quote:

don't think it is a football issue per se and not an NCAA issue. Let the courts do their thing.


Alabama had to forfeit an entire seasons worth of games and go on probation simply because they played a player in a bowl game that had signed a contract with an agent a few weeks to early.

Ohio State had to vacate wins and go on probation simply because a few players went to a tatoo parlor and sold their rings and a few memorabilia.

Auburn went on probation because they gave a kid $300 a month, bought him some steaks, and paid some of his car payments.

But......... A Head Football Coach, Athletic Director, and President of a Major University chose not to turn in a known child rapist to proper athorities, because it would damage the reputaion of their football program is not a football issue and is not a NCAA issue.

A Head Football Coach, AD, and University President not only didn't turn in a known child rapist, but continued to allow him free rein of their football facilities and University to execute his crimes. These officials continued to invite this known child rapist to bowl games, to thier suites, and allowed this known child rapist to travel with young boys and didn't blink an eye.

A Head Football Coach, AD, and President allowed a known child rapist use of their football facilities to run football camps for his "charity" that this known child rapist used to find his victims.

These very powerful men allowed a known child rapist to do all these things on their campus and in their facilities for one an only one reason: To maintain the "integrity" of their beloved Football program and University.

But.............. This is not a Football issue.

Damn!!!!!!!!!!

Well said. I don't think the DP is coming for them, but if the NCAA gives them a penalty of some sort, it will be completely justified. Especially in light of the 40 years of sanctimonious horseshite we had to put up with from Paterno; PSU; and now, incredibly, breathlessly, Jay Paterno.

Based on the facts that we know, at least one "football" coach was involved directly with child molestation, more than one "football" coach had knowledge of the molestation, at least one "football" coach witnessed molestation/child rape.

The head "football" coach was not only aware of the crimes, he chose to cover it up and allowed it to continue in order to protect the "football" program.

Acts of molestation and child rape took place in the "football" facilities. And after a "football" coach witnessed the rape and reported it, the pervert was allowed to continue using the "football" facilites to further is heinous activits and to prey on young boys.


Somehow the word "Football" appears way too much througout the above facts for this not to be a Football issue.....

Your post highlights that this isn't a football issue. It is much bigger and more serious than that and should be dealt with by authorities much more serious than a sports governing body.

Acting as if I am condoning the actions of the creeps by claiming this isn't a football issue is asinine and pandering.
