Penn State Cult (Joe Knew)

[VBSJ]

I can't wait til tomorrow

You might be disappointed, honestly.

Same organization that changes the rules on the fly for Cam Newton. It's a paper-tiger organization.

Let's not get hung up on "unprecedented." That doesn't necessarily mean "worse than anything else." It just means they haven't done "this" before.

Could be requiring PSU brass to perform tremendous amounts of community service work.

The Audibles board on Scout is like reading David Koresh's followers before...

At this point, the only penalty that would be "unprecedented" in kind would be kicking Penn State out of the NCAA altogether. This punishment would actually be warranted, because although the scandal concerned the football program, it was covered up by the top school administrators. Kicking Ped State out of the NCAA for a period of years would rightfully punish the entire school, and especially the football program.

If the penalties are merely "unprecedented" in scope, then how about no football scholarships (i.e. walk-ons only) for a period of five years. A fate worse than death?

Not service, but I was thinking the NCAA would force the program to donate all profit to child abuse organizations for a period of time, also "unprecedented" by the NCAA.

This isn't going to be like SMU or anything. It's just Emmert grandstanding.

Not sure how they'd do that one. I'm thinking they'd either ban them from the NCAA for a number of years (easier thing to do, I'm thinking), or something else that affects the entire school, not just the sports program.

Either way, they're getting ready to get hit in their wallets hard, I'm hoping.

This would seem more appropriate.

Was reading the yahoo article on the NCAA decision coming out tomorrow, and this was the first comment:

Now it looks like the Paterno family is going to need to fund their own independent investigation into the Freeh report and the NCAA's upcoming findings.

Drop them and add another team ASAP B1G

PSU football contra mundum has to be the mentality of this
year's team! For once this is an attitude that really fits the description of what these kids and coaches are up against. Yeah guys, it really will be you against the world, the 300 Spartans, the British at Rorke's Drift, and the Marines fighting retreat down the Korean peninsula ("Retreat hell! We're advancing to the rear." was the famous declaration of the general in charge.)

The emotions of the world are stacked against them. Never in college sports will a team have to pull together more in the face of so much adversity. This is one team you can't ever criticize for their play on the field, and that goes for McGloin. Real supporters of this football team will have to grit their teeth when things on wrong on the field. These kids and coaches, especially these kids, need 100% support no matter the outcome on the field!!!!!!!

I'm sure they'll have as much success finding out who REALLY turned a blind eye to the abuse as OJ did finding the REAL killer.

 

[Thump]

This isn't going to be like SMU or anything.

It should be, this is MUCH worse.

 

[VBSJ]

Paterno's name will be stricken from the record books. That would also be unprecedented.

I wonder if BTN will show any press conference Monday or will it be the 2011 Ohio State-TSUN game for the 111th time?

Actually, BTN took its criticism for the Freeh Report and seems to have changed its stance (hence showing the statue being taken down).

They're starting to eat their wounded over there....

Re: The beginning of the end, Joe's statue being removed

This would be the best course at this time IMO.

If PSU suspends football for one season and petitions the NCAA to allow the players to transfer if they wanted that would truly show intent that the culture at PSU is undergoing a real and tangible change from the top down.

As I said above - perceptions, along with real proactive decisionmaking of course, may stave off some drastic and negative things in PSU's future.

Wow. A Ped Stater with a brain. How do you think THAT one was answered?

Re: The beginning of the end, Joe's statue being removed

Picture me saying this slowly so thick skulled Pitt fans like yourself can get it: NO VIOLATIONS! PSU does not need to make a culture change. Despite the media's narrative
it was not a football problem.
