    And the fucking assholes keep cropping up

    In related news, Bo Schembechler is transferring from Heaven University effect immediately. He will be attending Hell A&M. As a graduate transfer, Schembechler will be immediately available for eternity. Schembechler, known for choking, will be gaging in his new assignment. The longtime Michigan coach will join many of his Hall of Fame colleagues including Joe Paterno and Woody Hayes.

    The abusive doctor performing unnecessary rectal and genital exams was an open secret for decades on the University of Michigan campus, but the administration failed to take any action, despite nearly a dozen reports of misbehavior to school officials, coaches and trainers, according to a federal lawsuit filed against the school Thursday.
Even the school’s legendary football coach, Bo Schembechler, was alerted to the abusive behavior and improper medical treatments, the complaint alleges. But Dr. Robert Anderson was allowed to continue treating students and athletes for years, until his voluntary retirement in 2003. Anderson died in 2008.
More than 50 students, including 26 former football players, sued the university Thursday in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. The complaint states that Anderson sexually abused hundreds, “if not thousands,” of boys and young men during his time at Michigan. The lawsuit is one of dozens that have been filed against the school, and the known accusers now number around 600. The university announced an investigation in February.

    Although Schembechler wasn't quite the same level of god walking the earth in Ann Arbor as JoePa was in State College, he still had enough godlike power to have a doctor -- any doctor-- removed from the athletic program.

    It’s Geddert’s turn.

    LANSING, Mich. -- John Geddert, the former USA gymnastics coach who led the women's team to gold at the 2012 London Olympics, has been charged with multiple felonies, including human trafficking and sexual assault, according to court documents.

    The charges include 20 counts of human trafficking and forced labor, one count of first-degree sexual assault, one count of second-degree sexual assault, racketeering and lying to a police officer.

    Geddert's charges stem from an investigation that started in February 2018 in the wake of complaints raised about his coaching style during the sentencing hearing for disgraced doctor Larry Nassar. Court documents say the sexual assault charges come from an incident in 2012 when Geddert allegedly digitally penetrated a girl who was between the ages of 13 and 16.

    Geddert previously owned Twistars USA Gymnastics in Dimondale Michigan, just outside of Lansing, where dozens of women say they were sexually assaulted by Nassar under the guise of medical treatment. Geddert and Nassar worked side-by-side for more than a quarter century, while both rose to the pinnacle of elite gymnastics.

    Michigan attorney general Dana Nessel has scheduled a press conference for Thursday afternoon to announce the charges.

    Geddert's attorney, Chris Bergstrom, did not respond to a request for comment. Bergstrom told WILX-TV in Lansing that he had not received notice of charges as of Wednesday evening, but said Geddert intended to surrender peacefully if charged.

    Geddert did not respond to a request for comment Thursday morning.

    Geddert, 63, has long been viewed within the gymnastics community as one of Nassar's chief enablers. As far back as the late 1980s, at Great Lakes Gymnastics Club in Lansing, before he was even a licensed physician, Nassar began sexually assaulting minor gymnasts on his training table, according to the accounts of multiple women.​
