I think I have been an unbiased third party with a pretty good reputation on this forum for some time now and a very good perspective of the similarities and differences in both cases. You didn't like it when people used these errant types of media articles to bash at PSU , so no one should be using them to do the same to MSU.
Assuming you read the article, an interim MSU President is not being a Barron, who was stifled by your OGBOT who had their own motives for creating scapegoats from day 1.and is speaking out about the tactics of John C Manly and Rachael Denhollander, who, by the way, never made any report to anyone at MSU or attempted any police report until 2016 when she read about the Child porn charges in the newspaper. She then issued a bizarre "open letter" to Lou Anna K Simon for not knowing anything at all about her NON-EXISTENT report of abuse by Nassar. No one has forced any resignations of anyone "connected to the scandal" at Michigan Health and Human Services, the Michigan Medical Board, and several police departments who did indeed receive reports about Nassar and failed to identify him as an offender and put him in the system so he wouldn't be hired by MSU, or USAG, or made referrals by Twistars gym, or made the Olympic doctor. LAK Simon only was "forced to resign" because two BOT members, way after the fact, Joel Ferguson made dumb comments in the newspapers when asked about NCAA by some Detroit "sports guys" , and then Mitch Lyons who was under indictment for assault and battery of a referee at his daughter's basketball game so was trying to distract from his situation. This is the only reason LAK Simon "resigned". Those two men were in self-preservation mode. The good news is, Meridian Township Police Department is doing the right thing about their error. They invited survivor Brianne to join them and help them do better on their SA report intake and processing than they did on hers. They also took the offer from Jim Clemente and Francey Hakes for advice on Red Flag training, facilitated by yours truly and David Harns, a really conscientious MSU sports journalist who is trying his darndest to remain unbiased on all fronts and only report what is accurate, also pointing out what is inaccurate, such as the nasty ESPN behavior. Yes, there were "settlements", but just like PSU , those were basically forced by shysters like Shubin who had his clients change their stories to fit PSU's criteria, and Manly , who has had these women on parade in the media from Day 1, shouting "MSU coverup" , and in my estimation, reabusing all of them to line his pockets. He will then go again to another place (he's from California) and do it again and again wherever he can get away with it, never even attempting to help fix the problem that cause the Nassars of the world to go undetected. Those MSU settlements no doubt contain the same language of non-guilt that PSU had in their own.
Penn State has not been the better for it on the field of play. That's not why Penn State joined anyway, though, and we all know why. $
MSU just fired Engler as interim president.
Yes I missed one. I "knew"(knew of) Judge Dickson, and his son. I have family ties to Sandy Stephens. Keep in mind, they were Gopher greats before I was born.
yep, apologies...the note was attached to a tweet saying that Engler was being fired. this is not (yet) the case. Just someone on the MSU board saying that they were in favor of Engler being let go.
Wasn't Tom Ridge floated at an .........interim President at PSU. Yeah, bring in an ex-politician to be a ..........fixer since they know all the dirty tricks to diffuse any situation. I guess the only thing worse would be to bring in a Geography Professor to negotiate sexual abuse settlements and ask for reimbursement from PMA later.MSU just fired Engler as interim president. Edit, not fired. The statement below was from a board member suggesting he be fired, but not actually being fired by the board (yet).
Thank you, Tom. Most of the other trustees and several others affiliated with MSU are telling Mosallam he's grandstanding and headline seeking and needs to stand down. Nothing like Jack Stripling the TMZ artist for the Chronicle of Lower ED whipping up a frenzied mob again like he did about Albert Lord just because Jack is either an idiot and can't read or interpret documents, or likes to cause problems for his own clicks and personal attention. Did you people or did you not express dissatisfaction with his antics regarding the Spanier trial? This gleeful vengeful attytood is not very becoming of some of y'all. Do you want the problems in Michigan fixed at the state and local agency level so no more kids/youth/women are harmed, or are you just hypocrites? I guess that's something you each have to decide for yourselves.
