[QUOTE="Johnny Lawrence, post: 1370494, member: 11537"] 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. [/QUOTE]
