What MSU knew: 14 were warned of Nassar abuse
Reports of sexual misconduct by Dr. Larry Nassar reached at least 14 Michigan State University representatives in the two decades before his arrest, with no fewer than eight women reporting his actions, a Detroit News investigation has found.
Among those notified was MSU President Lou Anna Simon, who was informed in 2014 that a Title IX complaint and a police report had been filed against an unnamed physician, she told The News on Wednesday.
“I was informed that a sports medicine doctor was under investigation,” said Simon, who made the brief comments after appearing in court Wednesday to observe a sentencing hearing for Nassar. “I told people to play it straight up, and I did not receive a copy of the report. That’s the truth.”
Among the others who were aware of alleged abuse were athletic trainers, assistant coaches, a university police detective and an official who is now MSU’s assistant general counsel, according to university records and accounts of victims who spoke to The News.

No, they were MSU gymnasts!!!
Apparently she finally had the stones to show up for testimony and one of their former gymnast laid into her. She should be facing charges too IMO!!! Hell they brought charges for the Sandusky scandal against the PSU president and AD so there should be no less in this case!!!
Go Blue!!
Aside from the cash, which is probably written in stone, the rest of those perks could be ostensibly nullified through peer pressure. Would you really want to show up at an event, or sit in a campus office, where people will turn their backs to you, or call you a child molester?
Taking a step back, would you really feel good about someone pulling in half a million bucks a year whose inaction probably resulted in several little girls being sexually abused? Sparty just needs to grow a conscience.
Its getting good..... Dantonio and Izzo both getting dragged in. Could we have some "legendary coaches" going down
Go Blue!!

The problems go beyond simply playing players that have been accused of violence and sexual misconduct.
The Athletic Department actively tried to suppress the information and allowed coaches, as opposed to administrators of Title IX investigators, to handle the punishments.
Go Blue!!

The civil costs could also be a nail in that coffin. In the Penn State Sandusky case, the University has paid $93MM to 33 victims. At $2.8MM per, for MSU, the 160 Nasser victims could represent $451MM. Of the $93MM PSU has paid to victims, to date insurance companies have covered $30MM of it - addiitonal claims are being considered and under review. PSU has also paid an additional $144MM in fines/costs. Add them together and it's almost a quarter billion. Holy crap!
Over on the Red Cedar board there is whole lot of deflecting going on with numerous posts about Grant Perry and Brendan Gibbons and how those cases were handled. They're so worried about the Athletic Department, they aren't seeing the forest for the trees with this one. In my opinion, the fate of Izzo and D'Antonio doesn't matter one little bit in this case.
