Will this receive the ESPN 24/7 coverage treatment?? Abuse of student athletes?? Does anyone care anymore?? Maybe Jim Jordan will chime in.

What does he have to do with the Supreme Court allowing lawsuits to proceed. So let’s get back to sports and not make it political.
You might want to come back to that question when Jordan is called as a witness in these cases.
Doesn’t matter. It would only be a smear campaign if he is called .
Nothing political at all. He was an
Really? There are fewer political elements in this case than there were in Sandusky.
He certainly knows a lot about that. He would probably ignore the subpoena anyway. That seems to be acceptable now.

Please take this opportunity to remember that Penn State has a culture problem.
As he should be because he is named by the accusers as having knowledge of the situation and ignoring them.
I believe the words that will repeatedly come from JJ will be “I don’t recall”. That could be a drinking game. Won’t take you long to get slobber-knockered.

One would think. To my recollection, Jordan has spoken about these allegations and denied them. If he goes the “I don’t recall” route, he would likely be asked about these comments. Regardless, OSU will likely settle.
A politician testifying under oath!!!! Sometimes you crack me up.
Politico had an article that the report came out that he had no knowledge.
We are kind of sounding like osu and mich blaming our coaches .

“Do you swear to the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?”
”I do.“
Because he said he had no knowledge or because the facts and timelines show unequivocally that he had no knowledge? Because until the later is clear, he is fair game for questioning. He’ll make a spectacle of it though as he always does because he likes the attention.
The report, produced by outside counsel hired by OSU, said that there was no documentary evidence that Jordan knew of Strauss's actions. Hoewver, same report said that 22 other coaches said they were.. Guess there is at least one advantage for one to have one's head up one's a$$.
I’d been saying for years that tOSU has no appeal!
THE Supreme Court told THE Ohia State to crack open their wallets. THE Big Ten won’t force them to pay $60M though
What about fines/penalties coming from the NCAA and B10, bowl bans, lost scholarships, etc.
Don't they do that anymore or was the coverup not done to protect the programs, or is that only for ex-employees?

Twere the NCAA, not the Big Anus (doesn't have any relationship to "Ten" but I like it anyway) that fined PSU $60mm. But don't hold that agin' 'em. PSU gave away almost twice as much all by its lonesome.
PSU could lend Tosu its expertise in settling expeditiously.
Questioned as to what? Was he a witness? Otherwise, he doesn’t have anything of relevance to testify about. But some zealots just can’t stop besting the Jim Jordan dead horse.
See my other post. Stop beating a dead horse. No claims are being made against Jordan.
You should take the advice of raz and not get political. But if any of this does see a courtroom, it's certainly within the realm of possibility Jordan will be called to testify - even if it's for the university and he says, "Nobody told me anything." It's not like he was just some rando university employee. OSU will try to cover its azz as much as possible.

So all coaches are getting called. All the head coaches. Again. There are 230 ? Lawsuits complaints? Against osu. I’m sure that is who they will focus on. No different than what happened at psu.
No matter how this goes I am pretty sure Jordan will expunge this issue from OSU's records. Apparently...that's a thing and he has the authority to do it.
Thats nice.
Thats nice.
No, he was not a witness. But he was made aware of it. The plaintiffs' position will be that OSU, in the person of Jordan and others, knew about Strauss and did nothing to stop him.

Jordan was an assistant wrestling coach with Ohio State University's wrestling program from 1987 to 1995.[11]
Richard Strauss was wrestling team physician during Jordan's tenure. In April 2018 Ohio State University began an independent investigation[12] into allegations of sexual misconduct by Strauss.[13][14] Strauss died by suicide in 2005.[15] Several involved persons have stated that Jordan surely knew of Strauss's criminal misconduct but did not report it.[16][17] No wrestlers have accused Jordan himself of sexual misconduct, and he was never arrested or indicted for his alleged failure to report, but four former wrestlers named him as a defendant in a lawsuit against the university.[18][19][20] Jordan has denied any wrongdoing, has refused to cooperate with investigations into Strauss,[21] and has described his accusers as "pawns in a political plot."[22]
