I've heard about them going after the Karoly's, USA gymnastics and even the MSU female coach (can't remember name), but MSU seems to have be teflon coated. There was a national news broadcast that I saw about Nassar--it went on for a full 2-3 minutes and not once mentioned MSU.

I admire your passion Wendy, but does it matter anymore? We were right and have definitively lost. What's the endgame now?
No they got some and other additional amounts were contested by PMA who won the court case, but rather than deal with a PSU appeal, they negotiated a settlement of the disputed amount of which PSU probably got very little.
I see to remember it being in the $2-2.5MM range, which is extraordinarily pathetic, especially when you tack on the additional attorney fees and negative publicity.
Very nicely done, Nellie….great avatar and accompanying story.
Thanks for the chronicle on Nellie Bly.

A Daring Pursuit
Thanks to such novels as Around the World in 80 Days, Jules Verne (1828-1905) was once one of the world’s most popular writers. In addition to stage adaptations and movies, that book about Phileas Fogg’s journey inspired a fearless reporter to take one of the great trips of the 19th century. Reporter Elizabeth Jane Cochrane, better known by her pen name Nellie Bly, told her editor at the New York World newspaper that she could beat that accomplishment. She said 75 days would be enough. The editor balked. A young woman would need a chaperone and many trunks for such an extended trip. Bly finally persuaded him that she could handle it on her own—and without any trunks. On November 14, 1889, she set sail for London. Here are some photographs from her journey. She traveled without a camera or photographer, so these photos illustrate what some of her journey would have looked like, more than 125 years ago.

I saw the picture of Nellie Bly earlier today when I was in Internet explorer and recognized it as your avatar then read the history...cool
Look I love Joe and am certain he got unfairly treated in all of this. But he had cancer and it wasn't a trivial case either. I do not put his death on anything other than the cancer.
