Penn State Cult (Joe Knew)

For those who say that there is not anything the NCAA can do, well, these types of situations will be popping up quite a bit for the next few months as the investigation into Ped State and the Great Enabler continues:

(from this article)

Mr. Paterno was often at the center of conversations related to disciplinary issues in the program, even when it wasn't his place to handle such problems. And according to documents obtained by The Chronicle, administrators at the highest levels made sure he got his way.

Letters and e-mails that one former top Penn State administrator provided to Mr. Freeh's investigators show that Mr. Spanier and Wendell V. Courtney, the university's general counsel, repeatedly intervened on Coach Paterno's behalf in an apparent attempt to quash problems.

One such incident happened in 2007, when six football players were charged with forcing their way into an off-campus apartment and beating up several fellow students. After the university received a police search warrant requesting any documents related to the case, Mr. Courtney removed four letters and memos from a file, claiming the information violated the players' rights to privacy.

In another letter related to the case, Joe Puzycki, Penn State's assistant vice president for student affairs, described how Coach Paterno had a text message sent out to every football player, saying that if any of them went into the student-affairs office to respond to the university's code of conduct complaint in the matter, they would be "thrown off the team." After Mr. Puzycki asked for a copy of that text message, a student said he could not provide it. According to the student, Coach Paterno reportedly said, "if you had a problem with that, you could call him directly."

This second episode was part of the Triponey scandal, where Joe had her forced out since she questioned his role in the discipline of players.

I have said it a couple of times, but the stories I hear from those old PSU guys are starting to come to light, and the current cult is going to be very saddened once it all comes out of the shadows. JoePed was a cruel and stubborn bastard, pure and simple. All he cared about was himself.

Holy [censored]. I usually just read Audibles for my daily (hourly) let's-make-fun-of-penn-state-fans......BWI makes that place seem almost normal. Those people have completely lost all touch with reality.

I've been telling you guys that from the beginning. BWI is where the kicks are, man. They take their retard dials to 11 over there.

And BWI is already up in arms, because they think Freeh should only be investigating the actual child rape incident. Nevermind that this is fair game, because it shows the pattern of willfull dishonesty that was a part of Penn State for years, if not decades. I hope they enjoy the brief amount of time they have left to denounce anyone who says something negative about PSU as a "cheater."

Anywhere with a hint of independent media, and he would have been caught a long time ago. I also think that it reached a point where the ncaa had to live with the monster they created. They looked the other way because Dear Leader served a purpose for the organization. He (or I should say his false image) provided the p.r. response to the Switzer, Miami, Nebraska, Jackie Sherrill shit that went on throughout the 80s and 90s.

Success with Honor

(anyone with the time/energy feel like making a "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" graphic using pictures of Paterno with the caption "success with honor"?"

Amazing. Yup, he's got his priorites straight.

Yeah, THAT'S when they failed you. Not over the past 10, 20 or god-only-knows how many years they've been covering up child abuse......

The issue that doesn't seem to be getting much play..but might be the final catalyst for the NCAA to step in and 'investigate' the football program for LoIC could be the talk about Joe Pa pressuring university officials when it came to punishing football players for rules/conduct violations. When the head of student affairs complains because she feels she has to defer/yield to the football coach when it is time to mete out punishments for football players - there could be consequences for the football program that eclipse the Sandusky cover up when it comes to the NCAA. The Sandusky mess is more of a legal/administration failure that is in a gray area for the NCAA..but dictating student athlete punishments to the head of student affairs seems to strike closer to the intent of the LoIC rules, yes?

If the leaked emails are the full picture and Joe was consulted on the Sandusky matter before the final decision was made..then there could be a pattern of giving way to the football coach, and when considered in concert with the interference cited by Triponey..well LoIC may really be a problem to avoid.

I'm not rooting one way or the other..or suggesting I know what is going to happen..just looking at an angle and thinking it might prove to be bigger for PSU football than the talk it is getting right now. If there is a pattern of university officials deferring to the football coach for disciplinary matters (and I mean more than just consulting..which I think would be appropriate) then that surely must violate their compliance proceedures....which is, then, the very definition of LoIC.

I'm not sure that the ncaa is chomping at the bit to take down JoePed. He was always their answer to everything wrong in college football.

SMU trustees maintained a slush fund to pay players? Look at Joe Paterno.

Barry Switzer? Look at Joe Paterno. Jackie Sherrill? Look at Joe Paterno.

Lawrence Phillips cleared to play for national championship? Look at Joe Paterno.

I'm not counting on anything more from them than the toothless statement they've already released. The adults (AAU, Big Ten Presidents and others) need to clean up this mess.

Don't think the statue is coming down any time in the near future. Paterno would have to be seen by 100K people murdering someone to have that happen. But that's OK because every time an out of state visitor sees it they will remember what happened there.
And the morally bankrupt people who let it happen.
