Sex Abuse Scandal Rocks Penn State

I was talking about their football program, not the university as a whole.


Yes. I have a hatred for corruption and child molestation. My life is happy and I'm a very happy non-angry person. Don't judge me.

You specifically said you hope the whole school goes bankrupt. Why would you want that? Thousands of kids with ZERO to do with this would have their college life ruined, thousands of people would lose jobs...

The only people who should suffer for this are the ones who had knowledge of it and didn't act accordingly. And of course Sandusky. But the truth of the matter is, plenty of people that had nothing to do with the scandal are going to suffer as well, which is a shame.

Why wish bankruptcy on the school??

Penn State Nittany Lions' sex abuse scandal -- Jerry Sandusky was on campus last week, reports say - ESPN (http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/7207465/penn-state-nittany-lions-sex-abuse-scandal-jerry-sandusky-was-campus-last-week-reports-say)

The child molester had access to the school up to last week. I can't wait till they get buried in civil suits. Hope the school goes bankrupt.

I did say that, but I should have clarified my intent. The reason they hid this was to protect the big money football program. It is a shame that many people are going to have to lose their jobs on the football staff over this. (I imagine they'll clean out the whole lot of them at the end of year) I also feel bad for the current football players there. But guess what? None of what they have to go through even touches what those kids and parents have to go through.

Joe Paterno is garbage. All he apparently cared about was wining and setting meaningless records. I wonder if the fcking clowns at the NCAA are going to punish the school the same way they would punish them if the players were getting paid or some such.

I feel bad for all the current players and coaches that had absolutely nothing to do with any of this. There are going to be a lot of innocent people very negatively affected by all the legal crap about to come to down on that school. It's gonna be really, really ugly.

I proposed earlier that Penn State receive a 4 year ban similar to USC. If I recall correctly newer students at USC were given the option to transfer within the FBS without the normal eligibility consequences. I imagine if the banhammer does get laid down that Penn States players would have similar options.

The thing about that is no NCAA violations occurred so I don't see how any sanctions could occur against their football program.

isnt breaking the law an ncaa violation?

EDIT: Withdrawing post: Reread original post - I misread and misapplied it.

It is unfortunate. I would hope that would make the penalty for those who caused the innocent - beyond the actual victims of Sandusky - much much stiffer than mere forced resignation. Joe Pa may have done a world of good during his tenure, but his (and others) actions/non-actions hurt many in the past and will hurt others in the future b/c of the reprecussions.

Just deplorable.

Well I mean lets be honest kids. Giving a young man a Cadillac or paying them a $100 an hour to mow the lawn is much worse then having a major case of pedophilia slip your mind.

What I want to know is whats the deal with the witness. Why did he go to just Joe Pa and University officials? If I was above the age of 10 I would be sure to contact the police.
