NCAA: "No Wrongdoing" By Michigan State In Nassar Scandal

The Michigan State athletic department has been "cleared of any wrongdoing in the eyes of the NCAA" in regards to the Larry Nassar scandal. The NCAA said that it "does not appear there is a need for further inquiry,” and that a review “has not substantiated violations of NCAA legislation." MSU "received a letter from the NCAA on Jan. 23 requesting the school’s response to any possible violations committed in regard to the case against Nassar." The NCAA also cleared MSU in questioning of how sexual assault cases "had been handled by football coach Mark Dantonio" and men’s hoops coach Tom Izzo, saying it “has not substantiated violations of NCAA legislation" (DETROITNEWS.com, 8/30).

After the ruling came down, ESPN's Kirk Herbstreit tweeted he "can't wait to watch, read, and listen to ALL the follow up stories from the same folks that had @MSU_Basketball and @MSU_Football Guilty Until Proven Innocent." Herbstreit: "Is that one reporter that followed Coach Izzo around at post game pressers gonna chase him down now?!?" The reporter Herbstreit referenced, ESPN's Nicole Noren, then responded with a quip seemingly directed at Ohio State, where Herbstreit played football. Noren: "Thanks Kirk. We also look forward to the follow-up stories we’re working on about holding education officials accountable in regards to reports of violence against women."
