If a student athlete wasn’t being paid in some fashion they couldn’t care less. They are going to “investigate” simply because this thing has gotten so bad that they feel they have to do something from a PR perspective. Odds are their investigation will result in maybe a couple harsh words and then it will be back to…

Gotta love our priorities as a society don’t ya?

What we thought was Pizzagate was actually a bunch of old guys who placed themselves around flexible teens AS A PROFESSION

They chose to protect him because the school’s reputation was more important to them than the well-being of young women (or for that matter their legal obligations). It’s not complicated, just very, very depressing.

As a straight cis white male, over the past few years I’ve come to find that, yep, rape culture is absolutely a thing. Nobody gives a shit, this is so much quieter than Penn State. Hell, they were dressed like they wanted it, right?

There’s no way that a lot of people didn’t know. There’s no fucking way. But whether anyone can PROVE that they knew...

Just remember, when you watch the NCAA you are complicit in this nightmare.

All of the people involved need to burn for this.

Totally agree. Oklahoma is a one man show. But that UCLA team as a whole was a joy to watch. Played fast, ran, great ball movement. TJ Leaf was as fun as Ball.

“I mean, we all know the Big Ten is rapey but it’s not like they’re launching dadgum YouTube channels!”

i think it’s just wanton negligence.

Lonzo wasn’t a fraction as exciting as Trae Young is now.

Not just this coach, but the gymnastics team trainer, Nasser’s supervisor who was a physician, and the four doctors from the Title IX investigation all heard about this “medical procedure.”

I assumed it was because it was discovered during trial that one of the accusers was receiving improper benefits.

OH GOOD AFTER A WEEK OF HORROR STORIES ABOUT DECADES OF ABUSE THE NCAA IS GOING TO LOOK INTO IT! THANKS GUYS! YOU’RE DOING A GREAT JOB!

That’s the infuriating thing about these abuses and others like it: everyone knows. Everyone. I played competitive basketball as a teenager, and there was a coach of another program in the state who was eventually convicted of 50+ counts of sexual assault, statutory rape, etc., and then hanged himself in prison. For…

Even greater than those of a movie cop being gunned down two days before retirement.

I think, “You have two points; get the f out of here” is perfect. You don’t get to be “The Mej” if you suck.

“So I got to work on my relationship with The Mej and trying to even the keel out. I gotta learn how to deal when I get my Salah tossed.”

This raises the question what other sexual assaults she’s helping cover up
