Damned cult members are being interviewed by Chicago papers now.

Lance Manion, 42, of Lincoln Park, doesn't share that opinion. He said a "shadow" has been cast over the season by the blame that has fallen upon Paterno in the scandal. He said he does not believe the results of the Freeh report, which suggests the former coach actively tried to cover for Sandusky.
"I have read [the report] through twice," he said. "I think it's filled with a lot of leaps of logic."
Though he has donated to the school several times in the past, he said he is withholding any more support until both Penn State's president and board of trustees resign for accepting the Freeh report and for what he says is a failure to defend the university. He plans on attending a few games in person this season, and also is helping to organize a protest against the university at its next board meeting.
"Ultimately there has to be a restoration of Joe Paterno's legacy and his record," he said.

"I think it kind of made me look back at my youth in a very, very different way," he said. "To a certain extent, that's still something I am dealing with." The scandal also has presented a certain "awkwardness" when he tells people where he went to school, and how close he was to Sandusky's program. Day said he believes it is clear Paterno knew about the abuse, and failed to do enough about it. He still plans to watch the games and support the team this season, but he hopes attention shifts from Penn State's football program?which he said should be an extracurricular activity?to its academic program.

Too bad there aren't more PSU fans like Day. It's going to take a while to deprogram the cultists.

True, but don't forget. In these and all the other cataclysms cited previously - nobody took away any scholarships. Nobody took away bowl games.

Loss of life - yes. Destruction of homes - sure. Involuntary servitude - granted.

But not scholarships. Not bowl games.
