Good column which summarizes it nicely. Woody just hit guys wearing helmets and shoulder pads.

But if you need a guy to get you to the Rose Bowl then lose the game, he's your man.

He was always known as a Michigan legend, but I don't think anyone really thought about him nearly as much as you would think.

And since this new information has come out, I haven't seen a single Michigan fan defend him. The fanbase realizes now that he wasn't the person that people thought he was.

How did the doctor do this for so long without a player beating the hell out of him?

This whole thing is weird. The man has been dead for 13 years and this just now comes out? And his abuse was often of grown arse men in their late teens and 20s?

One of the accusations involves SEVENTY SEPARATE INCIDENTS of anal rape of 17-22 year old D1 caliber wrestler who was much larger than the doctor. I don’t even know what to make of that shite. The “power dynamic” doesn’t even begin to explain that one. Who lets a man they could EASILY overpower continue to anally rape them for a period of 5 years?

And that’s not even the weirdest accusation. He apparently stuck his finger in the bunghole of a scholarship OL on numerous occasions. Like…how does that keep happening? Not one of these big burly athletes ever decided to just beat the shite out of him after about the 10th time he sexually assaulted them? This wasn’t a guy exclusively molesting small children. He was RAPING male major college athletes.

Exactly

Power dynamic my arse, many of these guys will commit violent felonies over words said at a bar. Practically every FBS program in the country has one guy a year at least arrested for some sort of violent public altercation. You’re telling in the decades this guy was raping college athletes not ONE of them decided to so much as take a swing?

I don’t understand that

That definitely goes out the window when something like is accused happens. It just seems like at the very least one player would beaten the snot out of him. I can't picture football players letting this happen

From the comments:

quote:

I think the answer here is probably more nuanced than has been reported. Did Bo KNOW what was going on ?? I think probably not. Should he have suspected ? Maybe, probably. In hindsight it is easy to say what he should have done. A few things to consider, Anderson was the team doctor until 2003...That means that Gary Moeller (coach 90-94) and Lloyd Carr (95-07) kept this guy on after Bo retired in 1989. Why ?? Why, if it was so widely known would they keep him on after Bo and Don Canham had retired ?? This would lead you to believe that maybe it wasn't as well known as some are saying. Another question, Would Jack Harbaugh (assistant coach at UM 1973-79) bring his son to Michigan if it was known that he would be molested?? Would Lloyd Carr bring his son Jason (QB 1993-96) to Michigan to be molested?? Would Stanley Edwards (RB 1978-81) send his son Braylon (2001-03) to be molested ?? It leads you to wonder if this wasn't discussed as much as many people are saying and Bo might not have been tuned in. The idea that Anderson was so crucial to Michigan winning football games is just stupid. Nobody had ever heard of this guy before the scandal came to light. If he was a big part of their success we would have heard of him before this. It is also possible that Bo was just an old school (born in 1929), simplistic guy who felt that yes, it sounded strange what the doctor was doing, but was raised in an age where people didn't tell doctors how to practice medicine.

It's the B1G

But they will still look down on all the rest of the conferences, LOLOLOLOL

This is the part that makes no sense to me, as well.
