From a public relations standpoint, our scandal is on a different level than the MSU scandal because the most well known face of the institution, Joe Paterno, was directly involved in the facts constituting the scandal and the indictment of Jerry Sandusky, who was famous in his own right. Further, football, rather than gymnastics, was the sport involved. Nobody every heard of the players involved in the MSU scandal prior to the scandal and, in general, the general public tends to care more about football than gymnastics.
From a public relations standpoint, PSU's scandal was a much larger problem than MSU's scandal due to the people involved and the attention that the scandal would attract. So you are not comparing apples to apples when you stated in your earlier post that MSU is doing a much better job in the aftermath of the scandal. MSU may not have taken as large of a public relations hit as PSU did, but that is more the result of the nature of the scandal than it is the job that MSU is doing in handling the aftermath.
