EAST LANSING -- Michigan State won't face punishment from the NCAA over the actions of Larry Nassar or from the revelations of an ESPN report that detailed multiple sexual assault allegations against football and basketball players and the school's response to those allegations.

A letter sent this week from NCAA Vice President of Enforcement Jonathan F. Duncan to Michigan State athletic director Bill Beekman informed the school that two NCAA reviews have not "substantiated violations of NCAA legislation" and that "it does not appear there is a need for further inquiry."

"We welcome closure in regards to the NCAA inquiry," Beekman said in a statement. "MSU cooperated fully with the inquiry over the past several months and provided all requested documentation and access to key personnel.

Nassar pleaded guilty in November to 10 counts of criminal sexual conduct related to his work as a Michigan State University doctor, which included working with Michigan State athletes. He was sentenced in January to up to 175 years in prison at a hearing during which more than 150 women delivered victim impact statements.

The NCAA sent Michigan State a letter in January opening an inquiry, writing that the sexual assault allegations against Nassar "raise serious concerns about institutional practices, student-athlete safety and the institutions actions to protect individuals from his behavior." The letter requested that the school send any information regarding potential NCAA violations stemming from Nassar's conduct.

Michigan State responded to that letter in March, arguing that while Nassar's conduct was "abhorrent and a violation of every standard of conduct expected", it didn't violate NCAA rules.

The school argued that the bylaw cited by the NCAA in its original letter, regarding schools' commitment to student-athlete well-being, "serves as a guide for Division I members and is not subject to enforcement procedures" and that NCAA "case precedent likewise does not support a finding of an NCAA rule violation by Nassar." It also pointed out that Nassar was never specifically employed by the Michigan State athletic department and worked with athletes on a contract basis.

"In regards to the crimes committed on our campus by Larry Nassar, the NCAA findings do not change a thing," Beekman said. "NCAA member organizations have a specific set of rules to which we hold each other accountable. And while we agree with the NCAA that we did not commit a violation, that does not diminish our commitment to ensure the health, safety and wellness of our student athletes. That pledge permeates everything we do as part of a larger university commitment to making MSU a safer campus.

In addition, the NCAA also conducted a second review, according to the school, following a January ESPN report that detailed allegations of sexual and physical assault made against Michigan State football and men's basketball players and the university's response to those allegations. That review also did not find any NCAA violations.

"As it relates to the handling of student-athlete conduct issues, at Michigan State we are committed to following all appropriate policies and procedures," Beekman said. "Today's findings provide external validation of Mark Dantonio and Tom Izzo and the way they administer their programs. Mark and Tom represent the athletic department and Michigan State University with integrity."

The notice officially closes one of the multiple investigations into Nassar's conduct and the school's response. Michigan State is still being investigated by the Michigan Attorney General's office, in a probe that produced charges this week for former gymnastics coach Kathie Klages for lying to police. Klages was arraigned in Lansing on Thursday.

In addition, the US Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation's subcommittee on Consumer Protection, Product Safety, Insurance and Data Security has been investigating the handling of the Nassar scandal from all angles, including MSU and USAG. The committee has not released any recommendations.
