Heads will roll there and deservedly so. We knew of several incidents there but the sheer volume of incidents that never saw public exposure is staggering.
The OTL report was initiated 3 years ago. MSU made every attempt to prevent names and incidents from getting to ESPN, including heavily redacted (probably 80%) documents that were worthless. To the point where MSU had to be taken to the MI state Supreme Court over the info requested.
A former Ingham county prosecutor that intimidated a student raped by 2 basketball players. She did such a good job that she is currently on staff as an MSU title IX investigator.
Dantonio had made comments following last years allegations against 3 of his players that are now an outright lie. Saying that it was the first time in his tenure as HC of these type of charges against his players. Before that incident a student OD’d after suffering from PTSD from a gang rape by MSU football players. After her death her mom found her diary detailing the violent acts against her and naming all 4 players. The mother then went to MSU police with the diary and the investigation went nowhere. A football player was seen being interrogated on police video denying knowing of the incident but admitting to hearing teammates boast of "running trains".
The rape allegations against MSU basketball players Appling and Payne had to have been known to Izzo. They continued to play and the investigation effectively ended when the prosecutor told the victim ‘do you know you are making allegations against the MSU basketball team’? ‘If You can’t handle questions from me how will you hold up in a trial’? This the former prosecutor who is now employed by MSU. And the Travis Walton case of assault after punching a woman in a EL bar. Then months later accused of being part of a gang rape. At the time he stayed on as an undergrad student assistant.
Hollis is a lying POS. He coincidentally "retired" when this 3 year OTL story was coming out. ESPN submitted 11 questions Wednesday morning to MSU and Hollis for the story, so he definitely knew what they were bringing up this afternoon.
Edit: just realized you linked the story and it is more concise and even worse than the 1 hour OTL show, which I just saw and regurgitated above.
