Former Athletes, Students Call for NCAA, Big Ten to Investigate Ohio State's Handling of Sexual Abuse Accusations Against Former Doctor Richard Strauss

A group of nearly 200 former Ohio State athletes and students want the NCAA and Big Ten to investigate how the university handled sexual abuse accusations against former doctor Richard Strauss.

In a news release on Wednesday afternoon, that group of survivors of Strauss' abuse announced it is submitting letters to the NCAA and Big Ten to launch an investigation into the university, believing that the university has continued to fail to take accountability for Strauss' sexual abuse.

“We have given OSU more than two years to make this right. But all they have done is shamefully re-traumatize these victims through delay tactics and broken promises,” said Robert Allard, an attorney representing some of Strauss' victims, in a statement provided to Eleven Warriors.
