NCAA will not do anything to a brand like MSU. They wouldn't even touch a newcomer in Baylor. Too much money in the power conferences and they will not challenge that. They'd nuke Western Michigan if they had the chance, though.
Can't wait for him to hand down penalties to Louisville for stripper parties.
Maybe this will be the thing that ends the NCAA? If they won't act on something like this, what is the point of them at all?

This is seriously upsetting.
As a Penn State alumni, I still feel ashamed of the actions of the leaders of the university for the actions (and inactions) that lead to assaults and rapes occurring to protect people just because they were involved in a supporting role for the school sports team.
Sports isn't worth all of the shit baggage that comes with it if officials will constantly cover things up and sweep crimes under the rug for the sake of money.

Yep. Because as soon as they do, the power conferences will bolt on them and the NCAA will be essentially powerless.
Kid straight up confessed to rape and didn't even get a suspension? No "time to spend with his family" excuse? Jesus.
Keeping college kids broke isn't going to buy you as much leeway as being a moral authority
I've always held this idea that if recruiting violations, payouts, backroom sneaker deals, etc., and most unfortunately, sexual assault, are happening at one major institution then it must be happening everywhere. I don't know if that's truly the case, but if making an example of Michigan State helps curb the sexual assault that seems to be rampant in every aspect of our world, then I'm for it. This cannot go unpunished.
And the NCAA is clearly not without fault, either.

Now that this is out, he probably will actually support handing out a real punishment to MSU in order to avoid himself getting trampled in this continuous, and decades long disaster they call the NCAA.
There's no longer any reason to try and play it safe anymore, and the only way to save face, and stay president is really to make a statement (whether he believes it or not) to the public that it's time for change.
It's really the only plausible way I can see for Emmert to stay in that position, and for someone like Emmert, he's going to do everything he can to keep that title.

If he knew than plenty of other NCAA executives knew too. He didn't keep the shit to himself.
Burn this shit down.
Burn this shit down.
I mean, come on. In the other thread people are like, "The executive level of these orgs probably didn't know". Nah buddy. You've got hundreds of victims: there were sure to be some complaints that bubble up to their level.
Thing is that when it reaches their desk about some athlete they didn't recognize its just an easy *click and delete* while they fool themselves into thinking the accusations are false and its a problem for whatever other orgs are involved.
They all need to go go go. Its astonishing to me these companies making billions off youth as their 'product' dropped a ball on such basic shit like, "Hey, maybe we should have controls in place to make sure the kids arent getting raped", lol. Its not a mistake you can explain away and who knows what other less traumatizing but still fucked up shit they dropped the ball on but hasnt been exposed yet. Fuck em all.

I remember how sad I was after sandy hook but thinking, this will help change the way we look at gun control.... although totally different situations, I still have a feeling that this will not bring about the change that needs to follow.
The fact that Tom Izzo can coach another practice is disgraceful

This is less about fandom and more about the instituions being solely driven by money.
Lol.
I am surprised about how many people just sat back and did nothing though.
Man, at this point, just ban university athletic departments from making telly deals and be done with it.
NCAA would rather come down hard on players *GASP* getting paid like they should and buying their mum's homes than actually doing something about sexual assault.

TBF those television deals help fund the nonrev sports. Swimming isn't sustainable without other sources of income.
NCAA should be burned down regardless.
Penn State allowed a known child rapist to continue to run a non-profit organization serving poor and orphaned children.
They allowed a serial child rapist to have a key to the entire campus, hold an office, and bring children on road trips to Penn State games.
Penn State was punished and then their penalties were slowly rescinded due to pressures by the state government.
The first step to fixing this problem is to hold politicians accountable for shielding these institutions from inquiry.
Sports are protected in a similar manner to religion. They are institutions in almost every community in the Untied States.
Football players get the benefit of the doubt or free passes from law enforcement with probably every school program and even the professional leagues.
NFL teams hire their own security teams to vet players. They also have connections with local governments and the police force. The DA gets passes to stand on the sidelines at Eagles games. I'm sure he's prosecuting NFL players to the fullest extent of the law.
When things rise to sexual crimes. Systemic cover-ups of sexual offenses it is beyond ripping up a traffic ticket or a player getting caught with weed. It's criminally corrupt.
The Death Penalty is the least that should happen to MSU. People should go to prison.
While I agree, there are surely many more schools doing exactly this.
When you delude yourself into thinking you're running an amateur sporting organization and not a billion dollar cartel on the back of unpaid labor, you probably make a lot of terrible rationalizations.
We're only learning of how Emmert ignored all this because Nassar went to jail. Routinely ignoring sexual assault claims seems to be standard procedure at MSU and it probably is pretty much everywhere else. MSU is just taking heat because they had the crown prince of child molestation working for them AND he finally got caught. The monsters are probably everywhere.
I'd hope that even though Penn State didn't happen all that long ago, attitudes have changed drastically since then. MSU needs the death penalty and Emmert needs to resign.
