Pretty much just varied versions of "look the other way because I don't want to know" at PSU.
It is way different than PSU. In the PSU situation, a coach was molesting young boys. No students were involved, there didn't seem to be any real complaints, etc.
MSU is way different. The sexual abuse was by an employee, like PSU, but unlike PSU actual students were being abused (athletes no less), the students made formal complaints that were ignored, etc. In addition, it appears that programs outside of gymnastics also had formal complaints involving sexual misconduct that were ignored including the football program. That is a much closer match for what was going on at Baylor than what was going on at PSU. There just seemed to be a university wide culture at MSU affecting multiple programs, all levels of the administration, etc.
