Quote:At least 177 men were sexually abused by an Ohio State team doctor who died years ago, the university said Friday as it released findings from a law firm that investigated the accusations and concluded that school leaders knew at the time.

The claims about Richard Strauss span from 1979-1997 -- nearly his entire time at Ohio State -- and involve athletes from at least 16 sports, plus his work at the student health center and his off-campus clinic.

Of the 177 men, 145 were identified as athletes from a list of sports that includes wrestling, gymnastics, swimming and diving, soccer, lacrosse, hockey, track and field, baseball, cross country, fencing, volleyball, tennis, football, cheerleading and golf.

According to the report, more than half of the abuse reports came from athletes assigned to the practice facility where Strauss worked as a team physician.

Many of the men who have spoken publicly said they were groped and inappropriately touched during physical exams and ogled in locker rooms. The athletes also discussed Strauss' behavior with one another, referring to him with nicknames like "Dr. Jelly Paws."

...

One student, a 14-year-old high school wrestler at the time of Strauss' abuse, told investigators Strauss molested him and other minors during the course of the doctor's work with high schools and an Ohio State wrestling camp. No other such accounts were included in unredacted portions of the report.

Will the NCAA hold a self-righteous execution like they did of Penn State?

Will Ohio State get any penalties, or will the Ohio Bobcats be handed the death penalty instead?

At what point does elimination of the NCAA achieve not only financial autonomy but a higher ethical standard?

Between Penn State, Michigan State, and now Ohio State, the B1G is easily the most sordid conference of this millennium.

If you think Penn State was treated unfairly you have some things to work through with yourself. If anything they got off easy.

Oh they deserve far worse and still do. But I prefer for people who are pretending to be the hammer of justice to not be utterly corrupt and irredeemable turds themselves. Phrased differently: Make the NCAA the NAIA.

Very disturbing! Sad that the coward took his own life years ago. Would love for him to have to be abused daily while serving time along with anybody else involved.

Another distinction for tO$U. I suppose Bucknuts will now feel even more compelled to look down their noses at UC. "We can claim a record-breaking sex-offender violating our student-athletes, and you can't."

And one of the people that covered it up sits in Congress.

I think we're going see that this took place just about everywhere; I don't think the lid has come completely off yet.

2 weeks ago an AAU basketball coach from Monticello, Iowa got sentenced to 180 years in prison for exploiting at least 440 youth.
Coaches have great power imbalance over the athletes. Some coaches use that to gratify their desires.

Penn State had the institutional coverup aspect to it.

Where is the coverup?

Oh wait I guess the school leaders did know....

It amazes though how many alums are still proud of them.

Do they realize what they are supporting?

IMO, this is worse than Penn State. Up there with Michigan State, but, again, at least both of those were caught somewhere in the act. Ohio State buried this one. Smarter of them, but also more heinous and craven. Letting it go on for years, doing little to nothing, then sitting on it.

I do think this and Michigan State’s treatment by the Big Ten will not go unnoticed by BoT members at Penn State, and maybe state legislators. At some point this belief in a bias against the school by the conference some/many have starts looking more logical.

Penn St. was more of a deliberate ostrich. They had an allegation involving an unknown boy along with an earlier accusation, strongly suspected Sandusky and then just pretended their suspicion never existed.

Ohio St. apparently knew about this.

They are all equally bad to me. The gap from the crime until now is just crazy and concerning from the Ohio State case.

I know the good outweighs the bad at these schools, but, you cant use that excuse and rightfully so. These things are horrible and it sucks for the people doing good at these schools. They now are associated with this just for being a part of the school.

I really feel for the victims of these crimes. Like I said before, this animal got off easy by taking his own life. He would have been torn to shreds while doing time, that's what he deserved. To those who knew this was going on and did nothing, I hope you rot in prison.

Those were the days, though...when your football coach could double as an athletic director and/or faculty member, and then be expected to also do the administrative work. Or, “try” to.

“Hey, you run a sport...run all the sports.” But we’re supposed to believe that a place with so many smart people know how to run an organization.

Oh, I don't know, maybe 30 or 40 years ago!

Big Life. Big Stage. Big Scandals. Big Ten.

And these are only the schools that were caught.

I wonder if Republican Jim Jordan would get arrested and sent to prison like the leaders at Penn. State got for covering up the crime and not notifying the law? I think he should be removed from office.

Oh for crying out loud! The schools run the NCAA, if they disbanded the NCAA and set up a new governing body the same damn folks who make up the rules now would be making up the rules then. The power schools have all the say now and would have all the say in any new organization. People need to stop thinking it's some independent organization holding these schools and athletes down. Everything the NCAA does is at the approval of the P5. EVERYTHING!

And now this dummy is out there saying this exonerates him! I guess thats the thing now, take a report that doesn't exonerate you, realize most of your voters aren't going to read it and just declare it says you're innocent, you didn't do anything wrong and that your schlong is 18 inches long!
