Even with all the people involved with the coverup fired at this point (I believe at this point that is the case, but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here)?

The followup I have now: would you allow the program to be restarted immediately with fresh personnel, or would you require it to be restarted down the line, because the problem here is if you don't require a restart date, they're going to use that to axe the program wholesale and never bring it back.

Restarted down the line is fine, also allow the students involved to transfer out if need be. If they use it as an excuse to axe the program that�s fine. They don�t have any particular need to have the program exist and it�s ultimately their choice.

And this is where I'm going to agree to disagree. I don't agree with axing it wholesale, but if the death penalty were to be handed it down, I would want it to be maybe a year moratorium and then restarted (any longer and you're looking at Title IX suits). The year "off" would be used to find new staff. Obviously free transfer with the scholarship transferring (in effect, MSU would pay for them to go elsewhere), and those who decide to stay do not lose any years of eligibility.

Again, I'm not sold on the death penalty, in that I feel it's too extreme, but I'm going to concede that you are, and whatever each other says here is not going to convince the other.

I can't help but feel like you've been moving the goalposts quite a bit, but let respond like this:

if you restart a program after only a year, how do you ensure that the wider university culture that has allowed the bad program to fester has been addressed? Many of the people at the edges (deans, athletic dept chairs outside of the specific sport, campus police, etc) are still going to be there. I believe this would lead to a "wait it out" attitude where the university has no need to actually seriously examine itself and correct its culture before rebuilding a program.

i would rather that a program restoration post-death-penalty have a clearly defined set of steps that the university must complete to regain approval. a non-comprehensive list of things I can think of that might be a good start are:

Mandatory interviews with all personnel (in any department, even outside the sports programs) by a neutral third party to identify individuals who should receive either training or be fired.
Mandatory overhauls around school policies for reporting and investigation of sexual assault, discipline of faculty and students found to have perpetrated sexual assault.
Expansion of campus rape crisis and counseling services.
Heavily expanded background checks for personal who will have contact with students outside of a classroom.

There's probably more stuff you could think of easily. Honestly my posts itt to this point have been pretty flippant because I thought it would just be self-evident to people that a program that systematically enables the assembly line-like rape of its students needs to be pulled up by the roots but I guess I have a bad habit of assuming people fill in the blanks the same way I do.

I don't think a university should be banned from doing a sport for 10,000 years or whatever. But I do think that they should have to prove they've made an ironclad best effort to make it a "never ever again" situation. If a school is a repeat offender after going through this process though? Burn that poo poo down for real.

iwentdoodie: Apr 29, 2005; 🤗YOU'RE WELCOME🤗

Honestly it should be all sports cancelled, and the entire department overhauled.

Cancelling a sport like gymnastics would hurt a small number of people and really not do much to the school as far as change. But shut down all of them, and have that be the threat on the table if you ignore poo poo? Change might actually happen.

You guys do realize that the death penalty is the last option the NCAA will use, right? It's not meant to be the first line.

I'm curious as to how I've been moving the goalposts (it annoys me when others do this, and I would like to avoid doing it myself). The first argument was over whether or not the NCAA has the purview to act on things like this. It doesn't. I agree it should, but I also understand that they weren't going to do poo poo in the first place.

The second argument was over the assumption that if the NCAA did have the ability to act, what would that punishment be? I feel the death penalty is too harsh on the program after Nassar and his enablers have been fired. At this point you're putting the burden of the punishment on what victims remain at MSU over the actual enablers.

I think they should be show-caused (lifetime) and the MSU program put on probation. If it happens again, then we can start talking death penalty. The death penalty is, as said above, meant to be the absolute last resort.

Burn that poo poo down for real.

I agree with the last point here, 100%, for what it's worth. Though I don't think whoever is at the helm of MSU at this point is interested in it, because he's a royal dickbag. He needs to go, but the board is doing nothing about it. I agree the whole program needs to be redone, and they largely have, same with US Gymnastics (at least from my observations). Correct me if they didn't severely overhaul the personnel in those orgs.

The bullet points however, are good, and should be required as part any punishment regardless if the death penalty was applied or not. Hell, that should be done regardless of any punishment.

The root problem is here is that by and large, most universities, regardless of where it happens or who does it, views sexual assault (and DV, for what it's worth) as a joke. Requiring the NCAA to try to fix that isn't going to work, in my opinion. This a problem that is both inside and outside of sports, and unless actual, real punishment starts happening to those universities for even outside sports cases, nothing is going to change, and lawmakers have shown no intention of changing it. I know this is going to be read as "well, nothing will change, might as well sit by and let it happen". That's not my intention. My intention is that unless we do something, nothing's going to change.

