OSU to pay about $100 million to settle abuse claims against former campus doctor

Ohio State University reached a preliminary $100 million settlement with roughly 280 former student-athletes who allege sexual abuse by former campus doctor Richard Strauss (1978–1998). The board approved the agreement with all but one of the survivors still pursuing claims, building on prior settlements that totaled over $61 million for 317 survivors. If finalized, the accord could end a lengthy federal lawsuit filed in 2018 and closes a painful chapter for the university; Strauss died in 2005, and independent reviews previously found knowledge of complaints dating back to 1979.

While some teams continued competing on Saturday (including wrestling and basketball), others were held from contests, and the girls’ swimming and diving team was slated for regionals.
