In pending lawsuits. I don’t think that’s good. That’s not good right?
Note: includes 42 million pending? What do we not know?
As it pertains to Michigan, though:
On Wednesday, the Detroit Free Press reported that 16 former University of Michigan hockey players had filed a federal lawsuit in Detroit alleging years of sexualized hazing inside the program between 1984 and 2001. The plaintiffs, identified only as John Does, allege that coaches knew of the conduct and in some cases required it.
The suit is the latest chapter in Michigan’s six-year run of scandal.
Court filings, NCAA decisions, news reports and university records obtained under the Freedom of Information Act put the bill at $1.15 billion in 2026 dollars, and counting.
The staggering sum dwarfs the scandal bills of the next 19 public universities combined.
Oh, since a lot of us didn’t know what SASE meant (Self-Addressed Stamped Envelope) please know that when you see FOIA in articles, they are referencing the Freedom of Information Act. Just saying.
But, hey, they’ve got the donors to cover it, so why not be dirty and keep winning, right, Michigan?
Cough.
Anyone have insight onto the Georgia number?
I assuming they are including the current lawsuit regarding Devin Willock and Chandler LeCroy. “Pending” is doing a lot of heavy lifting as they say, so I would take all those numbers with a grain of salt – it pretty much renders the “statistic” meaningless…..
Yeah, pending may just mean what’s being claimed.
Laken Riley wrongful death lawsuit. Damon Wilson II Legal Crash, Crowther vs BOard of Regents. Those are pending. There was a recently settled 250K for LBGTQ+ Retaliation suit.
Why Riiey legal tied to athletic dept?
Also – how the hell is Florida not on this list – I mean they had a mass murderer on their football team.
Because that cult would never sue over that sort of thing
Kudos to Indiana for being the only recent “Champ” not on the list.
Got dang. The B1G really has usurped the SEC.
Pretty big drop-off after Michigan and anOSU. But yes, I would assume continuing litigation on the 2022 fatal wreck would have to be the bulk of it. What’s interesting is how low LSU is on that list, considering the level of shit-disturbing they’ve done. Florida and Ole Piss conspicuous by their absence, as well.
Was there some kind of settlement around that shower video surveillance case?
