You think a non-football player would have his name completely left out of the report, had the case closed until the victim complained and stated that he wanted to press charges. Really?
Lewan wasn't named at the scene, so yeah. When you're not named at the scene you're going to be left off the initial report.
One of the staff members who the accused told what happened and didn't pass the information on to the MSU police or Dantonio was immediately suspended and did not have his contract renewed for next year. I'd be ok with clear cutting that entire coaching staff save Dantonio. But I'm a zero tolerance type of guy.
It's hard to take a sporting news site seriously when the have an article for "Rashan Gary down to two schools" in the kicker.
It sounds horrible to have five players charged with sexual assault, it boils down to three incidents. One was two years ago with a player after his last season while working on his masters that has not been brought up in this thread. It is definitely something that will tarnish Dantoino's time here but it is something that he can recover from but it will always be there. I don't know if he has the energy to deal with all this weight. I've always said he only had 3-4 years left but this may shorten this to next year being the last, depending on how this season goes.
Yeah, I have a tendency to be that way too. My wife says I'm too often a "Ready, Fire, Aim" guy. What miffs me is I'd bet the farm that nearly every coach/coaching staff knew damned well these kids had some "history" from high school that indicated this type of stuff (and other stuff) had a high probability of showing up...even before they ever set foot at the school. But, their talent was worth the risk.
Dantonio has obviously lost control. Kind of reminds me of Urban Meyer's Florida teams minus the natty's.
Haven't read the article yet but Wojo is a douche canoe and needs to be off the radio.
He makes a pretty good case about the problems in the last few years at MSU.
Yes and it is written as unbiased as an article would be written by Hammer about Ohio State and Urban Meyer. Wojo is such a UM homer. A lot of these issues happened within a couple of weeks of each other and there is nothing he could really do to punish the players to set the example for anyone else. He wants to blame Dantonio because Blackwell didn't report what he found out to him. "Pinning all the blame on someone," well yeah, the guy hid a serious offense from the police and the staff. Dantonio suspended the players immediately when the players were accused, something that does not happen everywhere, and as soon as charges were brought up they were kicked off the team, also something that doesn't happen everywhere. Sometimes Dantonio is too easy (see Delton Williams brandishing a weapon, suspended and kicked off scholarship, I would have preferred kicked off the team) and sometimes he has the right response (kicking a quarter of the team off the team before the bowl game for a brawl). I just don't know how he can punish players properly when he has a member of the staff actively hiding crimes.
