Sorry for yet another thread on this and I'm certainly not trying to "pile on", for there's plenty enough being said about this everywhere else. But this is something I want to know from you PSU folks. If it were some kind of cheating scandal or something I think he'd still get his due. But this case is really, really bad. My question is: What are you guys thinking about in picking up the pieces and moving forward? I've thought about it and tried to imagine if that had happened at my beloved program and I really just don't know. I've been a Bama fan my whole life and it's all I know. But I imagine it would be difficult for me to proudly wave a flag in support after such events. One big tragedy outside of the actual victims is the fact that this is hung on PSU, a university with hundreds of thousands of proud grads and millions of fans; all by a few complicit individuals. This is just devastating and very, very sad. I feel for you guys and hope the best for all the innocent that are caught up in this.

There's about 9k staff and 95k students in the PSU system. |

Before anyone piles onto Penn State (in its entirety) they should ask themselves, given the identical situation, at how many other institutions would this have played out more or less the same. Football is big bidnez.

I went to Pitt for undergrad, and Pitt traditionally hates Penn State.
That being said, Pitt has (or had) the most criminals as 'student athletes' according to SI In a span between mid-July and late September, four players were arrested for four separate, violent crimes.
First, senior defensive end Jabaal Sheard was charged with aggravated assault and resisting arrest after allegedly throwing a man through the glass door of an art gallery. Authorities told SI that even after an officer arrived on the scene, Sheard continued to punch the victim in the face as he lay on his back, bleeding. Sheard was suspended from the team. But after pleading guilty to a reduced charge of disorderly conduct on Aug. 4, 2010, he was reinstated for the 2010 season. In an interview last month, former Pitt coach Dave Wannstedt, who resigned after his team finished a disappointing 8-5, defended Sheard, saying he was just trying to come to the aid of another player and break up a fight. On Sept. 12, redshirt freshman running back Jason Douglas was charged with aggravated assault by vehicle while driving under the influence. According to court records, Douglas hit a male pedestrian, whom police found lying in the street, bleeding from open wounds to his head and throat. As Douglas was handcuffed he said: "Hey I play for Pitt football ... please don't arrest me." He was suspended from the team and has pleaded not guilty. On Sept. 18, sophomore offensive lineman Keith Coleman was charged with aggravated assault and harassment. Police records indicate that in an incident on the street near the Pitt campus he beat up one man and body slammed another who attempted to intervene. One of the victims was treated for a broken shoulder. Coleman was suspended indefinitely. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges and is awaiting trial. Finally on Sept. 22, police responded to a 911 call reporting that a man was choking a woman at Chatham University in Pittsburgh. Officers found Donna Turner bent over on a porch, crying and vomiting. She identified her attacker as Jeffrey Knox, a freshman defensive back at Pitt. "Knox ... open handed slapped Turner in the head with such force that she was thrown to the ground," the police report states. "Knox then jumped on her, grabbed her by the throat, picked her up by her throat and slammed her head into the wall. He held her against the wall, continuing to choke her." When two female witnesses tried pulling Knox off Turner, he allegedly threw punches at them and knocked them down. He then left the scene before authorities arrived. A day later, Knox was dismissed from the team after being charged with assault and reckless endangerment. Penn State was also on that list, along with Oklahome, Ohio State, Florida, Florida State, Miami, Alabama, USC, Georgia Tech, Texas and others (they only listed the Top 25) but Pitt was in its own universe. Why do they tolerate this? In Pitt's case, the Golden Panthers (alumni) pay zillions to their alma mater, and TV continues to pay for televising rights. ANYTHING TO WIN. It's the fundamental moral failing of the school that permits this crap to go on. To make it worse, these schools usually get state funding. Back on topic, I did not go to Penn State, know people who did, and have been to State College for various functions over the years. It's a nice place with for the large part decent people. They do need wholesale house cleaning, and it will take some time, but they will rebuild. It might provide a little better balance to life, and get people weaned from the obsession with sports, that is proving to be less than healthy in many ways. Blame the perp first, then the enablers. Don't hang this on the students. JMO |

