This is a long time from being over. Those who knew in authority and either ignored or covered it up are next to be charged and tried. I wonder if the nc2a will let all of that play out first or will just let the courts handle it. The once squeaky clean program now has the ugliest cloud hanging over it and it will remain maybe forever.
Penn St is looking at another ten years' worth of non stop civil litigation and monetary penalties to various organizations. They should just disband the school.
I hate to talk bad about the dead but in this case I will make an exception. Wasn’t it coach “P” who sat up there on his high horse and talked down OU and how corrupt we were back then? Didn’t he have nothing but bad to say about us and our coach? Isn’t it something how karma is a bee-a-tch sometimes? RIP Penn St when you get through with all the litigation coming your way you won’t be able to buy soap for the showers much less field a football team.
In the Orange Bowl when OU beat Penn st. After Carr's TD run and it was a sure thing that OU was going to win NBC spent the next 45 minutes telling us what a great guy Paterno was instead of congratulating OU.
Paterno was no better than any other coach. Switzer went into poor young men's homes and offered them a way to better themselves just like Paterno did. The only difference was that Switzer wasn't a PR machine and was just open and honest where as Paterno was a manufactured character. I truly hated paterno long before that but that cemented it. I didn't not shed a tear when he had to resign.
More sadness about human nature. The people in control, we're so invested in the image, they let the image become more important than people.
I know Paterno was guilty of not caring enough, to see what was happening. It is sad when a human misses that their kingdom(Joe Pa's image and his position in his history- legacy) has become more important than kid's safety, or really anything else.
Paterno hurt those kids, by not doing enough to stop it. There are others guilty as well.
But I am more sad about it than mad. Being mad is a reasonable response, I get it.
But if it can happen at Penn St, where else is it happening, and they haven't been caught it yet?
They said that animal would not be in the general population of the prison, thats unfortunate. Hopefully the guards will let jethro or leroy come & visit often!

It can happen anywhere and at any time where being politically correct is more important than being morally correct. When we hold how we are viewed in the eyes of man more important than how we are viewed in the eyes of the Lord. It can happen when we strive harder for our homes and possessions on earth than we do for our future home in heaven. The road to depravity is paved with all these things.
That is the wisest thing outside of football I have heard anyone say on these boards. Absolute, unchangeable, non-wavering, no negotiating TRUTH.... Whether we choose to embrace it & heed to it or not! That bro will preach!
