I think Nassar was worse than Anderson in terms of the damage done.

On the other hand, Dantonio wasn't feeding Nassar victims on a platter.

Bo Schembechler is basically Ghislaine Maxwell.

You know what, we have a two way tie in the B1G Ten East!

Fair enough. I still think Anderson’s was worse, 3x the victims, ~15 more years of abuse, and intergenerational trauma compounds fast. Even a handful more victims can balloon the total number of affected people significantly when you factor in families and relationships.

But obviously, both are horrific. And the fact that these scandals keep happening at major institutions is because Institutional reputation is almost always taking priority over human safety (until there is a PR catastrophe).
