I don't think it's that far off in the context he used it.

A University self inflicting horrific damage to its name.

I didn't interpret him trying to compare the two underlying tragedies.

Yeah, he even acknowledges that it sounds "dramatic"

It has been a debacle of the highest order ? and the football part is the least of it. The last time a university so seriously damaged its own image, students were killed on the Kent State campus in 1971. While that might sound dramatic, think about it. As the legal process likely plays out in heartbreaking, horrendous and costly fashion, Penn State will be associated with the name ?Sandusky? for years to come.

In the absensce of doing such a comparison... I mean right now... this could go the way of the Va. Tech Shootings or the Duke LaCrosse thing (well, which rightfully has receded) as part of the "Identity" of the University. But, its not over, more details come to light as time goes on. I guess we'll see.

I think though, that this is one of those things that isn't comparable to SMU or a basketball point shaving thing... or tats, or Reggie Bush. There are NCAA violations... and there are real victims. (Well, in NCAA violations, there usually are beneficiaries, actually)

"Penn State says O'Brien's comin'....we're finally our own
Late summer the news was hummin' - child raping's for what we're known
Gotta get down to it - kids spread eagle'd and sad
Shoulda been stopped long ago....
What if you saw him balls deep - an told dad
How could sleep when you know? "

It's kind of ironic that Pedo State fans are pissed about a coach.... If I'm in their shoes, I'm happy to have ANY coach for next year. Considering what's gone down in the last 6 months, I'd be happy with Larry Coke-r as my HC. :slappy:

At least the admin is staying true to its word when they said football would be de-emphasized.

WE WERE - PENN STATE!

Great, so now we'll have more butt hurt (no pun intended, I swear) fans than ever trying to troll message boards complaining about their ONE singular athletic program, which used to have SOME success, now playing like shit.

What else could they do? I'm amazed that the BOT, the Gov and the state legislature haven't demanded that the entire football staff resign or be fired.

I shouldn't be surprised though. When comparing the responses of PSU fans to the Sandusky mess to the responses of BP when the news broke on the Tat 5. The BP response was much more realistic.

I have a good friend who's a PSU grad - class of 58 - we were discussing the issue and he gives me a jab about the loss of the bowl game. I jab back that this mess hasn't gotten to the NCAA yet.

He maintains that it never will, that this is all simply an internal matter to be decided by the university and possibly the local courts and that the NCAA would have no jurisdiction - thus no resulting penalties.

I maintain that what goes on inside a football program is the responsibility of the university, that the deliberate failure to disclose, or even to pursue a criminal investigation of a reported rape, is a failure of that responsibility.

Any of our local legal beagles have an opinion? I know NCAA law is different than almost any other form of law, but give it a shot.

There is one issue I had been wondering about. One of the early reports had mentioned that Sandusky had been recruiting for Penn State up until a couple of weeks before the news broke (although it's possible he was recruiting for Second Mile). I don' know all the subtleties of recruiting rules, but I was pretty sure he is prohibited from doing that.

Did anyone else pick up on that little tidbit?
