Let the Michigan State purge begin.

Down so far
MSU President - Lou Anna K Simon
MSU Athletic Director - Mark Hollis
MSU Faculty Athletic Rep - Sue Carter (whatever that does, but she is also a Journalism Professor)

this is only the beginning.

So, will criminal charges be brought against any of them? Or will they just lose their jobs?

I think criminal charges may not be far behind for some, I don't see Simon or Hollis had direct knowledge of what happened, or were blatantly ignorant and ignored the complaints, like others. They are bowing to the pressure to resign. I forgot about the women's Gymnastics coach that was suspended last year too. There is no way she returns either and I could see he facing criminal charges.

WOW, I remember rumors and shit about most of that stuff regarding the football and basketball teams at the time. Izzo and Dantonio better holding onto their jocks for this one.

Amazing that after what happened at Penn State that other schools wouldn't handle things properly. I'd even expect a little over-zealousness in handling cases.

Guess not.

Agreed, plus with the link that Ahoda posted about the other Sexual Assault claims regarding football and basketball, which will no be picked apart with a fine tooth comb.

What did Penn State get in punishment from the NCAA? 3-4 year, no bowl games, reduced scholarships?

Any reason to think Michigan State won't receive AT LEAST the same punishment? I'd think moreso tbh

The one issue I see comparing this to Penn State is that the offender there was a football coach. At MSU you are talking a doctor of many teams most of them womens teams, so I'm not sure how that translates in regards to post season bans and scholorships loses. Unless something comes of the Dantonio and Izzo turning a blind eye to the rape and sexual misconduct issues through the years. But I can for sure see MSU getting a larger fine, I think Penn States was around 60 million.

50 bucks says this guy gets a new trial, at the very least because the judge decided to grandstand the last few days of the trial.

I hope they cut his sentence in half. Then he'll only have to serve up to 147.5 years and not the current 235.

Hm, I guess it would depend on if anyone on the athletics side ignored accusations, or turned a blind eye, methinks that's the case if the AD resigned.

I hope they cut his penis in half.

175 years in prison? Yikes.

It's kinda the sentence I wish they would give Anders Behring Brevik.
