First off, this obliviax person must be bi-polar because one day it seems he gets it, then he has posts like the one above.

I love how they will cry "old man, senile, sick!!" about Joe when it suits them, then they turn around a say he was the only true leader of the school. I guess they don't get that Joe being the "only true leader" of the university as a fucking football coach is the reason their beloved institution of football crazies...um....I mean higher learning is the very reason the Freeh group and the NCAA said there is a culture problem at PSU.

Well to be fair if Paterno was the most viral man on the campus it does go to great lengths to explain Happy Valley.

If these donations that they're accepting to "conduct polling" turn out to be a scam, Christmas will have come a little early this year.

One of the guys is from Tennessee, and I just picture him sitting up in some shotgun shack in the hills running a grift on these clowns so he can buy himself a piece of bottom land.

I really think he is a 10-2 or better every year kind of coach, but given the sanctions, 8-4 becomes the new bar... Better players, better over all coaching, better strength program.

So what are you saying here, that Paterno- who wasn't a 10 and 2 coach very often in the Big 10- wasn't that good a coach compared to O'Buttchin? That the players leaving should have been second string cause what's left is better?

I could have been much worse: ESPNOTL

That same morning, NCAA President Mark A. Emmert called Penn State President Rodney A. Erickson and told him the majority of the NCAA's Division I board of directors -- 18 university presidents -- had coalesced around a decision: Shut down Penn State's football program for four years.

This isn't surprising- protocol went out the window:

Marsh said he and his colleagues quickly concluded that there was no use trying to persuade the NCAA to go the traditional route. "Their minds were made up," he said.

BWI will have a field day with this:

That weekend, only Peetz and her executive committee were told about the consent decree or that sanctions were imminent. Those trustees did not tell their colleagues. This was by necessity, university officials say. The NCAA had warned Penn State that if there was a leak about proposed sanctions to the media, the discussions would end and the death penalty would be all but certain.

Yup.
Yet some trustees see little positive in moving forward with Penn State football so changed. Some trustees argue that the package of sanctions was worse than the death penalty. Some remain furious at Erickson. The Freeh group had criticized the board for knowing little about the Sandusky matter and doing even less. And now, when it came to one of the biggest financial decisions in Penn State's history, a majority of the trustees had no idea that Erickson and lawyers were hammering out the agreement. At a three-hour discussion on July 25, trustees demanded answers for the lack of communication, and Erickson and Marsh explained the NCAA demands. Marsh repeated his analogy that it was like "a cram-down," which some trustees later said made sense to them. Afterward, the board released a statement standing by Erickson and saying that if the penalties had not been accepted, the outcome would have been far more Draconian.
Trustees who remain angry are mad at themselves too. Several say the board should not have tacitly accepted the Freeh report's findings within hours of its release. The circumstances have a handful of trustees discussing how to overturn the decree in court. "This was such overkill," one trustee says. "It's like walking around with a dagger in you. Emmert and the NCAA are basically ruining this university. They are destroying the school."
Indeed, much of the fury is directed at Emmert, who in the end may actually have kept the football program on the field. "What I have seen of him and heard of him, I just can't stand the guy," one trustee says, noting Emmert's comfort roaming the stage during the July 23 presser and his media availability afterward.
Some trustees complain that the NCAA used sanctions as an opportunity for university presidents to exact revenge: The Penn State Way of piling up victories while graduating players at the highest levels was something their own schools could not do.
"Mark Emmert showed himself to be a sanctimonious hypocrite," says Anthony Lubrano, a trustee who joined the board in April and is an unabashed Paterno supporter. "Joe Paterno had more integrity in his little finger than Emmert has in his whole body."

Cripes...we were this close to being rid of these mutants. In retrospect, I bet the ncaa wishes they would have just shut them down. At this point, I'm just hoping Mitchell has the sack to shut them down if shit gets too crazy...and it will, these barbarians know nothing but extremes.
