Penn State Cult (Joe Knew)

The Cult is not going to like this. A PSU professor emeritus, Ronald A. Smith, has a book coming out early next year that appears as though it will tell THE TRUTH!!! about PSU covering up anything that would make the football program look bad and a program/university that was out of control.

The book previews refer to PSU as a "rogue program" that operated "free of oversight." A preview of the book says that it is a "myth-shattering account of misplaced priorities." Additionally, the previews say "The Sandusky case was far from the first example of illegal behavior related to the football program or the university's attempts to suppress news of it."

Another quote from the preview says, "Smith also details a system that concealed Sandusky's horrific acts just as deftly as it whitewashed years of rules violations, coaching malfeasance, and player crime while Paterno set records and raised hundreds of millions of dollars for the university."

Do any of those "previews" (or whatever you want to call them) state FACT & EVIDENTS or is it just another attempt by Delaney to keep us from winning the B1G?

I wonder if BWI even knows about that book coming out yet. Today is the first time I had seen anything about the upcoming book. I am sure once the book is released, BWI will go into full damage control mode.
I'm sure they will claim he has no real evidence other than the Freeh report and that he has an axe to grind with Paterno, that seems to be the normal course of action.

Rene Portland calls shenanigans. It's never been just football.

Its all about the money, if Georgia offers him $5M or so a year, he is gone and do you blame him?

I work in my home town, but if another company offers me more money, Im out.
Franklin already proved you wrong, Vanderbilt offered him substantially more to stay in their counter-offer to PSU's offer, but he didn't take it and still left for PSU citing that PSU Job was his "dream job" since he grew up in Pennsy a PSU fan.

Our old friend, the Buckhunter, used to abbreviate "Pennsylvania" as Pennsy. Positive ID.

It's so obvious. The book is being published by the University of Illinois press (the same Illinois that tried to poach players when sanctions were announced). Clearly this is all a part of that shitty, midwestern conference's attempts to slander the Great Joe Paterno legacy out of spite and jealousy of the Grand Experiment!

BTW, anyone with an active troll should start a thread about this collection of lies and slanders so that everyone on BWI is forewarned.
