athlete at msu.. and herself and a few friends of hers on another sports team were sexually assaulted by one Trenton Robinson and 5 other players on fuck face dantonios team. Stuff was reported and the cops never did anything. It is hard for my wife to go into detail without crying about it and it is horrendous. I hope dantonio goes down
