Appears to have done nothing with reports of sexual abuse and rape at MSU in 2010. A real piece of work this Emmert clown is. From the story:

But according to a report Friday night by The Athletic, NCAA president Mark Emmert was alerted in 2010 about dozens of reported sexual assault allegations against Michigan State athletes.

Emmert became NCAA president in 2010, and received a letter dated Nov. 17, 2010, from Kathy Redmond, founder of the National Coalition Against Violent Athletes. Redmond provided a copy of the letter to The Athletic.

The fourth paragraph read:

"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."

In an interview with The Athletic, Redmond said she found Emmert, 65, receptive to her concerns, meeting with her for 90 minutes.

“Mark Emmert was brand new, and he’d initially said, ‘One sexual assault is one too many,’ ” Redmond told The Athletic. “As soon as I heard that, I thought I might have an ally.”

Emmert declined comment to The Athletic.

maybe he is a clown.


What do you want him to do when there were no charges filed?

What do you want the university to do when there are no charges filed?

I guess maybe the boosters did a good job of talking to the police........maybe?

Um. Maybe look into it. Where there's smoke, there (may be) fire.

Still means my questions are still valid.

Yes you are correct. Didn't mean for you to think otherwise.

Why would the NCAA president look into it when local police and prosecutors didn’t push charges?

The person that’s being quoted is being dishonest in the paragraph you quoted. The player did not admit to raping the woman.

She also said in later paragraphs in the same article that Emmert doesn’t have power — the Governing Board does. And MSU’s former president Simon was on the board.

I know you’re not be argumentative. I’m not either.

why hold the NCAA to the fire if the police, courts, team coach and university did not come down on an individual?

How about you receive a report of sexual abuse allegations at MSU that are being covered up by a member institution? Do you have an abligation to respond? To act?

Actually, no, no obligation. Although contacting someone at Justice Department maybe should have crossed someone's mind...

those sexual abuse allegations you have noted were not charged by prosecutor after local police investigated or were not carried any further after Title IX investigations. There were some internal investigations by the athletic department that reads like it was a coverup.

However, the meeting that you have noted between Emmert and Redmond of NOAVA did not discuss any abuse or coverups allegations. She said she did discuss in general sexual abuse numbers and education.
