For the NCAA, that is now investigating this, it is going to come down to who knew what and when within the MSU hierarchy.
I'm not sure of the technical aspects of the nexus between USA Gymnastics and MSU or the technicals of Nassar's relationship with both. If I'm not mistaken, Nassar was MSU's gymnastics doctor - at least that is what is easily findable on the web. He was an employee of MSU. Froot?
Like in the NCAA investigation of PSU in the Sandusky affair, I have to ask why the NCAA is involved. This is a criminal matter. I get the question of institutional control but if I remember correctly there were signification questions about the capacity of the NCAA to afford due process to specific individuals accused of being involved at PSU.
Anyway, don't get me wrong. If any MSU official failed to report sexual abuse as Michigan law requires, that individual has committed a crime but again, I question why the NCAA is involved. Leave the investigation to the appropriate prosecutor when sufficiant evidence exists to charge.
