Guys... can I just say holy sh!t.
I loosely followed this story and had no idea how complicit Mich St was in the abuse that these girls were subjected to. They are basically the equivalent of Penn St except for girls gymnastics, in my opinion. As early as 1997 an accusation was made and then ignored. Later accusations were covered up, and then later staff at MSU lied to authorities about their knowledge.
I mean, after the months and months and months of coverage on Sandusky and PSU, I feel like this was just a blip in the national media comparatively. "This dude did this thing and now hes in trouble. Next up, Lebron James to Los Angeles?" Maybe it got lost in the cacophony of #metoo and whatnot, but I'm just feeling like MSU came out of this squeaky clean and got to throw a couple of bad actors and USAG under the bus.
Was I just living under a rock?
