Welp, another Big 10 scandal with a doctor and sexually abusing players.

Scandal at Indiana University
quote:
Former Indiana team doctor accused of sexual misconduct by at least 15 men's basketball players
quote:
At least 15 former Indiana University men's basketball players allege sexual misconduct by former team physician Dr. Bradford Bomba, according to ESPN. Two former Indiana players — Haris Mujezinovic and Charlie Miller — originally filed a lawsuit against the university last October. Since then, at least three other ex-athletes have joined the lawsuit, and 10 additional men are planning to "pursue litigation," their attorney told ESPN. Bomba, who served as the team's physician for roughly 30 years, is accused of regularly giving players rectal exams during physicals. Rectal exams were not considered standard protocol for healthy, college-aged men at the time the exams were allegedly being performed, per ESPN. The former players believe those exams constitute sexual misconduct. They also allege university officials — including legendary coach Bob Knight — were aware of the exams and did nothing to stop them. Players claim they complained about the exams to Knight and former head athletic trainer Tim Garl, who continued to refer players to Bomba. Knight died in 2023. Garl served as the team's head athletic trainer for 45 years. Indiana declined to renew his contract in April.

That’s a twist I wasn’t expecting, but also not surprised.

At what age are rectal prostate exams recommended? I was about 29 when I got my first one, of course, this was a while ago by a doctor who had an excellent reputation and LSU sports ties.

Not buying it. Zero chance of a Dr being allowed to violate major college MALE athletes with full consent

Big 10 slogan should be "Big 10... It Just Hurts More"

All of these scandals keep originating from the 'old' B1G East division.

What constitutes being a part of an annual exam wasn’t exactly limited to checklist only back then and some checks done to be more thorough. Blaming Knight like he was supposed to know standard checks on a physical beyond his own which likely consisted of an annual prostate exam seems weak and purely to play into stuff that happened at Michigan State.
Do they complain about the hernia check?
Filing suit when doctor was starting to go senile and has since died and with Knight already dead seems opportunistic.
Unless the doctor did it on visits outside of an annual physical or has been proven to have had an issue that went beyond medical and more than just 1 unnamed man considering joining the lawsuit alleging that his genitals were touched once and another man alleging that 1 rectal exam was done while still a minor in high school this doesn’t seem like much of a scandal yet. It feels more like a money grab. Are they being left out of the revenue sharing back dating?

I don’t know, just seems like a weird old doctor who thought a useless practice from the 1940s was still needed.
Incompetence and sexual harassment are the same thing. Weird story either way

At 19 years old as a male you allow someone to sexually assault you, I don’t really give a shite.
You’re either gay or you do something about it when it happens. You don’t cum out 20 years later bitching about it.

Maybe Gym Jordan will chime in on this?

Agree, anyone that age can tell the Dr. to frick off if he suggests he needs to do something like that. If somebody got duped into allowing it they should sue themselves for being an idiot.

I’m just curious, because I see it all the time on TD, but why do people use ‘welp,……’ instead of ‘well,……’ ??
Makes no sense to me
