As an MSU alum, this whole situation horrifies me. That said, I'm almost equally horrified by the way that ESPN is attempting to tie Dantonio and Izzo to Nassar.
MSU obviously has a poisonous culture, which desperately needs to be fixed. And call me defensive, but I think it's pretty obvious that this is a widespread problem. By making it an Izzo/Dantonio story, ESPN let's everyone file this into their established "dirty coaches" file (whether true or not) and avoid the uncomfortable questions about the larger cultural issues
