The penalties destroyed Joe Ped's legacy (as they should have), but the football program will recover from this slap on the wrist fairly quickly.

I agree. Pennsylvania has great high school football that will supply decent walkons who want to play for the state college and get an excellent education. They can schedule a bunch of pansies like they used to.
Will the culture change? I have my doubts. Notice they aren't melting down the statue!

Can schedule a bunch of pansies? I think they already well on their way to having that covered.

Re: BREAKING: Erickson's Response - complete text inside.Reply As a former district attorney with 8 yrs of experience and CYS solicitor with 40 yrs experience I offer some observations:...Paterno, Curley, Schultz and particularly Spanier handled the 2001 shower incident with alarming malfeasance and incompetence to say nothing of failing to stem the harm to that unfortunate young victim of sandusky's predacious behavior....institutional arrogance is evident, and now the University, it's alumni, taxpayers, students, and athletic teams all will pay an enormous price for the incredibly outrageous failures of the gang of four..but there is much blame to go around...consider teh incompetent advice of cynthia baldwin, the former supreme court justice, who advised gainst barring sandusky from utiling the university facilities...on the basis that the University would have violated its retirement agreement with him...however, in my view all of the failings were outside the purview of the football program. the freeh report was incredibly sophomoric in style and substance and drew conclusions that in my view were reaches and in fact speculative, ie that the efforts of the 4 aforementioned individuals acted out of motives to save the football program its revered theretofore staus as clean...no i think it's clear the men were attempting to avoid harming sandusky, and under the circumstances of his supposed interests in needy children, ie the second mile just couldt believe that sandusky had sexually abused the 2001 victim...yes, im aware of the 1998 incident, but it was "cleared" by the da's office as well as CYS. Finally and most importantly if the primary motive in failing to act, as those men certainly assuredly abjectly failed, the failures were not attendant to the football program, but rather institutionally pertaining to the University!! Yes, the failures included coach paterno and the AD, but the offender was a former coach with no connection to the football program in 2001! rodney erickson is an incredibly incompetent individual to not fight for the rights of the University, its students its faculty and its alumni...to concur with the NCAA's penalties without a wimper is absolutely disgusting and egregious! i was a scholarship baseball player many years ago and greatly respected my University and to see it ripped apart at the fabric, by the incompetents aforementioned is saddening. 2 of my 3 children attended and graduated from Penn Stae and now feel as i do, that we all have been visited witha mea culpa, which just doesnt quite fit under all of the facts and circumstances...

I have worked with some brilliant people who have their PhD who would lose to 4th graders in a spelling bee. Spelling is really not an indicator of intelligence.

What it is, to me, is an indicator of a lack of professionalism and attention to detail, which I certainly would hope someone who self proclaims to be a district attorney and solicitor would have.

She's sad? Imagine if Jerry Sandusky was forcing himself into that mouth, because that is the shit that Penn State covered up for 13 years. I saw her interview, and it was like the rest of them. No one wants to accept that they all individually added to the collective environment that made Joe Pa revered as above the moral decay in college sports.

Not one single person said, "I hope, in some way, this lets the victims know that even though they feel alone, we stand as a group to support them." Every single one of them was like, "Boo hoo, my college experience is ruined because teh football team is bad."

I know what it was like to go to OSU when the football was AWESOME. And you know what? Even though we went 4-0 against Michigan while I was there, those memories are mostly gone. Who gives a shit?!?! It is football. It is 3 hours, 12-14 weekends out of the year. For those of you who know how it feels to have a deep, permanent mental scar, it pales in comparison.

I don't want you guys to think I am on my moral high horse. If this happened at OSU, I would want the whole thing shut down until there was some humility among the OSU football community. Even tattoo-gate made me rethink how I view college football. I love it, and it is a lot of fun, but it is not worth the sacrifice of integrity that often accompanies big time athletics.

I am rambling, so I'll stop now. I am disappointed in Penn St, because the RESPONSE to all of this is what has truly tarnished them. All the leaders did could not have hurt the reputation of their university nearly as much as watching their fans respond to the facts laid before them. I suppose a community's true character is revealed under adversity.

Getting way OT here - but my spelling skills have gotten much worse with continued use of the Internet. Blame it on spell check. When I proofread I check for sense and meaning - not spelling. Granted, it is attention to detail - but that is what spell check is for. So their.
