    What I saw was "may retire" in the next few days. I "may retire" in the next few days, too. Probably not. But I may.

    Rule to live by for employers everywhere: Do not cover up a sexual assault, or any assault against a woman. If you are weighing the cost-benefit of covering up a sexual assault, or any assault against a woman, here is my advice: Do not cover up a sexual assault, or any assault against a woman.

    It's not the crime that gets you, it's the cover up. Always.

    I heard about that the other day too, I think the Indy Star might be looking into it. Which around these cases is now like Jim Cantore coming to your town in a storm.

    Since Dantonio's tenure began in 2007, at least 16 MSU football players have been accused of sexual assault or violence against women, according to interviews and public records obtained by Outside the Lines. Even more, Dantonio was said to be involved in handling the discipline in at least one of the cases several years ago. As recently as June, Dantonio faced a crowd of reporters who were asking questions about four of his football players who had been accused of sexual assault. Six questions in, a reporter asked Dantonio how he had handled such allegations previously.

    "This is new ground for us," Dantonio answered. "We've been here 11 years -- it has not happened previously."

    Don't give me a hit-and-run. Explain your point. Really, explain why this should take down the baseball program.

    I never said the baseball program. Or sports. I did say every administrator who as much as farted in the same elevator as Nassar. Or referred to it as "the Nassar thing". Or, if you decide to plant your flag with Simon and say "I have to say, though, that I have the utmost – the utmost – faith and respect for the leadership of our president, too, at Michigan State. That’s a woman who has dedicated over 40 years – and I’ve been here 33 with her, and I think I know what she stands for. " when you're own program is dirty.

    Then you're arguing a different point than the point I made. My only point was that we should be vigilant not to pile up collateral damage while seeking justice.

    Soldier on, big fella.
