Michigan State President Forced Out Over Gymnastic Doctor Scandal

[Tugg Speedman]

Forced out for allowing this sexual abuser to stay in the employ of Michicagn State University for many years. 

He abused 140 girls.  The complaints were there, the warning signs were there.  MSU either did not care or intentionally looked the other way. Frankly everyone in MSU leadership and USA Gymnastics should all go.

Interesting to note the President of MSU is a woman ... Lou Anna Simon.

Michigan State president resigns over Nassar scandal

In the wake of the Larry Nassar sexual abuse scandal, Lou Anna Simon, president of Michigan State University, is resigning, according to a letter posted on the school's website.

Nassar is a former longtime school employee. He was sentenced Wednesday to up to 175 years in prison for the sexual assault of young female athletes.

"Throughout my career, I have consistently and persistently spoken and worked on behalf of Team MSU. I have tried to make it not about me," Simon wrote. "I urge those who have supported my work to understand that I cannot make it about me now. Therefore, I am tendering my resignation as president according to the terms of my employment agreement."
The chairman of the board of trustees said the group had accepted Simon's resignation, and will work out the details of her departure over the rest of the week.

It was inevitable.   Nassar's sentencing was done.  Officials with USA gymnastics have also resigned.  There will probably be more.

[Mr. Nielsen]

One of the biggest AD's at Michigan State, Mark Hollis steps down.

I'm so flippin' tired of people who make a lot of money, and who are in positions of power, to feel it is completely fine to try to claim ignorance when the organizations they lead systematically fail.  F*ck them both.  The culture they created allowed this to happen.

And f*ck Tom Izzo too with his lame a$$ comments earlier this week as well.

First, couldn't agree more.


Second....the second saddest thing in this mess(behind the evil visited on these girls) is that there is evidence that MSU/USA Gymnastics officials had received numerous complaints before and during the time of the PSU-Sandusky scandal. How do you sit back and what that $hitshow go down knowing what you do about Nassar and go....naw we good??????

IOC ordering USA gymnastics board to step down.

Wow.  This could get A LOT bigger...

Absolutely.  As long as the team is winning or the stock price is rising, nothing else seems to matter.

The culture of "anything for a win/buck" needs to change.

I mean, Mark Dantonio could be out of a job in a couple weeks.  Izzo is likely going to survive, but wow.

Wow indeed.  No way Dantonio survives this.

Amen Sultan, you are my new hero!!!

[DegenerateDish]

If I had to guess, Izzo will "retire" at the conclusion of this season.

It's a dirty little secret in higher education that some universities setup separate conduct processes for student athletes. You'll often find title ix offices are housed in athletic departments for this very purpose. I will never work for a title ix office that reports to an athletic director. I'm sure most are great people who follow the law,  but there is just too much opportunity for abuse.

Dayummmm

Izzo is done

[jesmu84]

You all are going to really believe all these "investigative journalists"? I was under the impression that media is merely fake news out to smear good people across the nation.

[Skitch]

Crean to MSU

[Jockey]

Wow indeed.  No way Dantonio survives this.

Lowlifes like Izzo, D'Antontio, and DeVos need to be shown the door. Now!

[🏀]

Izzo to retire.

Wojo reaching out to Tillman and Winston, hopefully.

[MUBBau]

Dantonio will disappear

[Galway Eagle]

Izzo to retire.

Wojo reaching out to Tillman and Winston, hopefully.

Conflicting reports on that

[GGGG]

Izzo to retire.

Wojo reaching out to Tillman and Winston, hopefully.

Probably going to help with recruits like Rocket Watts.

[mu03eng]

Dantonio and Izzo should both be fired like Paterno was if the ESPN report is true

[reinko]

Izzo to retire.

Wojo reaching out to Tillman and Winston, hopefully.

Fake WoJo (ESPN WoJo, not our WoJo) account that flew around the interwebs earlier today.

PTM eats the trash!

[DegenerateDish]

If Izzo where to leave, and I realize it all depends on new AD/Prez, but I could envision Woj as a candidate there, if these dominos fall.
