1. Scumbag will get his due one day. As a public employee, why wasn't he charged in failing to ...

disclose what was happening to these boys? In a lot of jurisdictions, a person of responsibility must report suspected abuse to the authorities. Did someone get bribed in Ohio?

8. You have to know Ohio State culture

I worked there for ten years. What I will remember most is the bullying and condoning, ignoring, and covering up of all sorts of egregious behaviors, especially if they occurred in the athletic department or included athletes. I refer to OSU as a The Evil Empire for a lot of good reasons.

10. Yes, thank you for reminding me. Missouri had the same kind of culture too, and it caused an ...

enormous scandal, all when the Mo Football Tigers were ranking nationally at the time...take care...
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The University of Missouri did not investigate or tell law enforcement officials about an alleged rape, possibly by one or more members of its football team, despite administrators finding out about the alleged 2010 incident more than a year ago, an "Outside the Lines" investigation has found. The alleged victim, a member of the swim team, committed suicide in 2011.

For most of 2010, Missouri swimmer Sasha Menu Courey harbored a secret: She believed she'd been raped by a football player. Late that year, her life spiraling downward, Menu Courey began to share her secret with others, including a rape crisis counselor and a campus therapist, records show. In the ensuing months, a campus nurse, two doctors and, according to her journal, an athletic department administrator also learned of her claim that she had been assaulted.

Healthcare providers are generally exempt from requirements to report such crimes and also are bound by medical privacy laws. But those same protections do not extend to campus administrators, who at Missouri were made aware of claims that Menu Courey had been raped through several sources, including a 2012 newspaper article as well as the university's review of records when fulfilling separate records requests by her parents and "Outside the Lines."

Etc.

If not it's a powerful one worth reading.

Katie Hill resigned over a consensual affair with a staffer. Bill Clinton was impeached. Jim Jordan stood by silently while tens if not hundreds of young men entrusted to his care as their coach were subjected to sexual abuse & did nothing.

12. Show off. Yep, that's the one. Thanks

3. Good to see this scandal finally getting some traction.

One of the points made in Ronan Farrow's book Catch and Kill so clearly is how much suffering (sometimes decades of suffering) could be prevented if people spoke out rather than shrug about sexual assault. He deserves to be undone by his complicity.

7. He wont resign. He is a GOP.

Democrats resign at the first hint of trouble, real or not. Republicans dont and keep being elected.

14. Gym Jacketoff Jordan continues a lifetime of shirking his duty

GOP should be held to civil standards. Excusing them because they are GOP just perpetuates their behavior. Their constituents should be shamed for electing shameful representatives.