I've been a PSU fan all my life. Check my new (temporary) avatar for my feeling on the matter. I would not be surprised if PSU forfeited the remainder of the season and the NCAA issued a death penalty before next season starts. I would not be surprised if it were cheaper to demolish Beaver Stadium than to maintain it for as long as it would take to have another game played there. Convert the other football facilities to other purposes. Tear down the Joe Pa statue. Rename the library. If PSU football is going to continue to exist, the ENTIRE coaching staff needs to be replaced ASAP. |

Overlooking the hurting of a child for any reason including a football program, tradition, reputation, religion, family ties, money, etc. is horribly wrong.
Whoever had knowledge of what was going on, any knowledge at all, should have been screaming to the heavens and everyone and anyone who would listen until those responsible were dealt with by the law. I don't care that he is a beloved old man, I don't care that he is a legendary football coach, HE DIDNT DO ENOUGH. And he even said as much. Everyone who didn't do enough should be dealt with harshly. Those who defend him are those that likely would overlook this same thing by coming up with rational excuses. You either did enough or you didn't do enough. There is no gray area here. There is right and wrong. It's pathetic that people want to defend these people that had full knowledge of what was going on and what was happening. You should be ashamed of yourselves. I hope anyone who allows the hurting of child by looking the other way and not doing enough burns in hell just like the person who did the hurting. Yeah I am venting, but I have deep and warranted feelings on this subject matter. |
| Why are people more angry with Joe Paterno than the guy who actually did the deed? I don't get it, but some people love to let their emotions run wild in situations like this. I'm more angry with the athletic coordinator and the guy who actually did it than I am with Joe Paterno. |

This police investigation was YEARS in the making... and yet nothing came to light until the week AFTER Paterno got his 409th win!?? Oh just pure coincidence.... yeah, right! It is OBVIOUS that this was covered-up for a LONG time - just so that "JoePa"  could get his place in history, because everyone knows that as soon as this story became public - Paterno would HAVE to go because he ENABLED a kiddie-rapist to keep preying on kids. And now Penn students are rioting at his firing, even though he ADMITTED he was wrong and he resigned because of his involvement in this sick scandal. That's not rational, that's just a sick devotion to Paterno as a cult-figure and more evidence that Penn State is a cult, and Paterno is the leader. |

What I'm wondering is why they're not rioting over the fact that this was COVERED-UP for so long to save Paterno and his reputation!? |

I dont see them forfeiting the rest of the season..........the players didnt do anything wrong, but will suffer just the same. The NCAA is a different matter altogether, but as for the Death Penalty, I dont see that either............sanctions of some sort, possibly. I believe "LOI" was tossed around by some on ESPN. PSU football will take a looooong time to recover from this mess, but they will in time. But I would not doubt a thorough house cleaning takes place at the end of the season

Be real men and place the wellfare and future wellbeing over that of an assistant coach. The fact that so many decided that one pedarests career is more important than the reputation of an entire university speaks volumes as to how straight their priorities were. |

JoePa brought him back to help coach the defense and then in the 70's assisted him (along with Sue) in setting up The Second Mile. Every who was around the PSU football program from 1963 through 1998 saw this man and knew that there was something "different". People who bleed PSU Blue better pray that the Commonwealth does not bring out the Long Knives. I do not think it will end at 9 boys. |

Even given Sandusky's entire life as a child molester, nobody is more guilty than the perpetrator himself. Child molesters are often not considered "different". More often than not, when a child molester is discovered and outed the majority of family members, friends, acquaintances, co-workers and neighbors are shocked by the allegations. "He was such a nice man, and a great little league coach." It's very rare that a child molester is discovered and outed that the entire community says "I knew there was something wrong with that weirdo." These people dedicate their lives to deceiving the world. Of course, that doesn't mitigate the guilt of anyone that did know, or even suspected, what kind of monster Sandusky really was. It appears as though there were well documented allegations as early as 1994, and I'd be surprised if there weren't others earlier than that. Paterno was the person most likely to hear these rumors and allegations, and he failed miserably with his response. |
