Mark Dantonio and Tom Izzo ― head coaches of MSU’s football and basketball teams, respectively ― sought Friday night to tamp down rumors of their departures following the ESPN report. Izzo, asked about the ESPN report following a MSU basketball game, said he hadn’t had enough time to think about it. Later, a woman went to then-Athletic Director Hollis to accuse Walton and two MSU basketball players of raping her. Sources told the outlet that abuse complaints involving members of MSU’s athletic department were often handled internally, sometimes even by coaches. The Nassar case, which affected several of the country’s finest women gymnasts, raised sharp questions over MSU’s ability to process abuse complaints.
