Analysis Summary
Thirty former Ohio State football players have joined lawsuits alleging sexual abuse by Dr. Richard Strauss, a now-deceased campus doctor. The post correctly reports this verified fact from multiple outlets. The second claim—that Jim Jordan 'knew nothing'—is also verified; Jordan has denied knowledge in the public record. However, the post's implication that Jordan 'knew' remains contested. An ex-OSU official testified skepticism of Jordan's denials, but no evidence has been publicly presented proving he knew. The post moves from reporting established facts to making an unverified insinuation, signaled by 'Methinks Jordan knew.'

Jordan has consistently denied knowledge. NBC News reports an ex-OSU official testified he doesn't believe Jordan's denials, confirming the denial exists in the record.
“Jim Jordan knew [about the abuse]”
Post implies Jordan knew. NBC testimony quotes skepticism of his denials but does not establish proof he knew. This remains a contested allegation in ongoing litigation.
