TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) Administrators at Ohio State University should release the names of all coaches, trainers and personnel who knew of but failed to act on complaints about a now-dead team doctor who sexually abused male students for nearly two decades, said attorneys for some of the victims.
They also are calling on the university to give them a specific plan by June that shows how Ohio State will deal with future sexual abuse allegations and how it will make sure this never happens again.
The attorneys, who represent nearly 60 men who say they were abused by Dr. Richard Strauss, want Ohio State to reveal more about what it knows, including details about his work with high school athletes and at summer camps run by the school.
Those demands are in response to a report released Friday that found Strauss sexually abused at least 177 male students from the 1970s through the 1990s. They included athletes from at least 16 sports at Ohio State as well as students treated at the campus health center and his clinic near the university.

The Richard Strauss Investigation And What's Next
An independent investigation has found that former Ohio State physician Richard Strauss sexually abused at least 177 male students between 1979 and 1997. The report showed that university officials did nothing to address a raft of complaints. Strauss took his own life in 2005. Today on All Sides, the Strauss investigation and what's next for the victims and University.

snip--"The report says 22 coaches confirmed they were aware of rumors or complaints about Strauss. But investigators couldnt make conclusive determinations about what each individual coach knew at the time."
I will say that the radio station is doing quite a bit on reporting on this.

A bit like Jerry Falwell Jr was a couple of weeks back - of course Cohen had pictures of him entertaining the pool boy with his wife.
