I think there can be an addition to the list of organizations to burn down:

https://deadspin.com/aau-removes-volleyball-coach-rick-butler-following-year-1822940996

quote:

Butler had been accused of having sexual contact with five underage girls, dating back to the 1980s. Two of the accusations were made public in an investigative report by the Chicago Sun-Times that was published in November of last year. Two months after the report was published, Butler was banned permanently by USA Volleyball. He was first banned for life by the sport’s governing body in 1995 for having sexual contact with underage girls, but USA Volleyball partially lifted that ban in 2000, allowing him to return to coaching, but stipulating he could not coach junior teams.

The AAU, however, never imposed any limits on him. One of Butler’s former players, Sarah Powers-Barnhard, who said she was abused by Butler for two years starting when she was 16, sued AAU in 2016 for allowing Butler to continue coaching underage girls.

Wouldn’t that be, in essence, destruction of every American university? I’m not saying no, but we better have a good plan to salvage the decent parts before pulling the trigger.

Lots of universities aren't involved in NCAA division 1, and D3 stuff isn't anywhere near as corrupting, though there surely are abuses anyway.
