4. The article suggests in fact they didn't win the right way

Izzo didn't fire a student assistant coach who punched a woman in the face. Same assistant coach was accused of participating in a gang rape a few months later. Fortunately such things don't get in the way of big time athletics and the matter was dealt with internally by the basketball team. Clearly an effective approach.

2 basketball players who were accused of rape, had their on campus housing moved as a result, but MSU didn't suspend the players, nor did they start a Title IX investigation as required by law.

Dantonio dealt with a sexual assault claim against one football player by "having him tell his mom", which if he's as scummy as every other rapist was likely some version of we were both drunk and made a mistake, or she had a short skirt, or she changed her mind afterward or some such nonsense.

MSU sued ESPN to attempt to avoid giving them records on the pathetic "investigations". MSU was laughed out of court.

Big time college athletics needs to be nuked from orbit and started over.
