On the heels of the Larry Nassar case, Michigan State University was already under the microscope, and in short order, the president of the university announced her resignation last week. Following that revelation, Michigan State athletic director Mark Hollis resigned on Friday morning, and hours later, ESPN’s Outside The Lines published a report concerning an alleged culture of sexual assault in East Lansing.
Since then, the report has prompted a Los Angeles Clippers employee (and former Michigan State player/coach) to be placed on administrate leave, and on Friday evening, a bombshell emerged from Nicole Auerbach of The Athletic.
Within her report comes word that National Coalition Against Violent Athletes founder Kathy Redmond personally informed NCAA president Mark Emmert about accusations at Michigan State in 2010.
Redmond reportedly sent Emmert a letter “urging him to better protect women with new, stronger gender violence policy measures” and specific notes about Michigan State were included.
For example, despite recent reports of sexual violence involving two Michigan State University (MSU) basketball players, one of which admitted to raping the victim, neither man was charged criminally or even disciplined by the school. An earlier report of similar violence involving two other MSU basketball players also went un-redressed. In the past two years alone, 37 reports of sexual assault by MSU athletes have been reported, but not one disciplinary sanction was imposed by school officials against any of the men involved.
The reports in question were also referenced in the ESPN report, and the apparent knowledge of the NCAA president more than seven years ago is certainly noteworthy on a number of levels. Redmond told The Athletic that she believes “Mark Emmert came in with the right tone but quickly realized, ‘There’s not a lot I can do here.’” That came on the heels of an in-person meeting, also in 2010, and the report further presents knowledge that now-former Michigan State president Anna Lou Simon was then a member of the Division I Board of Governors.
