The old thread on this subject seems to have expired so, to those of you that I debated with for so long, I say, "The faith that I had in Joe Pa was misplaced".

Re: Penn State/ Paterno
Pretty damning findings from the investigation. They were aware of Sandusky preying on young boys for 14 years, and demonstrated no concern for the victims. Pretty sad!

Re: Penn State/ Paterno
Yep, pretty tough to explain away turning a blind eye to pedophillia when Louis Freeh (former Director of the FBI) starts to dig around and find out some things.
My guess is that the investigators haven't heard the whole story, and it's probably even worse than what we've already heard. Sickening.
Can't wait for the JoePa apologists to start backpedaling.
I also can't wait for a lawsuit to crush that entire school. Penn State deserves it.

Re: Penn State/ Paterno
I wanted JoPa to be absolved but it looks like he was in over his head.
Respect for JoPa and Penn State pegged at Zero now.

Re: Penn State/ Paterno
THEY ARE SCREWED.... That entire University is about to pay a VERY big price for what occurred. This WILL be NO doubt the largest lawsuit payed by any edcuational institution when resolved.

Here's the bottom line... they weren't protecting the football program, nor were the protecting PSU. They were looking out for their own self interests!

Xshot,
Very true.... A $90 million dollar plus a year athletic program does make a good backup excuse though

Re: Penn State/ Paterno
If the Paterno apologists and supporters didn't think he was calling the shots on turning his friend Sandusky in they are crazy.
There is also a long history of Paterno NOT cooperating with the State College Police at any level when it would be easy for him to do the right things.He covered up for his football players ALOT.
That comes from former players and LE in State College

Re: Penn State/ Paterno
Maybe integrity and being a man of your word will become vogue again... someday? Paterno is a good example of what happens when both are lacking.

Re: Penn State/ Paterno
Capt. Obvious,
Your right... Its ashame that the tax payers are going to be hit.
I am VERY well versed in TITLE IX as my Phd Dissertation is on it and the compliances/noncompliances of the dear collegue letter.
It will be interesting to see if all unfold.
A little bit of info though.... in all the history of schools violating TITLE IX... there has NOT been ONE single school ever loose its federal funding.
I wonder IF Penn State will be the first?

PennState is not going to tear down Joe Paterno's Statue outside of Beaver Stadium. They're just going to turn it around, So it's "looking the other way".

There's a petition for anyone that thinks Penn St should get the Death Penalty. It sends an email to the NCAA's presidents office with every signature

Re: Penn State/ Paterno
For what they didn't do is awful. But what really gets me is all the other people who knew and did nothing and arent getting shit. Even the janitor saw a kid get rapped said nothing . In fear of his job he kept his mouth shut. He works for the school sees a rap doesn't say anything and it's okay?? He needs fired! They where investigating Sanduski for 7 years... How long do yo let kids get rapped before you step in??? There are a lot of people getting away besides the 4 named...

Re: Penn State/ Paterno
Good start on the penalties. I especially like the fine and taking away Paterno's wins. Can't believe some folks think its to harsh. CLEARLY all these fools are brain washed around here.
.
Also nice that they put it in there that kids currently in the program can leave if they want.
.
Oh an if I didnt mention GO BLUE!

No bowl for four years and loss of twenty scholarships per year during same time, along with the penalties above is almost the death penalty. Coach Paterno was one of the most, IMHO, highly respected college coaches of all time. That this happened on his watch is such a shame. Did he truly know it was happening and just couldn't believe it or did he knowingly cover up to preserve his image? One day, I am sure we may know the truth. How could it take so long to come to light with that many victims? What is going on in other programs across the country? Hell, what is going on with our world? It is a sad and sorry place.
