Penn State Cult (Joe Knew)

If anyone thinks the shower incident was the first time Joe herd of Sandusky's issuse you are nuts. it was the first one they couldn't keep covered up.

That didn't stop them from trying to cover it up.

I like how, according to whatever story it was I read on some website I'm sure was linked from this thread, Penn State was arguing just to be allowed to play football for those 4 years. The NCAA was ready to pull the trigger, but Penn State was able to convince Mark Emmert to convince whatever other presidents were involved in the decision to back away from the gun, and fall back to the penalty we see now. A major reason for the sympathy was the community in State College that relies on football Saturdays. Tourism, restaurants, etc. They didn't know what was going on. They didn't do anything wrong (except, maybe, give unhealthy amounts of praise to a single man). But now the pedsters are looking for ways to make games be played overseas. They're LOOKING to play away games, or at least at neutral sites.

I think Paterno knew that Sandusky was doing something unethical behind the scenes. I think others likely reported things to him before McQueary.

Why McQueary didn't beat Sandusky within an inch of his life, is beyond me. He must have known

Tourism and/or business had to play a part. Any of you ever go to Penn State's main campus? It's in the middle of nowhere. It's easily a 3 to 3-1/2 hour drive from Philadelphia, and at least a couple hour drive from Harrisburg

Have you ever gone to the BWI forum? Any and all support you have now would probably shrivel to nothing within hours of visiting there.

I met some nice people that were PSU alums this weekend. They were camping in the site next to us. At least they were nice until I suggested that Paterno knew what was going on in the showers. Conversation dried up after that.

Well, at least they didn't try and break out the BWI list of talking points to educate you.
