MSU Red Cedar Message Board

Thanks. I read an article where the author felt if the NCAA looked into it, they either drop it or give them the death penalty. Nothing in between. His rationing was how are tats and a buying a house for some kid's mom even close to being on the same level as allowing child rape on your campus? He makes a good point. Something like this--if everything talked about is detailed in the report--goes WAAAYYY beyond a couple of scholies and 2-3 years probation. No matter what PSU says, the coverup was made to save the football program embarrassment. The football program should pay, dearly.

In addition to what is posted above, it is no one's fault but those that were in charge at PSU that Joe Paterno was so incredibly powerful. EVERYONE knew it and they stood by and let it happen. This just validates all those jokes over the years and confirms that Joe Paterno was a completely untouchable individual and when your football coach is untouchable, even to the administration, ya, you've lost institutional control.

Bump...Freeh report tomorrow.

Justice will not be served...but hopefully the exposure will help future potential victims

Isn't that the best we can hope for?.

I don't know. A former FBI director doesn't do his rep any good by giving a pass to a football program. Besides, this guy bit the hand that fed him while an FBI director, so I don't think he'll pull punches here. Could be wrong, but, hopefully, the victims are the "winners."

They gone!

From the report

The most powerful men at Penn State failed to take any steps for 14 years to protect the children who Sandusky victimized," Freeh said. "Messrs. Spanier, Schultz, Paterno and Curley never demonstrated, through actions or words, any concern for the safety and well-being of Sandusky’s victims until after Sandusky’s arrest."

God... Fletch was right..

This is pretty damning. All for a game of football and $$.

Speaking of twisted views.. You're not in charge of those committing genocides, are you? You have no means in which to stop what is happening in Africa. These were employees of the school and supervisors of those that helped cover up child molestation. They knew what was going on on their property and they had every chance to make a freaking phone call to the cops. They CHOSE to act like it never happened and then conspire to cover it up.

That is the difference.

The B1G CANNOT sit idly by and allow this monstrous administration to be part of the Conference.

I'm not sure Delaney can do anything about booting a school out of the conference, I would think that is more of the presidents of the universities decision, or whoever votes on letting a school in. Delaney is just the AD for the B1G, what real power would he have in this situation? He can't just stop scheduling them. Sports may be what drives the majority of the decision in allowing a school into the B1G, but it isn't the only deciding factor.

I think people are misinterpreting what I'm saying; it was more a metaphysical question about how to define "evil." Jesus, I'm not defending the assclowns, and I can't wait to see them in prison. And of course, you nailed it; condemning someone as evil requires that they INTENTIONALLY choose to do something: in this case, ignore their requirements under the law in order to protect a friend and their institution.
