No amount of rivalry hatred could lead me to look at Michigan or Wisconsin in this light. No amount of SECtard football first nonsense could compare with how Pedd State let football rule the university. No amount of domer self-righteousness could compare with Pedd State's view of itself in the mirror.
Here's their response to the Wall Street Journal article.
That place was a hell of a lot more similar to Jim Jones' (JimJo's) compound in Guyana than to a respectable university community.

Vicky Triponey, the former (and disgraced) Vice President for Student Affairs at Penn State,
ESPN?s Outside the Lines famously questioned Paterno?s willingness to control his players in a segment that aired three-and-a-half years ago, even citing the same Vicky Triponey and her power struggle with the coach
Gatormaniac;2043994; said:It's quite possible - there was an earlier story about Penn State campus cops investigating football players for harassing Sandusky, wasn't there?
There has been chatter about former Penn State linebacker Dan Connor and a 2005 incident where he was suspended three games for what were considered vulgar prank phone calls over a couple months to a former PSU assistant coach. Initial reports said the former assistant did not want his name used, but reporters eventually found out his initials were J.S. Of course us conspiracy theorists thought Jerry Sandusky. Nope, Joe Sarra. Connor sent these tweets today.

Host Ira Glass revisits some interviews done with Penn State students in 2009, long before the sex abuse scandal that's engulfed the football team and led to the resignation of its legendary coach, as well as the university's President. Back in 2009, students said that the best thing about Penn State football is the high moral standard upheld by the team and its coaches.
Interviewer: "What's surprising me is that you guys aren't cynical about the Univeristy at all."
Student: "There's nothing to be cynical about. They deal with every situtation perfectly!"
Penn State has purchased some Internet domains to block usage by the porn industry prior to the ongoing child sex-abuse scandal that has rocked the university.
Penn State spokesman Jeffrey Hermann said the university purchased four .xxx domains -- Penn State, PSU, Nittany Lions and The Pennsylvania State University -- or the most popular of its federally registered trademarks.

When Mike McQueary told Joe Paterno in 2002 that he'd seen Jerry Sandusky raping a 10-year-old boy in the shower, Paterno was in business with longtime Second Mile board chairman Robert Poole to build a $125 million luxury retirement community called "The Village at Penn State." The development group had just secured financing and was filing for building permits and beginning to market units when McQueary approached Paterno, according to The Daily's Sarah Ryley.

When Days of Our Lives was cancelled earlier this year, the show had been on the air for 45 years, and the relationships between its characters were not as depravedly convoluted as those in Pedsylvania.Poole...runs Poole Anderson Construction, one of the biggest independent contractors employed by Penn State. In 2009 and 2010, Poole's company received $25,091,245 from PSU. His company is also the construction manager for the $11.5 million "Center for Excellence," a Second Mile project that had long been a dream of Sandusky's and was to be financed in part by a $3 million state grant approved by Gov. Tom Corbett, who was the attorney general who oversaw the investigation of Sandusky. (To note: Poole gave $9,133.34 to Corbett's gubernatorial campaign. He also raised money for Leslie Dutchcot, the district judge and Second Mile volunteer who let Sandusky out of jail on unsecured $100,000 bail.)

Thinking that too. They want this to end before it goes further.I'm absolutely convinced that the Penn State/Happy Valley power structure keeps letting him out in the hopes that he kills himself before the public criminal and civil cases start. I just can't think of any other possible explanation.
