It is well more than 200 against Nassar. The 156 that spoke at his trial were not every claim against him and it is very unlikely every one with a valid claim came forward given the nature of his victims.150 claims vs Nassar, the football, and basketball programs.
Those lawsuits will be massive and crippling when the civil suit comes, but I do not know enough about the case to know who ultimately will be sued over it. USGA? USOC? MSU? Twistars? karolyi ranch? There were a lot of organizations that failed these young girls over a very long time period. I doubt it will be just MSU sued and I have no idea how much of a burden they will carry.
The problem here for MSU is more every other rock being turned over. It is often not the original thing that brings the NCAA down on a school, but rather a cover up or other things they find that brings them trouble. In this case there are at least allegations of lack of proper handling of abuse cases stemming from student athletes on campus and this microscope is undoubtedly going to bring excess heat on them for it.
