Oh, I agree. In fact, that's my point. Penn State did not benefit at all from this. They'd have filled the stadium in 2001 even if the story had come out likee it should have. They'd still have recruited well. They still would have made all that money.

That's what makes this even sadder; that Paterno thought he was protecting the program. He wasn't protecting anything. The program would have been fine. He was protecting a pedophile. That's all it was.

Do you REALLY think this shit started in 1998 or 2001? Hell do you think this was the only thing covered up by Pedterno and the assorted cult of inbreds?

The entire Ped State program and University is built on a lie. It's not that the lie is based in reality, it's a lie that THEY believe.

Eradicate it. All of it. The evidence of a cover up not just in the athletic department but in the University itself supports it.

Paterno's legacy is destroyed. The others are likely to go to prison. The program would be in a better state RIGHT NOW had they done the right thing from the beginning. Paterno could have maintained his reputation. The other guys, sans Sandusky, would be free and employed.

How did the lies work?

Joe Paterno is still the all time winningest coach in NCAA D1 history.

I really wonder about two things.

  1. Do they have the guts to take down that fucking statue?
  2. If they do, will the pedtards chain themselves to it, create a human shield and so on?

I hope they do chain themselves to it. The more the better. It'll get rid of some of the other problems in HV when it gets thrown in the landfill...

If the logical end game of the cover-up was to protect the football program, not just Sandusky, then it would seem that the NCAA would logically have a lot to say about what rules were broken.
That would logically lead to a view of Lack of Institutional Control charge. Then something similar to a USC punishment would be the logical conclusion since the NCAA has little experience in ethics/morals charges.
They could let the FBI and state handle that.
The football program would still exist to allow for the support of the other athletic programs and payment to victims.
Players would be allowed to leave without it effecting eligibility.

I seriously doubt the statue will come done. Joe will still be worshiped by most. It will be the "outside " world that views Joe in the full context of allowing a pedophile to continue abusing kids for years.
HV will stay in denial. It's easier for their world view.

If you were right, then the school would be getting their asses kicked in recruiting right now and they'd have no hope of filling the stadium next year. What is coming out now is way worse from a public relations standpoint than what would have happened had they just reported it from the beginning.

Sandusky rapes = bad. Sandusky rapes plus cover-up plus more Sandusky rapes = worse. And yet all of your predictions aren't coming true despite the fact that this is probably the worst thing that has ever happened to a college program.


I'm confident the program would have survived had they done the right thing. They're surviving now. All you're doing is giving credence the Paterno's horrible rationale that he needed to protect the program. He was wrong.

OH1O, I do understand your point. But, as horrible as it is, the Sandusky scandal is only the event that set the ball in motion. The leaks coming from the Freeh report have indicated that athletes were receiving preferential treatment, and that PSU was reluctant to put the proper controls in place to deter NCAA violations from occurring. Of course, this is not news to many of us, but it is the NCAA's business. I predict that NCAA violations will be made public as a result of the Freeh investigation, and the subsequent NCAA investigation that will follow as a result. The NCAA is not going to impose the death penalty as a direct result of Sandusky, or Pedterno's lying to cover for that sick fuck, but they are likely going to look at penalties for the NCAA violations that are sure to be unearthed once the independent investigation is complete.

It's impossible to forecast where ped state would be right now had they done the right thing in 2001. Most likely, paterno would have lost his job. That was right when the tide started to turn against him in public opinion as they had been underperforming on the field for a few seasons and their recruiting was starting to slump. What would have happened next would tell where they'd be now. They could have hired their Jim Tressel or Pete Carroll and won a ton of games. Or, they could have hired a Ron Zook, Rick Niuheisel, or any other schlub and become a coach carousel. Who knows.

Probably they would have hired Urban Meyer. He's always wanted to coach there.
