JK. No time to read all of that now. Later though.

why does she have to make things so complicated?

I have only had a chance to read a little bit of it but so far it looks like you've done some great detailed research. Hats off to you, man. You've been doing a great job all over regarding this.

One typo I've caught so far. Not to go all WorldSpartan, but with the hopes that this makes the rounds on the internet some, any proof reading that we all can do would help, I think. Anyway, not a big typo, but just an extra "MSU" in the bullet point about the lawsuit over the FOIA:

"...MSU student-athletes; more specifically, the 2017 lawsuit MSU in which MSU sought declaratory relief..."

nice work - lots of big words in there, though, for tRCMB to absorb. I do appreciate your optimism.

Frankly, it's about time you took your Ephor role seriously.

This is pretty powerful gHost. Very well organized.

Thanks Floyd, I put a lot of work into it and had to stop because, quite frankly, I started heading down the rabbit hole. I was tempted to drive out to East Lansing and camp out there for a few weeks and write an entire book

We could help you out with Amazon reviews.

Camp out? I'm sure you could stay at Mel's.

Ghost 11 - OTPT 2

I’ve read about 3/4 of it. Good stuff this is going to get you internet famous on twitter. I think it is the best point by point resource for debunking the misinformation in the OTL piece.

Also, the intro is strong and easy to read which is good when dealing with short attention spans.

I agree. It should suck in even casual readers.

Fuck that, Nigel. #TeamSwill

Local writers probably owe you some royalties after you just did all their work for them.

Hahaha... thanks Nigel. I appreciate you not being a dick to me for once

It was deleted.

You must have really pissed someone off.

Great work, noticed another typo you may want to fix:

According to Meyers, 34 of the 52 assault and battery cases resulted in a conditional civil infection

pretty sure you meant infraction, not infection.

The swill twitter should have this out ASAP

Oh yeah..... I certainly have LOL

I hope they enjoy reading your work at the top of Page 1 for awhile...

nice catch.

tRCMB is a civil infection. Until you hurt their feelings.. then they become an uncivil infection.

This thread made me think of a rant that a major international soccer coach had toward the media just this weekend (yeah, yeah, soccer sucks, blah blah):

"You don't need that, you don't need that, some people go in that direction, some of them I know for many many years. I know their profile, and I know their surname is Liar."

one editing suggestion: find and replace all "Lavigne"s to: "L'avigne".

And/or switch “Paula” to “Pauline”

I did this on my own, with a little help from my mom, but that's about it. Just me. No interns, no staff, no editors, nothing.....

If there's any errors then please feel free to share your thoughts.

Good stuff. I'm gonna link this to my Facebook page.

Well written and even better researched piece of work gHost.

Larry Nassar timeline:

From the timeline: September 20, 2016 - MSU Dismisses Nassar

Lavigne's (only) book:

Violated: Exposing Rape at Baylor University amid College Football's Sexual Assault Crisis
by Paula Lavigne (Author),‎ Mark Schlabach August 22, 2017 (shows this way on Amazon)

... I'm not sure if August 22 is the actual date of publishing.

Timing no? She just releases a book and is looking for her new "bitch".

How she markets herself on Twitter (shows up under her profile): ESPN investigative reporter. Co-author "Violated: Exposing Rape at Baylor University amid College Football's Sexual Assault Crisis" http://violatedbook.com

I would be curious to put the timeline of her FOIA's and such along the Nassar deal. MSU was probably easy pickings. Two top 10 programs + Nassar = Profit.

I don't know this, but I've kind of held out that MSU has likely done a better than average job on dealing with sexual assault than other D1 schools... simply due to the character of their revenue sport coaches. There are plenty of other known and egregious examples that have come to light (cough, cough Brendan Gibbons) that are worthy of some serious attention.

No doubt. If you get to a "part 3" it might be time for an opinion piece, completely painting an alternative narrative on the motivation of the hit job.

gHost, good stuff. Thanks for taking the time to compile everything.

I think LA really believes in her mission... I also think it has blinded her a bit. So, all of the football/basketball backstory has no corroboration? Single source?
