Did you read the full article? He mentioned the book in sentence two.Honeyman wrote: ↑Mon Jun 28, 2021 7:39 pmMatt wrote: ↑Mon Jun 28, 2021 6:35 pm Here is a very thoughtful look at the situation at Michigan: https://johnubacon.com/2021/06/dr-ander ... dont-know/
Very objective......"I coauthored Bo Schembechler’s last book, Bo’s Lasting Lessons,which was published in 2007"
Read Rosenbergs article in SI.

Remarkably, the University could probably walk away without paying the survivors anything and suffer no legal consequences. But you can be legally right and ethically wrong, which is exactly what that would be. My sources tell me the University has offered about $100,000 per survivor, or about $90 million total, to the plaintiffs’ attorneys, who have so far rejected the offer.
But all these questions aside, when I consider Dr. Anderson and the broad ripples of his abuse, what I feel most is a heavy sadness.
Doctor Anderson was evil.
The University failed to protect its students.
Hundreds of students suffered.
And those are very hard truths.
He does none of the sort. He does say that it is hard to believe given everything he knows. He also talks about how Matt Schembechler politely declined an interview request and only told people who have been deceased for many years. The point about a 10 year old going to see a doctor alone appears to be untrue. The claims go against everything Bo stood for - that they are now coming out after he's been dead for almost 15 years and the University has, in the plaintiff lawyers' eyes, low-balled on a settlement - makes the claims highly suspicious.
Please....he is a fucking Bo apologist:Matt wrote: ↑Mon Jun 28, 2021 8:17 pmHe does none of the sort. He does say that it is hard to believe given everything he knows.

But he did know. The broadcaster who came in after getting anally molested FOR MIGRAINES told him. Supposedly he screamed at Canham about that. But then kept him on the staff for years.
After Craig posted the link, I perused several of the first pages of the document (not sure I'll get through the whole thing). Here are some highlights:Bryce wrote: ↑Mon Jun 28, 2021 10:22 pm I haven't followed this story too closely as I don't have a dog in the hunt, but what exactly is the abuse Dr. Anderson is accused of?
Although it isn't current practice, but if I could sue every Doctor that put his finger up my ass over the years, I'd be retired on my own private island right now.
That's when you use common sense to fill in the blanks, Bryce. If you followed UM athletics during that time, you know who was the one man calling the shots. It was Schembechler. Some people have theorized that when Bo had his heart attack before the Rose Bowl, it was Anderson who "saved" him, and he was forever indebted. Others believe Anderson would shoot up his players, or at least clear them to play on Saturdays, that's why he was kept on. But even when Canham left, and despite all the talk about Anderson in the locker room, Bo kept him on the staff.
And using the same thinking logically and without prejudice, the Obama administration spied on the Trump campaign and Covid-19 came out of the lab in Wuhan. Yet here we are....
Right. Because these 3 situations are exactly similar. They virtually mirror each other. Solid point.
