There are no winners here. Glass house syndrome should be broken but it is clearly not.
I’ve seen these in schools, charities, and businesses . It seems the worst when schools are involved due to fans. It’s strange, almost all those associated with school have no part in things.
I am for more noise, more media pressure, and holding anyone who helped cover up crimes accountable legally. In my view, that is the only chance of preventing future victims.
It all needs to be exposed sadly. Victims need to stop being crucified.....don't tell me. I just fine, it's odd that you have a handful of schools of what should be intelligent people saying "look at how bad they are" that completely miss the point due to their own little personal insecurities over a place they went to school. They're are no winners in any of this....everyone lost everywhere. I get why PSU alums get upset but my god....see the bigger picture. There are no victory laps, yet you see people pointing fingers or doing some hollow victory lap. Sorry....it's odd to me. You see people of all schools saying well....we didn't do XXXXX. The doctors, coaches, and sick MF's did this. Not any school, alumni, or anyone else.
I asked a former PSU football player if they were subjected to rectal exams. He said nope.
So, yeah, all Michigan football players were given rectal exams. Wonder how many fingers Desmond Howard asked for.
Claims of UM doctor's sexual misconduct mirror Ohio State case
Kantele Franko and Larry Lage, Associated Press
Ann Arbor — When the University of Michigan announced last week that allegations of decades-old sexual misconduct by a sports doctor were under investigation, former wrestler Mike DiSabato was stunned by the parallels to an abuse scandal at his alma mater, Ohio State.
The accusations by several people against Dr. Robert E. Anderson at Michigan immediately called to mind claims DiSabato and hundreds of other men made about Dr. Richard Strauss at Ohio State. The two cases had striking similarities. Two physicians, both dead for years, are now accused of using their positions to abuse male athletes and students.
Former patients said they made coaches or other officials aware of concerns decades ago and got nowhere. Investigators said both men came under scrutiny by state regulators in the mid-1990s, but the cases were closed.
Rachael Denhollander, the first woman to publicly accuse Nassar of sexual abuse, told the AP that University of Michigan leaders should not follow Michigan State’s lead and should commit to a “truly independent review,” the findings of which would be made public. She said she’s dismayed, though, by how Michigan officials have handled things so far.
“The scary thing and the horrifying thing about these situations is that it’s always the same set of circumstances. It’s always people in authority who care more about reputation, who care more about some outside set of goals than they care about people, covering up reports of abuse,” Denhollander said.
Michigan State’s mishandling of the Nassar complaints led to a $4.5 million federal fine in September and a statement by Education Secretary Betsy DeVos that such behavior “must not happen again, there or anywhere else.”
DeVos’ department also is investigating whether Ohio State handled reports about Strauss appropriately. The agency would not confirm Friday whether it has any investigation related to Michigan and Anderson.
