Tom Izzo defends handling of MSU sexual assault investigations
Michigan State basketball coach Tom Izzo defended himself Sunday regarding ESPN’s reporting of sexual assaults in the athletic department.
Izzo said that he had cooperated with all investigations into wrongdoing on the part of his players and coaches, and that he would continue to do so.
Tom Izzo on whether he has any regrets about how he has handled everything: "I cooperated with every investigation. Every one. And I will continue to cooperate with every investigation. Every one."

Of course, this isn’t really the issue. Izzo and others were criticized for not taking action against alleged perpetrators, and the investigations were criticized as not being very thorough. Many more questions will have to be answered in the days and weeks to come.
