Back when the Sandusky crap hit, I said if he had been a volleyball coach no one would have cared. This kind of proves that.

If he was a volleyball coach, the BOT wouldn't have screwed everything up, he probably would have gotten a fair trial, and I wouldn't be surprised if he was found not guilty.
Just like Paterno has been cleared too... too bad we have been taught to stick to the original story and ignore new information.

what MSU proves (as does Weinstein, hoffman, cosby, Spacy, Dunham, and on and on and on) is that sexual predators operate in darkness. As such, a whisper or a hysterical witness is not enough to convict.
Joe, at the very least, reported what he was told by an employee about a retired employee. It was reported to the perp's governing body (TSM).
Now, suddenly, being fooled by a sexual predator is "the new black".
Joe was never charged with a crime and was applauded by the PA OAG, but the false narrative against him likely played a part in his death two months after the story broke.
And don't forget, MSU's president said Penn State should be kicked out of the Big 10. At the very least, he should have voluntarily taken MSU out of the conference. Those athletes who wanted to remain in the BIG 10 should be free to transfer to any other school without penalty.
to be clear Chi she wasn't "Cleared" from what I read - she plead no contest and got probation
That's just a little different from "cleared".
Excerpt from the article below:
For this and this alone, Lu Anna Simon should resign from her position effective immediately. She should also conduct a press conference to apologize to the students and alumni of Penn State University. Mark Emmert shall be obligated to stand with her and publicly admit his guilt. The NCAA and MSU shall also be responsible for paying PSU $60M.
In a press conference after the guilty plea, several victims and attorneys representing more than 100 of Nassar's victims focused their criticisms on three institutions: USA Gymnastics, the US Olympic Committee and Michigan State University.
Manley said those three groups had "miserably failed" to protect children under their care.
"Make no mistake: This is an American tragedy," said attorney John Manley.
He particularly slammed Michigan State University and its administration, which was told repeatedly about Nassar's abuse and protected him, Manley said. He likened their approach to that of the Catholic Church during the abuse scandals, and he called for them to release an internal report investigating the allegations against Nassar.
"These girls deserve justice, and they deserve to know who knew what (and) when," Manley said.
Dr. Larry Nassar pleads guilty to sexual assault charges, apologizes in court

Both state Attorney General Bill Schuette and MSU President Lou Anna Simon have rebuffed the idea of an independent investigation.
"For decades, MSU athletic trainers, supervisors, head coaches and even psychologists received first-hand testimony of the sexual abuse perpetrated by Larry," Denhollander said during a news conference following Nassar's plea hearing. "Each and every time, MSU officials silenced these victims.
"Larry continued to have access to little girls for decades, and MSU officials continued to hold him up as the best of the best. To use him as a marketing tool for bringing talented athletes into their program, and paying medical patients into the school. And this continued until the day I came forward."

John Manly, a California attorney, represents many of those women and girls. During the news conference Wednesday he said MSU President Lou Anna Simon should either release findings from the university's internal investigations or resign.
“These young women and these young girls deserve justice, and they deserve to know who knew what, when," Manly said. "And the truth is, Michigan State is hiding that information. And when institutions hide information there's a reason. Lou Anna Simon was the president of the NCAA when Penn State happened, and praised Penn State's decision to hire Louis Freeh and do an independent investigation. The only investigation of Michigan State in this case that's occurred, is by their own attorneys. In my experience, your own attorneys rarely find you guilty.”
Larissa Boyce is one of the women who say they told Klages in 1997.
"I think that that’s a cop out,” she said of a statement MSU released following the plea hearing. "Multiple people at MSU were told about it or knew about. … It wasn’t just him. MSU is trying to push the blame just on him."
Boyce added that she wants the university to own up and say they were at fault, and to release documents related to the internal investigations related to Nassar.
"It makes me think that they’re hiding something and they know that people knew about it and did nothing," she said.
With the exception of Nassar, who was fired for not following the protocols put in place after the 2014 investigation, Klages and Lemmen are the only two university employees MSU initiated any administrative actions against related to Nassar.
"Clearly, Michigan State has a culture of secrecy," Manly, the attorney suing MSU, said during the Wednesday press conference. "And they don't get it. If you want to stop this, come clean. Fix what happened, get rid of those that did it and move forward."

Maybe it’s just me Lou Anna, but this seems to take that phrase pretty pervasive to several new levels

I thought she looked like someone else but couldn't quite put my finger on it. You nailed it for me. Thanks!!
What happened at Michigan State is worse than what happened at Penn State. At PSU, you have an assistant coach who reported a watered down version of what he saw to the head football coach who reported what he was told to two administrators.
At MSU, you have multiple victims who told multiple administrators about the abuse they suffered and they were ignored.
No where in the PSU incident did anyone employed by PSU hear from a victim of Sandusky's abuse.
