Tom Izzo blasted by ESPN OTL reporter for handling of reported sexual assault

Last week, Michigan State doctor Larry Nassar was sentenced to up to 175 years in prison for sexual assault and molestation of over 150 women. On Friday afternoon, Michigan State athletic director Mark Hollis announced his resignation. Just a few hours later, ESPN released a bombshell report saying basketball coach Tom Izzo and football coach Mark Dantonio knew of more sexual assaults involving their players on and off campus and mishandled reporting the incidents to the proper authorities.

Former MSU point guard Travis Walton became a student assistant coach for Izzo during the 2009-10 season, where he reportedly punched a woman in the face at a bar.
