850+ victims, now the head coach's own son.

It was covered up for decades because the head football coach was a god on campus and refused to hear anything negative about his handpicked doctor who would follow his orders and clear injured players to play.

Dr. Anderson had probably thousands of victims total, almost 100 women have come forward. Now people who were victimized when they were children are coming forward.

All allowed to happen for decades to protect a football brand that was very profitable for everyone involved.
