I see the MSU and PSU as 2 different cases. MSU involved student-athletes. PSU didn't.
But PSU involved coaches and the athletics director

What happened to the people who were assaulted/abused was not right. There are not words to convey what they must have went through, the emotional scars or how it may have forever changed them.
That said, hope our house is clean as everything any school has covered up over the years will come to light in the next few weeks. March madness is just around the corner & the media will have the spotlight shining bright searching for headlines.
LOL, waiting for the other shoe to drop on Iowa!So does this fall under the claim that Illinois basketball kills off anyone that beat us? Northwestern and Maryland guys got hurt. Minnesota scandal broke. Now MSU. It's not a good idea to beat Illinois basketball. Bad things will happen to you.
I find it unlikely that Izzo gets the boot, but that's just me.

does that mean nothing bad will happen to indiana? i'm not sure i like this world.
A year ago I would have agreed with you. The Nassar situation is to athletics what Weinstein was to Hollywood. Not even Izzo is too big for this
Based on the report, Dantonio seems like he’s in trouble and while players that are part of the basketball program got into trouble, Izzo isn’t directly named in any of it. Seems like the basketball stuff went to Hollis and no action was really taken (which is despicable regardless). Unless more comes out directly linking Izzo to the negligence I can’t imagine him resigning or going anywhere.
Because of the assistant coach punch allowed to stay?
That article isn't stating everything that OTL knows. I'm sure they are saving the best stuff for the TV broadcast. The sky will likely start falling in East Lansing come Monday morning. I would bet that tonight is Izzo's last game coached in East Lansing.

I know this won't be popular in today's culture but I don't think Izzo did anything wrong. The assistant was charged of hitting a girl with conflicting witness reports was subsequently fired after being accused of sexual assault and two players were not disciplined (as far as we know) after being accused of sexual assault. You can't start suspending or kicking players off the team every time an accusation is made.
The biggest problem I have is that every one of the cases made against athletes in the article resulted in no charges being filed. Why aren't the investigators or the prosecution being forced to resign? They are the ones who are supposed to be trained in these matters. If the coaches or university pressured them into covering it up but then they should be held accountable. If not, I don't think Izzo should be sacrificed as a scapegoat for public relations window dressing.
