They have literally nothing else to report on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IowaHoosierFan Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 I used to like Izzo but now i think he just continue to cover up more and more crap that happens at that univeristy. That whole place should have gotten the death penalty after the last round of things that happened. But nothing happened at all. Disgraceful.

jefftheref Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 Nothing will happen from this. Izzo is just like a couple well known political figures, exempt from being guilty of anything even when the evidence overwhelming proves otherwise. Those people are always innocent even when proved guilty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have played a much bigger role in this stuff surfacing when it all happened. ESPN has a tendency to swoop in and pretend they're some moral crusader who only values what is righteous, when in reality it's all based on what's good for business. I cant stand them.

addictedtoIU Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 Brock Washington did it as an incoming freshman. He didn't even spend a semester there. Same thing for Keith Appling and Adreian Payne when they committed a rape. To me, it's obvious MSU has a culture that basketball players are above other students. Players can't be harmed and will be protected by all means necessary. Obviously coaching staff wouldn't promote wrongdoings, but it's the culture they have in the locker room. Even newbies in the program know they'd be protected and would get away with crimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it’s a catch 22. ESPN isn’t a news organization no matter how they portray themselves, they’re a sports entertainment company. If they expose the frauds and the criminals in sports, they’re hurting the appeal of the people, teams and organizations that provide their content. I haven’t watched much ESPN outside of games or an occasional 30/30 in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
