I understand what you are saying but let's pretend for a moment that Herman did tip off the reporter. Why did he wait so long? What did he accomplish? It would mean he kept it in his pocket until now.
Isn't that what the timeline would suggest? Would that not make him a rat (in the eyes of Ohio State) versus someone who did the right thing contemporaneously with the abuse. In other words, he covered it up when he was there, then when Ohio State steps on his toes he "rats them out."
