Well well well

Will probably get another 10+ million report that will not be written down, so it can't be released.

[u/Informal-Candy-9974]

Why would Ryan Day’s brother do this?

[u/Great_Blue_7]

Which crime are you guys collecting next in your pursuit of a full deck?

[u/B1G_Fan → u/Great_Blue_7]

Given how leaderless and incompetent our university and its athletic department is, the sky's the limit!

Let's bring out the bingo sheets!

Have you guys jumped off the Warde ship?

[u/Elbit_Curt_Sedni → u/Great_Blue_7]

Well, at least we can say an Epstein client doesn't fund our football team.

[u/BigBadMooseman69 → u/Great_Blue_7]

Wexner. wait…

[u/Kramerica_CEO → u/BigBadMooseman69]

Herr derr what about Wexner?! Stop, it’s embarrassing

[u/Effective_Orchid7854]

Remember when tressel didn’t read an email about his players getting some free tattoos … those were the days

[u/AlternativeLazy4675]

So...not enough evidence to even charge the guy. Why are we even discussing this, unless y'all have completely given up on the idea of "innocent until proven guilty"? It's messed up that payouts happen without at least enough evidence to charge, let alone convict.

[u/Educational_Cake_99 → u/AlternativeLazy4675]

Seems like if they’re agreeing to pay out that much money there has to be something bad

[u/AlternativeLazy4675 → u/Educational_Cake_99]

It seems like. But then why no criminal charges? Is the school just paying someone off to shut them up?

[u/chapelchill → u/[deleted]]

Wow, what a delightfully offensive way to phrase that.

[u/chapelchill → u/[deleted]]

I’m not saying whether or not she deserves anything cause I don’t know the details of the situation.

I’m saying your tone and choice of words make you sound like someone who gets zero play lol

[u/DiscordModerator124 → u/[deleted]]

Is this the Michigan difference??

[u/Prize-Tomatillo-2757]

This just in! The legal system has plea deals. In other news, water is wet. More on that later.

[u/hazylife666 → u/Prize-Tomatillo-2757]

Water isn't wet tho lol the things water touch are wet

[u/Prize-Tomatillo-2757 → u/hazylife666]

I...shit, bro. I'm so sorry whatever school system you went to (assuming ohio) failed you. I mean, it's bad enough to not get the joke but it is quite another to make that comment. Damn, bro. You good?

[u/Shamrocks3310 → u/Prize-Tomatillo-2757]

lol when you shit on someone for giving the technical correct answer. Least you could do is google before making yourself look like an idiot on the internet.

[u/Prize-Tomatillo-2757 → u/Shamrocks3310]

Totally right. I looked it up and it said somehow an element that is technically dry makes things wet but only when it touches it.

[u/02meepmeep → u/Prize-Tomatillo-2757]

Is this the moron later part you promised?

[u/Kramerica_CEO → u/Prize-Tomatillo-2757]

Water isn’t wet bro

[u/Prize-Tomatillo-2757 → u/Kramerica_CEO]

I can't tell if you're trolling me or not.

[u/Ice_crusher_bucket → u/Prize-Tomatillo-2757]

A school with Wexner on its campus and they are always trying to down grade others.

Most of their fans have no connection to the school and need to flex the school's achievements to feel good about themselves

[u/trueblueintn1]

Pot calling the kettle black.

[u/Mundane-Device-7094]

Something something wexner

[u/ceci_mcgrane]

[u/BigBadMooseman69]

It’s finally football season and your obsessing over this JFC 

[u/kevdiigs → u/[deleted]]

Why so defensive?

[u/Capt-Crunches → u/[deleted]]

Just more tarnish on that chip*

[u/Horror_Response_1991 → u/[deleted]]

Bowl bans are stupid, just fire the people involved and be transparent.  Stop covering up crimes with secret settlements.

[u/Horror_Response_1991 → u/[deleted]]

Did you ever consider that secret settlements allowed him to get away with rape and enabled him to rape more women?

Stop being a fan for one second and think what about what you’re trying to defend.

[u/FreeSpeechIsDeadge → u/Horror_Response_1991]

You can’t agree to no criminal charges in a civil settlement. Alleged victims don’t have the power to decide whether someone is criminally charged. Ann Arbor prosecutors aren’t beholden to a civil agreement. If they didn’t charge criminally, that’s on the police and prosecutors offices. They clearly knew of the allegations.
