Well, he didn't know about Nassar, which is the big issue.

But I am all in favor of him being removed.  He was the LSU chancellor when our friend satan was there.   :bird:

He may not have known about Nassar specifically, but it sure sounds like he was made aware of the culture in MSU's administration that allowed Nassar to go unchecked for decades.  Had action been taken back then, Nassar could have been stopped eight years sooner than he was.

Maybe. I am all for Nassar getting what he deserves, but the sexual assaults on women by athletes happen everywhere and are really only distantly related to the Nassar case, which Emmert had no knowledge of (or so far as we know).  For instance, our own university paid out a big settlement.

Nassar is a special case.

Having said that, I would love for this to bring down Emmert.  IMO he has been aiding and abetting saban for years.  So I actually hope this costs him his job.  :biggrin:

The cover up/look the other way culture will spotlight D'Antonio and Izzo.  Many instances in football/basketball, certainly nowhere the unbelievable level of Nassar, but still serious.
