This report covers nothing about the facts of what happened in the football locker room.

This reports says “things are mostly good but you need better policy manuals.”

I hope the anonymous ex-athlete Open Letter writers weren’t offended by Loretta Lynch’s highly politicized report.

I'm offended by the waste of money that went into producing this thing. There are starving children in Africa.

Several reported B1G offers. Looks like a good pickup out of Ohio.

We don’t even know what really happened. Why are there no pitchforks to find and punish the perpetrators, some of whom are likely still on the team? Fitz gone, problem solved I guess.

I really don’t see how you can prevent it now. NIL rulings favor the players. Everyone talks about how salary caps work in the NFL, but it does not prevent players from endorsing products or accepting money for an appearance. So teams may be capped on paying $22 million but that star QB can still make money “outside” of football. So, yes there will be “cheaters” but it just won’t be cheating.

The teams that were getting the 5 star athletes will still be getting the 5 star athletes. We will continue to get the 3-stars with a sprinkle of 4-star.

If a football player went up to a nerd outside of tech and started dry-humping him, I'm gonna take a wild guess that he'd face disciplinary action.

Northwestern's apparent unwillingness to enforce its own supposed anti-hazing policies seems to say the offenses were not serious enough to warrant punishment of the perpetrators. I realized that on day 2 and I still can't reconcile it. (thats why I wondered if the official anti-hazing policy may not apply to athletics)

This is what bugs me about the whole matter. If there was any evidence that Fitz knew and was covering it up, then it changes the whole matter. His office is not near the locker room People said he should have known but that is the public impression of the head coach’s job and not reality. Practice is over and he entertains the media, talk with boosters, head backs to his office, sends texts to recruits, meet with his coordinators, plans for the game, talks shop with other coaches, watches film, and meets with different people from the athletic department. Those people are to inform the coach about everything like trip logistics, ncaa requirements, upcoming events, bowl projections, financial budget, PERSONNEL ISSUES, and a thousand other things. He may meet with the captains at some point. Unless someone told him, he will not know. Even if he does go to the locker room, everyone would be on the best behavior when he is there. It feels more like he was the scapegoat for the athletic department who had staff members who were told or who witness these events and did nothing about it.

This is the wobbly card that makes the entire house collapse.
