Bill Cosby's long relationship with his beloved Temple University has come to an end, another effect of the scandal engulfing the once adored television star and comedian. 

Cosby's Monday resignation from Temple's board of trustees, a position he held for 32 years, was first reported in the Philadelphia Inquirer. Cosby also attended Temple. 

At least 17 women have spoken publicly accusing the comedian of sexual misconduct, and many of the women say he drugged them before he raped them. Some of the alleged attacks took place decades ago. 

Cosby's attorney, Martin D. Singer, has repeatedly denied the claims. Singer said in a written statement sent to CNN that it defies common sense that "so many people would have said nothing, done nothing, and made no reports to law enforcement or asserted civil claims if they thought they had been assaulted over a span of so many years."

That last point, the one about why the women supposedly assaulted by Cosby did nothing, is the kind of point brought up by an attorney for the accused who knows EXACTLY why the women did nothing.  And in fact might be himself a large part of the reason why they did nothing.

The first time that I gave in and blogged about these allegations, I admitted to all of you that the catalyst for me was the admission of Carla Ferrigno that she had also been victimized.

What I did not reveal at the time was that one of the reasons that I was hesitant to chime in was when former model Janice Dickinson seemed to jump on the bandwagon.

Dickinson as some of you may know is kind of a nutjob. She has lived a rather erratic life, which included many messy affairs, issues with substance abuse, and reality show gigs. And to be honest she has not always come off as the most believable person in the world.

However as it turns out she may be the most believable of all of Cosby's accusers. And that is because of this segment from the Howard Stern Show, where Stern plays a portion of an interview he had with Dickinson in 2006.

I am not the biggest Howard Stern fan in the world by any measure, but I think this segment really provides, not only support for Dickinson's claims, but also a window into how hard it is to accuse such a powerful figure of such despicable acts.
