smackydoodle 200 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 It would seem Emmert is getting some nasty side glances for his cop-out answer regarding Michigan State and Larry Nassar. Auburn fans have always claimed he plays favorites with Saban. Well this statement won't help, "... Emmert also has ties to Michigan State University President Lou Anna Simon." NCAA president doesn’t have an opinion on the biggest sex abuse scandal in NCAA history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slammer1 409 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 This is absolutely amazing to me. After the NCAA going after what happened at Penn State and absolutely nothing happening to MSU, It shows to me that Mark Emmert is an absolute hypocrite. Didn't have enough info my azz.

keesler 5,924 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Emmert told members of the news mediaat the convention that he did not have enough information on what happened at Michigan State to comment on it in-depth. However, in his address Emmert rebutted the notion that the N.C.A.A. should steer clear of controversy. “We can’t dance around those things,” he said, referring to various scandals. “We can’t make excuses for it. We can’t say our process is slow.” He added: “How do we respond? I think, first of all, by not retreating from it, not getting under our desks not hiding from it.” ___________________________________________________ So the NCAA did get involved and opened an investigation into the MSU case.

AU64 10,122 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Looks like MSU finally accepting responsibility.....not sure where the pressure came from because looks like NCAA and Emmert were taking the soft approach but the President and AD are both gone now. JMO but Penn State was penalized in ways that did not relate to the crimes....huge $$$$ fines that were distributed by the NCAA to non-profits it favored and stuff like that and penalties on the football program were excessive since there was not indication that the program benefited in any way from what went on. Amazing thing to me is how quickly the football program bounced back. So for MSU....other than the firings....what's the appropriate penalty for ignoring this little worm for a decade or longer? I'm guessing because it involved a minor sport and far as I've seen, it did not directly involve MSU students, it would be hard to hit the athletic program......or maybe not?

Timeline of events posted above shows MSU student athletes had reported him. Thanks PowerofDixieland for posting the timeline. I have been wondering how in the world he could have abused that many girls/women and it just now come out? Now we know that it obviously took a lot of cover up, which is just plan sick. Everyone involved that help cover it up or turned a blind eye has a special spot in hell with their name on it. It's so sad that one voice could not be heard and that it took so many before people would listen. There is no way that anything could ease any of these young women's pain but hopefully with the people that have had to step down and now they will be forever tied to this and their lives affected as well (some ruined) will at least help. It sounds like there will be more dominos to fall as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was so appalling was that many of his victims were pre teens who were probably afraid report someone in his position..or who were too young to know what was going on.

PowerOfDixieland 3,225 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 To be clear, Michigan State University has not fired anyone related to the sexual crimes attached to the gymnastics program committed on that campus. The coach and AD were allowed to retire and the president resigned. The criminal charges should start with Kathie Klages who was the coach for the entirety of Nassar's "hunting season". This was from an article published almost a year ago.... "There are more allegations against Michigan State women’s gymnastics coach Kathie Klages as additional details emerge from a lawsuit filed against a former Spartans team doctor. According to a report from the Detroit Free Press on Tuesday, court documents allege that Klages told a Michigan State gymnast to keep quiet about inappropriate behavior by former team doctor Larry Nassar in the late 1990s." I am in no way advocating for it, but I would bet we start hearing about somebody (or more) committing suicide as fallout. I sincerely hope it's not any of the young girls who were allowed to be victimized. I also hope it's not Larry Nasser for the reason AU64 alludes to above.

That's just civil stuff of course.....the criminal actions are sure to follow. This was happening a long way from home so I had not heard much about it but the documentation above is much more damning that what happened at PSU and the fact that the issue was already in a trial phase and still nobody at MSU seemed to be concerned or engaged .....somebody is gonna pay for that .....I'm hoping.

Kathy Redmond, the founder of the National Coalition Against Violent Athletes, provided The Athletic with a copy of the letter she sent to Emmert urging him to better protect women with new, stronger gender violence policy measures.

GBAU83 212 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 So 2010, was Emmertt too busy trying to find the bagman on Cam and when he heard 37 allegations of sexual assaults at MSU, he figured trying to get AU out of bama's way was more important than finding true crime at another uni where a buddy of his was employed>>>> If this was brought to his attention in 2010 and he did nothing with it, he should not only be fired but added to the criminal charges.

PowerOfDixieland 3,225 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 This really should be what brings down the NCAA as it is currently constructed. An oversight body with no real authority over it's volunteer member institutions. In the information super highway age it has become highly apparent that there is a huge conflict of interest with the NCAA serving the group that actually donates the money and "events" that allow Mark Emmert's group to exist in pretty lofty fashion....

boisnumber1 2,818 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Kinda makes all of those that say the Emmert/Saban stuff is all black helicopter bs look stupid. It amazes after all that goes on in our world that people still refuse to believe the level of corruption that is present in most every facet of life. Im not a total pessimist, I know there is plenty good out there, but Im not a naive idiot either, especially when it comes to athletics & the NCAA. You are dealing with major egoes from the players on up to Emmert. All of which are rarely held accountable - and most of that accountability is perceived, not real. Essentially, college athletics is no different than any other aspect of society, but a reflection of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that the Charles Robinson investigative report got absolutely ZERO attention from the NCAA tells us all we need to know. He basically served bama up on a silver platter and Emmert and his crew did absolutely NOTHING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But do you believe that AU has been pure and angelic when it comes to corruption, cheating, cover ups, etc. Going back to the Dye years. FWIW, I know the answer regarding the Dye years. wde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do however have plenty of bammer coworkers that honestly believe they are whiter than snow when it comes to this. They truly believe it. They think they are the only ones who do not cheat, or have bad acting players. Its unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We obviously do not play the game as well as spuat, but it is not because we aren't trying. wde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
