Episode Details

Ohio State University is settling hundreds of sexual abuse claims for nearly $100 million, resolving cases tied to former team physician Dr. Richard Strauss, who abused athletes between 1978 and 1998 — a period the university allegedly failed to stop. Over 280 survivors, including most of those with pending lawsuits, have agreed to the preliminary deal, marking a major step toward justice. Strauss, who also operated an off-campus clinic, died in 2005, and legal action began in 2018. University leaders praised survivors as part of the “Buckeye family” for their courage. While one survivor remains excluded from this phase, the settlement signals a critical commitment to accountability and healing — with final terms still being negotiated.
