Marc L. A devastating story about the powerful heads of Ohio State’s legendary athletic program and how they turned a blind eye to mass sexual assault of their athletes just to avoid bad headlines and the disruption of their power and success. A harsh indictment of Congressman Jim Jordan, who clearly knew it was happening but who prioritized his own aspirations for power over protecting Ohio State students from sexual assault. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/01/25 Full Review Rich R The latest in the parade of large institutions protecting predators as long as the institution benefits. Beyond the legal issues, this documentary explores the victimization of male athletes who are perceived to be powerful against those who would harm them. The Ohio State coaches - including Congressman Jim Jordan -- were silent when the abuses were happening and, other than denials, they were silent in the making of this documentary. I hope this program shames them for that decision. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/23/25 Full Review Michael W This crime documentary was really good. The entire crew did a spectacular on telling this story about athletes at OSU being sexually assaulted by the team doctor, Richard Strauss. Strauss was an evil person who abused others and used his power to get away with it for so long. Even the OSU school board knew about this the entire time and did nothing. That shows that their cowards and they're not willing to be held accountable for their actions. The athletes deserve justice and they will get it. If you haven't seen this documentary yet, check it out sometime. Even though it's a very dark story, it's worth watching. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/20/25 Full Review Chadd J This was a fantastic documentary, to think an entire college would let that happen to all of the boys over one doctor is insane. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/19/25 Full Review Penny W I am an Ohio State alum and previous employee. They have a lot cleaning up to do. They need to get Wexner’s name off of buildings and FAIRLY compensate all of Strauss’s victims. Everyone also needs to wake up to the horrors of sexual abuse that happens to all genders, in every corner of the country regardless of socio-economic status. All of those OSU men are heros. They are brave, courageous and survivors. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/18/25 Full Review Audience Member Both very powerful and incredibly sad. Ohio State continues to say all the right things and then at the same time do everything they can to ruthlessly protect the brand at the expense of students it once promised to protect. Dr. Strauss was an evil man, but the institution is taking evil to a whole new level. I’ve thought that Rep. Jim Jordan has looked like he’s aged 20 years in the past five years. His inability to do the right thing when I’m sure that even his family could tell you what the right thing to do would be, haunts him every morning when he looks at himself in the mirror. But then he’s become quite practiced at it hasn’t he? Thank you for bringing this incredible awful story to light. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/18/25 Full Review Read all reviews
