Overview

• Jordan, who coached Ohio State’s wrestling team from 1986 to 1994, has maintained he never knew of Strauss’s misconduct despite multiple former wrestlers saying they reported concerns to him.
• The deposition follows Wednesday’s testimony of former athletic director Andy Geiger, who acknowledged hearing informal reports about Strauss’s inappropriate exams and showering with athletes.
• A 2019 independent Perkins Coie investigation documented nearly 1,500 acts of sexual assault by Strauss and found that coaches and administrators failed to intervene for two decades.
• Ohio State has paid over $60 million in settlements to nearly 300 survivors without admitting liability, and hundreds of federal claims filed by former students remain pending.
• HBO’s documentary “Surviving Ohio State” has intensified public scrutiny by featuring firsthand survivor accounts and renewed calls for accountability.
