Fellow ESPNer Nicole Noren went after Herbstreit with a link to an ESPN story highlighting Tom Izzo not being held accountable for his handling of Travis Walton’sexualul assault allegations:
Thanks Kirk. We also look forward to the follow-up stories we’re working on about holding education officials accountable in regards to reports of violence against women.

Herbstreit:
I've seen some strong reactions to my now deleted tweet about MSU. I apologize for the unnecessary dig at the reporters who worked hard on an important story.
