re: What if Penn St. Situation Happened At Your School?

I would want them to clean house, so to speak. Everyone who was involved in any cover up has to go immediately. Hopefully, this episode with Penn State will become an example that should be remembered with any issue colleges have involving criminal activity whether its pedophilia, rape or any other violent behavior, or drugs.

This. I'm trying to read the Grand Jury Report, but I have to take breaks because I keep getting nauseous.

I don't think I could support Auburn University until everyone that had knowledge of this was fired or in jail. Preferably, all of the above.

In all honesty, my diploma would probably come off the wall along with anything else that had Auburn on it. I would be beyond devestated and embarassed.

What confuses me about this situation is the students that are rallying behind Joe Pa. Either they haven't taken the time to read the Grand Jury report or just don't care about the facts.

He KNEW what happened in 02', and yes he reported it to his superior, but WHY were the police never called? He failed majorly at his moral responsibility to protect that child and future children from this monster.

Joe Paterno can burn in hell for all i care. He didn't give a frick about the victims then, and his refusal to step down right now says he still doesn't give a frick. It's all about Joe frickin Paterno. Selfish, heartless piece of shite......

It is pretty amazing. They had a writer on ESPN who grew up in the town - he was also on Mike & Mike this morning - and he talked about how the town basically is Penn State, everything is about Penn State - and to them Penn State is about football and Joe Paterno. Again, amazing how so many can't step aside and look at this clearly, but this is a micro look at how blinded people can become from their "local color" they are subjected to their entire life.

I've seen this before first-hand and was amazed at how a group of followers would not even listen to logic and defended what they thought was right, even though it was so clear and presented in a way you would think they would have agreed with the truth. But again - most of them were brought up their entire lives thinking one way and had horse-blinders on they could not take off.

Life itself can be that way for a lot of people. They see things the way they want to see them, the way they are used to seeing them, and want to continue to do so. It' will be interesting to see if this continues to this degree in that community/school.

First Thoughts after hearing this let me give Joe P. the benefit of the doubt until I read up on this. Read the indictment, An thought to myself Joe P. is also part of the problem and the Grad. Student that didn't beat the s*** out of the guy in the shower with the boy. He is a coward and scum to look at that boy and to see this and know the child is looking at him for help. dammit I'm pissed!!!

First off, anyone who hurts a child should have their sack ripped off with a pair of channel locks and anyone who knows that children are being hurt and are doing nothing to stop it should endure the same.

I'm not sure i could support the school again, this isnt somthing like paying a player or some random violation of ncaa rules, this is a serious crime against children over many years.

I really dont know how i would react to it, i really feel for the fans of Penn St, this wont go away soon nor should it.

I would want the entire administration and coaching staff gone. I would rather lose than do what PSU is doing.

Here's a link to the indictment if you want to read the gory details and who all was implicated. It's pretty sickening.
