Unbelievable.

JoePa wanted to win...and IMO he didn't care how. He ran that campus. I had the opportunity to hear the following from a pro agent. He repped some pretty big names, and I am not going to drop his name, but his comment was EVERYTHING, went through Joe Pa at PSU. Joe Pa isn't a victim, he was IMO, an enabler.
($60m fine, 4 year postseason ban, 15 schollies per year, 65 total)
Sounds like Joe Pa should have. He was way too wound up.

Rep for well stated response and for not letting these slimebuckets try to cover up their willingness to sacrifice children to protect their "reputations."
It is fitting that a school that was all about trying to protect a reputation will now be known to all by the reputation for covering up years of henous crime in the name of a football program and a coaches ego.

Wow. With respect to it's handling of child-abusing priests, "The Church has made mistakes -- we've all made mistakes..." I'd like to know what Dr. Berlin thinks is equivalent to pedophilia from the common mistakes made by non-pedophiles.
Got any?
And the bills keep rolling in, hope it ends up costing them way more than this.

$27.6 million so far not including the $60 million fine to the NCAA. Interesting that they have so far spent close to $4 million on legal defense for Spanier and others.
Unfortunately much of the money is coming from insurance so it isn't going to directly hit the school in a way that would make they stand up and pay attention like it should. At the same time I am sure that after this one these insurance policies are going to be written differently for every school making it harder for these scumbuckets to hide behind an insurance policy.
We can also hope that Spanier, Curley, etc. see some jail time although that is far from certain. That would make the schools take notice and less likely to allow something like this in the future.

Hope this doesn't get shoved under the rug and forgotten.
These guys could have saved children from being raped and didn't.

Wut? Todd aligns with the perv Jerry Sandusky?
The culture around the PSU football program wasn't all that unusual. In fact, it was better than most in many aspects related to running a clean program.
The "protect the team and players while giving special treatment" attitude that pervades major college football allows the potential for some nasty stuff -- such as looking the other way and sweeping it under the rug when a pedophile is affiliated with your program. PSU ran its program with more integrity and accountability than most. That's the real scary thing about what happened there.

Did they? Or were they just better at covering things up?
When it comes to integrity they were penny wise and pound foolish. That's super that they didn't text recruits during dead periods and all that, everyone from the top down ignored a monster.
^^^This X1000^^^
So they didn't pay players like the SWC, didn't give kids free T-shirts on recruiting visits, etc. That is really going to help those guys who got raped by Sandusky as kids because PSU didn't want to stain their reputation by turning him over to the court system.

Sandusky is likely to spend the rest of his life in protective custody or in a special block that is entirely made up of sex offenders. His lifespan anywhere else would likely be very short and ugly.
Poignant.
