Michigan State Board of Trustees member Mitch Lyons called for MSU President Lou Anna Simon to resign Saturday amid the sexual abuse scandal related to former Michigan State physician Larry Nassar.
While the Michigan State Board of Trustees publicly supported Simon on Friday, Lyons made a statement of his own Saturday, according to ESPN.com's Dan Murphy:
"I do not agree with our statement of support for President Simon. As I expressed repeatedly to fellow board members during our discussion Friday, I don't feel that President Simon can survive the public outcry that has been generated by this tragedy and even less so after hearing the testimony of these brave survivors of Larry Nassar's abuse.
