Most fans of college football have known about this incident for years. Nice of the University to finally do something about it - AFTER both the player's eligibilities are completed.

” a graduate student in the School of Social Work after graduating with a general studies degree,”

Worthless and worthless.

Got to hand it to that crack investigative staff - 4-plus years to come to a decision!

On to Sandusky next . . .

He must have done more than just lurking in the Men’s room at Mason Hall. That place was notorious for homosexual hookups in the bathroom stalls over 30 years ago.

What exactly was the nature of the crime?

Mighty convenient to wait till football eligibility is used up to kick him out. Sports should be separated from public education and be nothing more than private clubs with no public funds supporting them. College sports are big business and should be supported with private money.

There has been an active cover up though since the incident.

After the expulsion letter, Gibbons did not play against OSU for an undisclosed injury “tweak” and then not in the barbeque bowl for “family issues” as portrayed by Brady Hoke, UM’s football coach.

Apparently court records were dumped onto the internet making the coverup impossible to continue.

Also involved is Taylor Lewan, an offensive lineman more than on the field. Lewan threatened the victim with rape if she didn’t shut up. He most recently was involved in an assault on an OSU fan post game 2013. His playing time was never interrupted. His threat to rape only resulted in talking to by the police. Lewan is expected to be a high round draft pick and is known for being a dirty player.

This announcement is also very unusual, not because of the charges, but because of the very protective relationship UM has with local law enforcement and the press.

You will recall the largest cheating scandal in NCAA basketball history, the Fab Five was well known to the likes of Mitch Albom. However, it was not written about and he continued to work on his book about them.

Obviously, the press again looked the other way to maintain access.

The internet once again has made it difficult for a coverup. Bo used to keep it “in the family” but things now have a way to sneak out. Hell, a UM football player actually shot at cops without repercussion. Now that is institutional control.
