See the link below. From the article:
”The University of Michigan has agreed to a $490 million settlement with hundreds of people who say they were sexually assaulted by a former sports doctor at the school, those involved in the agreement said Wednesday.
Attorney Parker Stinar said that 1,050 people will share in the settlement, which was reached the night before.
University spokesman Rick Fitzgerald confirmed the settlement and said a statement would be released later Wednesday.
"I am proud to announce that a settlement was reached with the 1,050 survivors of Robert Anderson and the University of Michigan," Stinar said. "It has been a long and challenging journey, and I believe this settlement will provide justice and healing for the many brave men and women who refused to be silenced."
The university had been in mediation to resolve multiple lawsuits by mostly men who said Anderson sexually abused them during routine medical examinations. Anderson worked at the university from 1966 until his 2003 retirement and was director of the university's Health Service and a physician for multiple athletic teams, including football.”

Please take this opportunity to remember that Penn State has a culture problem.
490,000,000 / 1050 = 466,666.6666666667 each victim
490,000,000 x 40% = 196,000,000 lawyers
490,000,000 - 196,000,000 = 294,000,000
294,000,000 / 1050 = 280,000 each victim
You know the 40% is factual?
Just asking is all.
I haven't seen a lawyer figure. Sorry if I missed it sir.
do not know if it is factual, I'm guessing they get paid
I'm assuming the attorneys will probably receive at least 30 + % of the settlement unless another agreement was made.
I better see some some statements of atrocity from all the talking heads that tried to bury Joe.

I see the WP has a story on it that takes up most of page 3 of the news section, though Sally Jenkins has not weighed in with her usual fault-finding on the sports pages and I suspect will not. Nor is Bo’s prior knowledge explicitly mentioned.
In retrospect, MSU's scandal is possibly the worst. Young gymnasts for 20 years being abused and MSU had an idea that pervert was up to something? While at PSU, we had people paid off quickly and the perp wasn't employed by the university when the offenses occurred.
At PSU, yes. At um, decades of real harm covered up is not nonsense.
The concept of an old frumpy doctor "abusing" college athletes is absurd in general.
And I guess I just don't understand how a monetary hand out does anything to help these traumatized "victims". I'm going to go out on a limb and say that if the settlement was that each victim could go to therapy to talk about their abuse for free (on Michigan's dime) instead of a cash payout, the # of victims would be far less.
I’ll make this easy for you. F*ck michigan.
Sandusky is a pedophile but I am “admitting“ nothing since I had nothing to do with it, scUM clown.
Truthfinder?
I think OJ has devoted more time and energy to finding truth than you
Speaking of OJ, hasn’t it been proven in the court of law that he didn’t murder NBS and RG?
Too bad I can’t say the same thing about you, Michigan Man.
He is the WackNole character from the old McAndrews Board. He said over there that he never posted anything because Tom McAndrews would censor and delete whatever he posted. His handle here makes you want to think he is seeking the truth. He wouldn't know truth if it bit him on the nose.
Go watch the HBO real sports segment, it was a running joke to get sent to the "Doc"
No. The jury decided that they couldn’t decide beyond a reasonable doubt that he killed them. He did lose the civil trial, though.