Ok that was likely goalpost shifting right there, sorry.

I'd add

Mandatory probationary period of X years (depending on severity of the offence), in which the athletics department is closely monitored by an appropriate body.
A third party of the student's choice to be present at all contact with department staff in one-on-one sessions (so in a situation like one where monsters like Nasser or Sandusky took advantage of kids, there would be a neutral third party there to observe and report).

The thing is we're not talking about an isolated part of a niche sport administration that colluded in this horror, it was large chunks of not just the athletic department but of the college institution itself.

And I'll agree that punishment should not be doled out by the NCAA alone, but holy gently caress when the institution itself goes out of its way to cover poo poo up, that should be grounds for a "you cannot participate in the NCAA" death penalty.

No, your argument here doesn't actually make sense. He's saying the institution itself covering up sexual assault of varying flavours of horrific in the athletics department should be a "gently caress off out of the NCAA."

Unless you can establish a clear link between the athletics programme and, hypothetically, the department of hypothetics juking exam scores to raise their pass-rate with tacit or even outright involvement from the institution itself, why would the NCAA be involved? That'll end up being an entirely different kettle of fish.

Well, a solid and very visible line would be a good place to start from. I'd say:

1) Any violation involving the jeopardy of the health (sexual, physical, mental, etc), finance (cash payments, scholarship, etc), and/or well-being (civil liberties, discrimination, etc) of a student athlete
2) Any violation involving collusion within the team, staff, AD, the institution, and/or multiple institutions that affect or have effected student athletes in the manners listed in (1).
3) Any violation involving the jeopardy of the health, finance, and/or well-being of non-athlete students by student athletes and/or AD staff in the manners listed in (1).
4) Any violation involving the collusion within the team, staff AD, the institution, and/or multiple institutions that affect or have effected the NCAA recognized sport they participate in.

As for something the institution does that doesn't involve sports at all? We're talking about further unimaginable horrors that would cause a full blown peace out like "Duke campus legalizes rape" or "Harvard found to be actively sheltering Nazi war criminals out of spite".

I'm not sure what the appropriate governing body is here, but it's pretty clear at this point that the Athletic Department as a whole and the University completely failed to provide a safe environment for their students and children in their care.

The Athletic Department has seen no punishment and John Engler is there specifically to limit the punishment Michigan State gets. The university agreed to a 500 million dollar settlement but that cost is almost assured to come out of tuition or fee increases from the students they're supposed to protect. If the NCAA is not the appropriate body to take action when an athletic department has no oversight and allows a house of horrors to operate as a "missing stair," who is?

And this is a couple of pages ago, but members of the track and field teams were among the victims in addition to the gymnasts and softball players. I would bet there were a large number of students from every sport MSU offers referred to Nassar for treatment.

"He asked her a variety of questions including, but not limited to, whether her father was around, whether she had ever done gymnastics, and whether she had ever had a vaginal exam," Davis' attorneys wrote, adding that Nassar also said he was doing a flexibility study through the the university.

Then, with another man in the room with a video camera, Nassar asked if Davis had ever had a breast examination, which she had not, according to the lawsuit.

"Defendant Nassar then told her that she had prepubescent breasts, but that he thought he could get the nipples hard," Davis' attorneys wrote. "He then used his hands and then his mouth to do so. During this time, the cameraman was filming Defendant Nassar�s sexual abuse of Plaintiff Erika. Defendant Nassar then asked the cameraman to step outside for a discussion."

Nope, there was a second guy there to film it, who, if not already, should be in jail too.

The FBI and local law enforcement hosed up the investigation, not the NCAA

�In particular, investigators are interested in the Indianapolis FBI office�s 2015 dealings with the gymnasts, a person familiar with the matter said. Around September 2015, an agent in the field office spoke with former Olympian McKayla Maroney over the phone�rather than in person�to discuss her allegations of abuse by Nassar. That conversation didn�t lead to an investigation.�

quote:

Local law enforcement in Michigan has had its share of failures in the Nassar case so it�s not like they�ve been perfect, either. First, there was the 2004 Meridian Township investigation that started with a complaint from Brianne Randall (now Randall-Gay) and ended with Nassar showing the detectives a Power Point presentation claiming he had performed a legitimate treatment without bothering to consult an expert that wasn�t the accused.

At what point do we shift from "Burn MSU to the ground" to "Burn the NCAA to the ground"?

What are you talking about? The NCAA seems to be fulfilling its duty in this matter, which is to stay the gently caress out of the way.
