This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

At least 14 people at Michigan State heard about Nassar by harmonica
before anything was done. The president was informed of at least one complaint.
It's not out of the question that the Notre Dame AD was aware of allegations against Nassar in his role of general counsel for USA Gymnastics, an entity currently being sued for negligence during the period he represented it.
You think no one would be wondering about that possibility if the football team were any good? I'm wondering if it's possible he didn't know anything, especially given his amnesia-induced deposition about his clients' problems with sexual assault.
