Report: Whistleblower spoke to NCAA president Mark Emmert about Michigan State allegations in 2010

NCAA president Mark Emmert was alerted to 37 reports of alleged sexual assault by Michigan State athletes at a meeting in 2010, soon after he was hired, according to a report in The Athletic.

According to The Athletic, the meeting occurred in Indianapolis in November 2010 -- six months after Emmert's hiring.

Emmert met with Kathy Redmond, the founder of the National Coalition Against Violent Athletes, and received a letter from her dated Nov. 17, 2010, that detailed the allegations about MSU athletes sexually assaulting women. Also in attendance alongside Emmert and Redmond was legal expert Wendy Murphy, according to the website.

I guess NCAA could stand for Not Caring About Assault but I suppose that falls under the umbrella of anyone.

Attorney General Bill Schuette opening investigation into Michigan State athletics

The Michigan State board of trustees, which had called for Schuette to open an inquiry, also drew a sharp rebuke from the attorney general.

"I don't need advice from the board of trustees about how to conduct an investigation," Schuette said. "They should be the last ones giving advice about how to conduct an investigation. Their conduct speaks for itself."

Saw HBO Real Sport's special on US Olympic Committee the other day and immediately thought of NCAA.
In fact, I'd say it's far worse than NCAA... those athletes get practically nothing while USOC builds and rents huge facilities to our competitors !?
But the exploitation of so-called "amatueur athletes" seems to be a theme. USOC makes billions every year w/o paying taxes as a Non-Profit ... NBC will pay them even more to air the Olympics. And all the money goes to paper pushers at the top of USOC and each sport's committee.
Throw in the Penn State - esque disregard enabling entrenched monsters to rape countless children and there seems to be a pretty clear blueprint here.

I always have a little tremor of outrage when that term surfaces regarding the Olympics.

Can never forget how they stripped Jim Thorpe of everything he'd accomplished because he picked up bus fare playing baseball one summer.
And now, they assemble multi-millionaire NBA players to represent the USA as our "team"? Hypocrites.

Thorpe was stripped of his Olympic medals, not of everything he'd accomplished. But more generally, while you can certainly argue whether amateurism should have ever been required, it's not clear how changing a standard over time amounts to hypocrisy. The people who required amateurism in 1912 were not involved in the decision to allow NBA players to play in the Olympics 80 years later. Would you find it less hypocritical if professionals continued to be excluded from the Olympics?

The weird and arbitrary amateur/pro split in Olympics and highest levelsof NCAA is confusing.
It's also how these organizations with useless figurehead paper pushers make 7figure salaries while the athletes that make up the tv content we all pay for get like $1500/yr in support or strings-attached papermill degrees ... some 6% of USOC's funds go to athletes and 0% of NCAA
